Lyrically, there is no doubt about where the band's inspiration and interests lie. In "Walk On Water," Mark Stuart sings, "If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water/If I keep my eyes on him I can walk on water just like Peter." This unwavering faith is continally reaffirmed in an appealingly unapologetic guitar-churning context, and often with an inviting blend of wit and humility--as on "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus," in which Stuart fantasizes, "I could move to Hollywood/Get my teeth capped/I know I could be a big star on the silver screen/Just like James Dean," and then concludes, "Never gonna be as big as Jesus/Never gonna hold the world in my hand."
