Gloria (10:18)
From Land (1975-2002) (disc 1) and 17 other releases
From her 1975 album Horses. This is based on the Morrison tune, but its lyrics are reinvented for the nascent punk rock movement, retaining only the chorus, and adding possibly ironic allusions to the sacred versions. It memorably begins, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins / But not mine”.

Send ‘Gloria’ Ringtone to Cell
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves, wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone, my sins my own
They belong to me, me
