This is an evangelical poem/song, composed and performed by Socialist Church founder http://soundcloud.com/stephen-wallis, that is not particularly religious but outlines some of the philosophy of the church. It and the Socialist Church aims to bring religious people, who adhere to any of many different religions or just have spiritual beliefs of one sort or another, uniting those of us who want a very good (mainly if not totally) socialist world, together in the struggle for heaven/paradise on earth.

The Socialist Throng - Steve Wallis

A religious love song. It (temporarily) won the heart of the woman it is dedicated to.

The views expressed in it were the views of the songwriter/poet/singer http://soundcloud.com/stephen-wallis at the time, and should not be regarded as those of the Socialist Church.

Resurrection - Steve Wallis

A religious poem, dedicated To Nathalie Monier, a French student and member of Manchester Socialist Party (a party Steve was also in at the time) who he was in love with - but didn't tell her, because she had a boyfriend (also in the party) the whole time he knew her.

Nathalie died in very suspicious circumstances about a week before Princess Diana, and Steve believes she was assassinated (by an organisation on the side of big business, perhaps MI5). Steve hoped when he wrote and performed the poem (and still hopes although he now thinks it less likely) that he will see her in heaven. But maybe heaven is the same place as outer space, and Steve will see her some time after a revolution when an advanced socialist society there makes contact with the new society on the earth. Steve thought this society in outer space would wait until it was safe to do so, i.e. when there aren't people like George W Bush in power who would probably use weapons of mass destruction to destroy whole planets...)

The lyrics are also included below:

Unforgettable, so near then so far
Unforgettable, do you circle that star?

Oh darling, you were so incredible
That I found it unbelievable
That your death was not deliberate
The world we tried to liberate

Between us there was chemistry
Your boyfriend was so ugly
But he was also in the party
I was filled with jealousy
But I couldn’t act on it
I didn’t want to cause a split
I didn’t think it a socialist act
And confidence with women I lacked

Now you are gone
The struggle goes on
I’ll try to change the world through song 
But for you I still long

Are you up there looking down on me?
Will I see you when the world is free?
Do you live in outer space?
Will I save the human race?

When you were here
I loved you, my dear
But I didn’t say so
Your death came as such a blow

Oh darling, you were so political
For you a smile was typical
Our love was not physical
To see you again would be a miracle

Unforgettable, I long for that day
Unforgettable, would it help if I pray?

Perhaps heaven is where you are
Maybe it includes that far away star
Does it matter if God exists?
If not, the galaxy may be full of socialists!

Or maybe you are gone forever
I have to face the thought that I may never
See you again

I will find out after the revolution
When earthlings have reached a resolution
When good has triumphed over bad
But if I don’t see you then, I’ll be very sad
