someone to hear your prayers, someone who cares
So what are his songs really about? Martin drops subtle hints. "I have a top ten list of topics," he says, with a mischievous smile. "These include: relationships, domination, lust, love, good, evil, inscest, sin, religion, immorality." For example, last summer's hit "Personal Jesus" is based on Pricilla Presley's idolatry of her King in her book Elvis & Me.
"It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way. We play these god-like parts for people but no one is perfect, and that's not a very balanced view of someone is it?"
