Should 'Magnet of World' be included?

"St. Augustine's Pears", "Mine Field", and "Magnet of the World" were the first three songs that came to my mind when I read the thread title.

Great minds think alike. :wink:

I would never have thought of St Augustine's Pears as being about temptation as much as original sin and total depravity. Maybe that is because the passage it references is, so I hear it differently-though I suppose it's in there.

I think Pied Piper and Run For Cover are not necessarily about temptation either (The former is about false teachers and the latter Christians who think they can reject the authority of the Church) though I suppose they touch on it.

Magnet of the World would be the best fit for such a theme, Think Twice is good too.

Woman Don't You Know and Sally deal with specific temptation rather than temptation as a whole, I suppose Who Do You Listen To does as well.

Killing My Old Man and Jekyll and Hyde as the struggle against the old man would be good ones.

Computer Brains touches on the subject tangentially, as would First Love or Dance.
