The Church is an alternative rock band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelia acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label

FG Oh lord we are threatened again In the slipstream pull of the federal men Plummet in some seamless night Down here to earth it's hopeless then
AmEmF#G Apache gunmen in the boiling crowd Who never got to meet you last time We're interrupted by the telephone You didn't think they were invented then
FG Oh lord we need miracles We need more wine and gold We need slaves and roads and personal favours We need microphones and manifolds

AmEmF#G So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway With a dead sun shining on my back And we talk about the way people treat us back there The hollow laughter the pain in their eyes
FG Oh my lord I trust your intentions But money strangles our love Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels You would have thought I'd had enough
