| Look at all my trials and tribulations
|
| Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
|
| Don’t disturb me now I can see the answers
|
| Till this evening is this morning life is fine
|
| Always hoped that I’d be an apostle
|
| Knew that I would make it if I tried
|
| Then when we retire we can write the gospels
|
| So they’ll still talk about us when we’ve died
|
| (Jesus)
|
| The end. |
| ..
|
| Is just a little harder when brought about by friends
|
| For all you care this wine could be my blood
|
| For all you care this bread could be my body
|
| The end
|
| This is my blood you drink
|
| This is my body you eat
|
| If you would remember me when you eat and drink!
|
| I must be mad thinking I’ll be remembered — yes
|
| I must be out of my head!
|
| Look at your blank faces! |
| My name will mean nothing
|
| Ten minutes after I’m dead!
|
| One of you denies me
|
| One of you betrays me
|
| (Jesus)
|
| Peter will deny me in just a few hours
|
| Three times will deny me — and that’s not all I see
|
| One of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen
|
| Will leave to betray me —
|
| (Judas) Cut out the dramatics! |
| You know very well who —
|
| (Jesus) Why don’t you go do it?
|
| (Judas) You want me to do it!
|
| (Jesus) Hurry they are waiting
|
| (Judas) If you knew why I do it. |
| ..
|
| (Jesus) I don’t care why you do it!
|
| (Judas) To think I admired you
|
| For now I despise you
|
| (Jesus) You liar — you Judas
|
| (Judas) You wanted me to do it!
|
| What if I just stayed here
|
| And ruined your ambition?
|
| Christ you deserve it!
|
| (Jesus)
|
| Hurry you fool, hurry and go,
|
| Save me your speeches
|
| I don’t want to know — Go! |
| Go!
|
| (Apostles)
|
| Look at all my trials and tribulations
|
| Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
|
| What’s that in the bread it’s gone to my head
|
| Till this morning is this evening life is fine
|
| Always hoped that I’d be an apostle
|
| Knew that I would make it if I tried
|
| Then when we retire we can write the gospels
|
| So they’ll all talk about us when we’ve died
|
| (Judas)
|
| You sad pathetic man — see where you’ve brought us to
|
| Our ideals die around us and all because of you
|
| But the saddest cut of all —
|
| Someone has to turn you in
|
| Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal
|
| A jaded mandarin
|
| A jaded mandarin
|
| Like a jaded, jaded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin
|
| (Jesus)
|
| Get out! |
| They’re waiting! |
| Get out! |
| They’re waiting!
|
| Oh! |
| They’re waiting for you!
|
| (Judas)
|
| Everytime I look at you I don’t understand
|
| Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
|
| You’d have managed better if you’d had it planned —
|
| Ah --- ah
|
| (Apostles)
|
| Look at all my trials and tribulations
|
| Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
|
| Dont disturb me now
|
| I can see the answers
|
| Till this evening is this morning life is fine
|
| Always hoped that I’d be an apostle
|
| Knew that I would make it if I tried
|
| Then when we retire we can write the gospels
|
| So they’ll still talk about us when we’ve died
|
| (Jesus)
|
| Will no-one stay awake with me?
|
| Peter? |
| John? |
| James?
|
| Will none of you wait with me?
|
| Peter? |
| John? |
| James? |
