The Man Who Called Himself Jesus |
Man Who Called Himself Jesus |
He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes |
And said «You know I’m Jesus», and I must have looked surprised |
Because he said «Please don’t be hasty, no-one understands |
But I’ve got a way to prove it» and he lifted up his hands |
He was the man who called himself Jesus |
For a minute I was speechless, then I looked into his face |
With sufficient lines of sadness for the total human race |
And I said «You must be joking» but he slowly shook his head |
And said «That's what they all say, I might as well be dead» |
He asked me if I knew a place where he could start to preach |
I said «Well try a church or maybe Brighton beach» |
And I was trying to be serious but he didn’t seem impressed |
He said «You think I’m crazy, you’re just like all the rest» |
I was really quite embarrassed, he was looking so sincere |
So I said «I close the shop soon, won’t you come and have a beer» |
Then he asked me if I meant it and he smiled a funny smile |
And he said he’d rather like that and he hung arounds a while |
On the way he stopped to pat little children’s heads |
And he taught them one line prayers to say as they went off to their beds |
But mostly they were frightened and they looked at him wide eyed |
And when he said his name was Jesus, one girl even cried |
In the pub I asked him if he’d tried to see the Pope |
And he said although he’d thought about it there was really not a hope |
Then he said he thought he’d better go, he had some work to do |
He said he’d come and see me in about a week or two |
Well after he had gone I thought of what he’d said |
And all his funny actions they kept running through my head |
And when I felt my mind was drowning in a sea of mud |
It seemed his pint of beer had turned into a pint of blood |
