This is the sixth song on the album, coming before "My God" and after "Wond'ring Aloud". Also, it is the last song on Side A of the album. This song is about a guy that makes choices and states that they were up to him and he did not have to do it. For instance, he leaves his date at a bar ("Take you to the cinema/And leave you in a wimpy bar --/You tell me that weve gone to far --/Come running up to me."). He also talks about breaking his cousins glasses at a party and leaving him to put them back together.

This is the first song on Side B, coming before "Hymn 43" and after "Up To Me". The song first states that people have minipulated God for their purposes ("Locked him in his golden cage./Made him bend to your religion --"). Then, it goes on to state the atheist point of view ("He is the God of nothing --/If thats all that you can see."), and the Christian point of view ("You are the God of everything --/Hes inside you and me."). It then says that people should lean on God gently, "And dont call on him to save you/From your social graces/And the sins you used to waive." Graces, in this sense, refers to charities, and most likely means that because throughout history, the church has generally helped the rich, the church is only doing the charities to make them look good. The sins that were waved refer to during the Protestant Reformation, when people would pay the church indulgences to have their sins forgiven. It then says that the church is wrapped in the chains of history, meaning that it cannot be forgotten just because it was the church doing it, showing it's also "earthly presence".
