The Power Of Love

The World Is My Oyster
Packed by xlztt ‘cross my heart’
the third single is number five in zang tummm tumb’s burning action series. “away with false idols and the baubles of science.”[1]
the twelve inch features the love, the oyster, the scrapped first and second singles and holier than thou.
“Essentially, faith is an attitude of trust and commitment. The man of faith, therefore, is the man who takes up such an attitude in the face of the world. The world as a whole is, finally, a mystery that cannot be grasped except in partial and fragmentary ways. But faith thrusts beyond the partial and the fragmentary in order to place trust and commitment in the mystery itself.”
