I reject any suggestion that the appearance of Superstition in this blog, immediately after Ego Sum Pauper, is a strange and even ironic coincidence. I am also fully aware that one of Stevie Wonder's greatest songs has the same subject and title; I recommend this outstanding live performance (click here) and only wish I had his singing-voice, let alone his backing group, to bring out the full potential of this song, especially the Voodoo parts.
You know the men who landed on the moon
They
feared not for their doom
With
a rabbit’s foot and a charm around their necks
St
Christopher stood guard
To
see they’d come home safe and sound
That
the god of their computers was not wrecked
Oh
superstition it’s just superstition
Have
you ever felt so sure
That
you’ve been here once before
And
you know it isn’t just some memory
Maybe
in some former life
Or
you dreamed it in the night
Or
you read it in some book of psychology
For
a priest it takes no time
To
turn the water into wine
And
if there is some trick well it’s one you cannot see
His
hand moves north south east and west
And
the wafer turns to flesh
You
can watch it on the miracle of T.V.
Can
you feel the darkness deep
Do
you fear the vampire’s teeth
Trust
to luck tonight he may not call
Take
the Cross into your hand
Kneel
down on the sand
If
the heart believes the rain will surely fall
You
know it’s written in the stars
Jupiter’s
in line with Mars
The
sun’s gone cold the end is drawing near
Any
moment any time
The
Messiah will arrive
Redeem
your sins and save your souls from fear
Fear
and superstitions away with all your superstitions
Voodoo...
