Recorded live at Folkestone's legendary Chambers club, and taken from a pronouncement from Martin Luther "There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life) conversion of the heart, the mind and of the purse" the idea of opening any of these three up to make for a better life, Christian or otherwise seemed like a good place to start a song.
lyrics
My my heart has spoken, keep it unbroken, keeping it free Say, my mind’s not made up, membership paid up, Share it with me

The heart the mind the purse, salvation finds them first
The heart the mind the purse
Take it from me, I’ll give you all three

Grace would be so easy, I could fall freely, in your embrace
Some, someone to hold me, love one who told me
I’d found my place
The heart the mind the purse, to quench this holy thirst
The heart the mind the purse
Take it from me, I’ll give you all three
The heart the mind, I think they’re there to find, the purse, rehearse we couldn’t do it
worse , the time is right, blinking in the light.
The heart the mind the purse, to quench this holy thirst
The heart the mind the purse
Take it from me, I’ll give you all three
Shaking my tree, taking both knees
H M & P all stand for free
