Just off the top of my head - Bed of Roses. I want to be as close as the Holy Ghost is - shameless Catholic imagery

And BoB was written in the 80's - everything was cheaper then - even prostitutes LOL

What about Blaze of Glory? There's the line "I'm what Cain was to Abel" which invokes religious imagery.

I'm not sure about it so I'm gonna ask. What about that line in Bad Medicine "An all night generater wrapped in stockings and a dress"? That could be, maybe.

Oh and in Woman In Love, there's a line that says "She can part the water when the seas get rough", that could be a reference to Moses in the Bible.

"An all night generator" is not a prostitute, it's a reference to the girl they're singing about in Bad Medicine.

Well I realize that now that you pointed it out, I guess I couldnt think of anything else and that popped into my mind.
