My mind is clearer now

At last, all too well

I can see

Where we all soon will be

If you strip away

The myth from the man

You will see

Where we all soon will be

Jesus

You've started to believe

The things they say of you

You really do believe

This talk of God is true

And all the good you've done

Will soon get swept away

You've begun to matter more than the things you say

Listen, Jesus, I don't like what I see

All I ask is that you listen to me

And remember

I've been your right-hand man all along

You have set them all on fire

They think they've found the new Messiah

And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of God then, we called you a man

And believe me

My admiration for you hasn't died

But every word you say today

Gets twisted round some other way

And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Nazareth, your famous son

Should have stayed a great unknown

Like his father carving wood He'd have made good

Tables, chairs and oaken chests

Would have suited Jesus best

He'd have caused nobody harm

No one alarm

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?

Don't you see we must keep in our place?

We are occupied

Have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd

For we are getting much too loud

And they'll crush us if we go too far

If we go too far

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour

Your followers are blind

Too much heaven on their minds

It was beautiful but now it's sour

Yes, it's all gone sour

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

So come on, come on

He won't listen to me

Come on, listen, listen to me

Come on, listen to me

Come on, listen to me

Come on, listen, listen to me

Come on, listen to me

Listen to me

Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

Why should you want to know?

Don't you mind about the future

Don't you try to think ahead

Save tomorrow for tomorrow

Think about today instead

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

I could give you facts and figures

Even give you plans and forecasts When do we ride into Jerusalem?

Even tell you where I'm going

When do we ride into Jerusalem?

When do we ride into Jerusalem?

When do we ride into Jerusalem?

When do we ride into Jerusalem?

Why should you want to know?

Why are you obsessed with fighting

Times and fates you can't defy?

If you knew the path we're riding

You'd understand it less than I

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face

Let me try, let me try to cool down your face

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Mary, that is good

While you prattle through your supper

Where and when and who and how

She alone is trying to give me

What I need right here and now

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

It seems to me a strange thing

Mystifying

That a man like you

Can waste his time

On women of her kind...

Hey, cool it, man.

Yes, I can understand that she amuses

But to let her kiss you

And stroke your hair

That's hardly in your line

It's not that I object to her profession

But she doesn't fit in well

With what you teach and say

It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent

They only need a small excuse

To put us all away

Who are you to criticise her?

Who are you to despise her?

Leave her, leave her, let her be now

Leave her, leave her, she's with me now

If your slate is clean then you can throw stones

If your slate is not

Then leave her alone

Jesus, what have we said?

What have we done that's so wrong?

- Come on. - Wait a minute.

- What's wrong with him? - Why did he say that?

I'm amazed that men like you

Can be so shallow, thick and slow

There is not a man among you

Who knows or cares if I come or go

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

How can you say that? How can you say that?

How can you say that? How can you say that?

Not one, not one of you!

We've been sitting on the fence for far too long

Why let him upset us?

Caiaphas, let him be

All those imbeciles will see

He really doesn't matter

Jesus is important

We've let him go his way before

And while he starts a major war

We theorise and chatter

He's just another scripture-thumping hack from Galilee

The difference is they call him king

The difference frightens me

What about the Romans?

When they see King Jesus crowned

Do you think they'll stand around

Cheering and applauding?

What about our people?

If they see we've lost our nerve

Don't you think that they deserve

Something more rewarding?

They've got what they want

They think so anyway

If he's what they want

Why take their toy away?

He's a craze

Put yourself in my place

I can hardly step aside

Cannot let my hands be tied

I am law and order

What about our priesthood?

Don't you see that we could fall?

If we are to last at all

We cannot be divided

Then say so to the council

But don't rely on subtlety

Frighten them or they won't see

Then we are decided?

Then we are decided

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto problems that upset you

Don't you know everything's all right

Yes, everything's fine

And we want you to sleep well tonight

Let the world turn without you tonight

If we try, we'll get by

So forget all about us tonight

Everything's all right

Yes, everything's all right, yes

Sleep and I shall soothe you

Calm you and anoint you

Myrrh for your hot forehead

Then you'll feel everything's all right

Yes, everything's fine

And it's cool and the ointment's sweet

For the fire in your head and feet

Close your eyes, close your eyes

And relax, think of nothing tonight

Everything's all right Yes, everything's all right

Woman your fine ointment

Brand-new and expensive

Should have been saved for the poor

Why has it been wasted

We could have raised maybe

300 silver pieces or more

People who are hungry

People who are starving

They matter more

Than your feet and hair

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto problems that upset you

Don't you know everything's all right

Yes, everything's all right, yes

Surely you're not saying

We have the resources

To save the poor from their lot?

There will be poor always

Pathetically struggling

Look at the good things you've got

Think while you still have me

Move while you still see me

You'll be lost

And you'll be sorry

When I'm gone

Sleep and I shall soothe you

Calm you and anoint you

Myrrh for your hot forehead

Then you'll feel everything's all right

Yes, everything's fine

And it's cool and the ointment's sweet

For the fire in your head and feet

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Think of nothing tonight

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax, think of nothing

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes Everything's all right, yeah

Everything's all right, yeah

Everything's all right, yeah

Everything's all right, yeah

Good Caiaphas

The council waits for you

The Pharisees and priests are here for you

Gentlemen

You know why we are here

We've not much time

And quite a problem here

Hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar

Hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar

Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street

A trick or two with lepers

And the whole town's on its feet

He is dangerous

Jesus Christ Superstar

He is dangerous

..that you're who they say you are That man is in town right now

To whip up some support

A rabble-rousing mission

That I think we must abort

He is dangerous

Jesus Christ Superstar

He is dangerous

Look Caiaphas

They're right outside our yard

Quick Caiaphas Go call the Roman guard

No, wait

We need a more permanent solution to our problem

What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth

Miracle wonder man, hero of fools

No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans

One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool

We cannot leave him to his own devices

His half-witted fans will get out of control

How can we stop him? His glamour increases

By leaps every minute He's top of the poll

I see bad things arising

The crowd crown him king which the Romans would ban

I see blood and destruction

Our elimination because of one man

Blood and destruction because of one man

Because, because, because of one man

Our elimination because of one man

Because, because, because of one, cos of one, cos of one man

What then to do about this Jesusmania?

How do we deal with the carpenter king?

Where do we start with a man who is bigger

Than John was when John did his baptism thing?

Fools, you have no perception

The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high

We must crush him completely

So like John before him, this Jesus must die

For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die

Must die, must die, this Jesus must die

So like John before him, this Jesus must die

Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must

Jesus must die

Hosanna heysanna

Sanna sanna ho

Sanna hey sanna ho sanna

Hey JC, JC

Won't you smile at me?

Sanna ho sanna hey

Superstar

Tell the rabble to be quiet

We anticipate a riot

This common crowd

Is much too loud

Tell the mob who sing your song

That they are fools and they are wrong

They are a curse

They should disperse

Hosanna heysanna

Sanna sanna ho

Sanna hey sanna ho sanna

Hey JC, JC

You're all right by me

Sanna ho sanna hey

Superstar

Why waste your breath

Moaning at the crowd?

Nothing can be done

To stop the shouting

If every tongue was still

The noise would still continue

The rocks and stones themselves

Would start to sing

Hosanna heysanna

Sanna sanna ho

Sanna hey sanna ho sanna

Hey JC, JC

Won't you fight for me?

Sanna ho sanna hey

Superstar

Sing me your songs

But not for me alone

Sing out for yourselves

For you are blessed

There is not one of you who cannot win the kingdom

The slow, the suffering

The quick, the dead

Hosanna heysanna

Sanna sanna ho

Sanna hey sanna ho sanna

Hey JC, JC

Won't you die for me?

Sanna ho sanna hey

Superstar

That you made it and you're easily as strong

As the filth from Rome who rape our country

And who terrorised our people for so long

Jesus, I am with you

Touch me, touch me, Jesus

Jesus, I am on your side

Kiss me, kiss me, Jesus

Christ, you know I love you

There must be over 50,000 50,000

Screaming love and more for you Love, love, love

And every one of 50,000

Would do whatever you asked them to Tell us, Simon

Keep them yelling their devotion

But add a touch of hate at Rome

You will rise to a greater power

We will win ourselves a home

You'll get the power and the glory You'll get the glory

Forever and ever and ever Ever and ever

You'll get the power and the glory You'll get the power

Forever and ever and ever Ever and ever

You'll get the power and the glory You'll get the power

You'll get the power, you'll get the glory

Hey hey hey hey You'll get the power

You You'll get the power

Forever, amen

Aaaaaa...

..men

Neither you, Simon

Nor the 50,000

Nor the Romans

Nor the Jews

Nor Judas, nor the 12

Nor the priests, nor the scribes

Nor doomed Jerusalem itself

Understand what power is

Understand what glory is

Understand at all

Understand at all

If you knew

All that I knew

My poor Jerusalem

You'd see the truth

But you close your eyes

But you close your eyes

While you live

Your troubles are many

Poor Jerusalem

To conquer death

You only have to die

I dreamed

I met a Galilean

A most amazing man

He had that look you very rarely find

The haunting, haunted kind

I asked him

To say what had happened

How it all began

I asked again

He never said a word

As if he hadn't heard

And next the room was full

Of wild and angry men

They seemed to hate this man

They fell on him and then disappeared again

Then I saw

Thousands of millions

Crying for this man

And then I heard them mentioning my name

And leaving me the blame

Pilate

Roll on up, Jerusalem

Come on in, Jerusalem

Sunday, here we go again

Live in me, Jerusalem

Here you live, Jerusalem

Here you breathe, Jerusalem

While your temple still survives

You at least are still alive

I've got things you won't believe

Name your pleasure, I will sell

I can fix your wildest needs

I've got heaven, I've got hell

Roll on up for my price is down

Come on in for the best in town

Take your pick of the finest wine

Lay your bets on this bird of mine

What you see is what you get

No one's been disappointed yet

Don't be scared, give me a try

There is nothing you can't buy

Name your price, I've got everything

Hurry, it's all going fast

Borrow cash on the finest terms

Hurry now while stocks still last

Roll on up, Jerusalem

Come on in, Jerusalem

Sunday, here we go again

Live in me, Jerusalem

Here you live, Jerusalem

Here you breathe, Jerusalem

While your temple still survives

You at least are still alive

I've got things you won't believe

Name your pleasure, I will sell...

My temple should be

A house of prayer

But you have made it

A den of thieves

Get out, get out

My time is almost through

Little left to do

After all I've tried for three years

Seems like 30

Seems like 30

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See me stand, I can hardly walk

I believe you can make me whole

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my legs, I can hardly stand

I believe you can make me well

See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man

Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?

Won't you touch, won't you heal me, Christ?

Will you kiss, you can cure me, Christ?

Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See me stand, I can hardly walk

I believe you can make me whole

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my legs, I can hardly stand

I believe you can make me well

See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man

Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?

Won't you touch, will you heal me, Christ?

Will you kiss, you can cure me, Christ?

Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See me stand, I can hardly walk

I believe you can make me whole

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my legs, I can hardly stand

I believe you can make me well

See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man

Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?

Won't you touch, will you heal me, Christ?

Will you kiss, will you cure me, Christ?

Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See me stand, I can hardly walk

I believe you can make me whole

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

There's too many of you I believe you can make me well

Don't push me Will you mend me, Christ?

There's too little of me

Don't crowd me

Leave me alone!

- Please, Jesus. - Touch me, Jesus.

Close your eyes, close your eyes

And forget all about us tonight

I don't know how to love him

What to do

How to move him

I've been changed

Yes, really changed

In these past few days

When I've seen myself

I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this

I don't see why he moves me

He's a man

He's just a man

And I've had so many men before

In very many ways

He's just one more

Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?

Should I speak of love?

Let my feelings out?

I never thought I'd come to this

What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny

I should be in this position?

I'm the one

Who's always been

So calm, so cool

No lover's fool

Running every show

He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this

What's it all about?

Yet if he said he loved me

I'd be lost

I'd be frightened

I couldn't cope

Just couldn't cope

I'd turn my head

I'd back away

I wouldn't want to know

He scares me so

I want him so

I love him so

Now if I help you, it matters that you see

These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me

It's taken me some time to work out what to do

I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you

I had no thought at all about my own reward

I really didn't come here of my own accord

Just don't say I'm

Damned for all time

I came because I had to I'm the one who saw

Jesus can't control it like he did before

And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too

Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you

I have no thought at all about my own reward

I really didn't come here of my own accord

Just don't say I'm

Damned for all time

Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise

Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise

Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones?

We see the sad solution, know what must be done

I have no thought at all about my own reward

I really didn't come here of my own accord

Just don't say I'm

Damned

For all time

Cut the protesting

Forget the excuses

We want information, get up off the floor

We have the papers, we need to arrest him

You know his movements, we know the law

Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded

We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail

We just need to know where the soldiers can find him

With no crowd round him Then we can't fail

I don't want your blood money

That doesn't matter, our expenses are good

I don't need your blood money

But you might as well take it

We think that you should

Think of the things you can do with that money

Choose any charity, give to the poor

We've noted your motives We've noted your feelings

This isn't blood money, it's a...

A fee A fee, nothing more

On Thursday night

You'll find him where you want him

Far from the crowds

In the Garden

Of Gethsemane

Well done, Judas

Good old Judas

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

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...

No! Not I!

Never!

Peter will deny me

- No! Not 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 12 chosen

Will leave to betray me

Cut out the dramatics

You know very well who

Why don't you go do it?

You want me to do it?

Hurry, they are waiting

If you knew why I do it

I don't care why you do it

To think I admired you

Well, now I despise you

You liar, you Judas

You wanted me to do it

What if I just stayed here and ruined your ambition?

Christ, you deserve it

Hurry, you fool, hurry and go

Save me your speeches

I don't want to know

Go, go

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

You sad, pathetic man

See where you've brought us to

Our ideals die around us

And all because of you

The saddest cut of all

Someone had to turn you in

Like a common criminal

Like a wounded animal

A jaded mandarin, a jaded mandarin

And like a jaded, a faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin

Get out, they're waiting

Get out

They're waiting, oh, they're waiting for you

Every time 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

Ohhhh

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle

Knew that I would make it if I tried If I tried

Then when we retire

We can write the Gospels

So they'll still talk about us when we've died

Will no one stay awake with me?

Peter?

John?

James?

Will none of you wait with me?

Peter?

John?

James?

I only want to say

If there is a way

Take this cup away from me

For I don't want to taste its poison

Feel it burn me

I have changed

I'm not as sure

As when we started

Then I was inspired

Now

I'm sad and tired

Listen

Surely I've exceeded expectations

Tried for three years

Seems like 30

Could you ask as much

From any other man?

But if I die

See the saga through

And do the things you ask of me

Let them hate me

Hit me, hurt me

Nail me to their tree

I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God

Want to know, I'd want to know, my God

Want to see, I'd want to see, my God

Want to see, I'd want to see, my God

Why I should die

Would I be more noticed

Than I ever was before?

Would the things I've said and done

Matter any more?

I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

If I die what will be my reward?

If I die what will be my reward?

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Why

Why should I die?

Oh, why should I die?

Can you show me now

That I would not be killed in vain?

Show me just a little

Of your omnipresent brain

Show me there's a reason

For your wanting me to die

Far too keen on where and how

But not so hot on why

All right

I'll die

Just watch me die

See how

See how I'll die

Just watch me die

Then I was inspired

Now I'm sad

And tired

After all

I've tried for three years

Seems like 90

Why then am I scared to finish

What I started?

What you started

I didn't start it

God

Thy will is hard

But you hold every card

I will drink your cup of poison

Nail me to your cross

And break me

Bleed me, beat me, kill me

Take me now

Before I change my mind

Judas

Must you betray me

With a kiss?

What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

What's the buzz?

Tell me what's happening

What's happening?

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening

Hang on Lord, we're gonna fight for you

Hang on Lord, we're gonna fight for you

Hang on Lord

We're gonna fight for you

Put away your sword

Don't you know that it's all over

It was nice but now it's gone

Why are you obsessed with fighting?

Stick to fishing from now on

It is! It is!

Tell me, Christ, how you feel tonight

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

What would you say were your big mistakes?

Do you think that you may retire?

Did you think you would get much higher?

How do you view your coming trial?

Have your men proved it's all worthwhile?

Come with us to see Caiaphas

You'll just love the High Priests' house

You'll just love seeing Caiaphas

You'll just die in the High Priests' house

Come on, God, this is not like you

Let us know what you're gonna do

You know what your supporters feel

You'll escape in the final reel

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you feel that you had the breaks?

What would you say were your big mistakes?

Come with us to see Caiaphas

You'll just love the High Priests' house

You'll just love seeing Caiaphas

You'll just die in the High Priests' house

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him

Now we have got him now

Jesus you must realise the serious charges facing you

You say you're the Son of God in all your handouts, well, is it true?

That's what you say, you say that I am

There you have it, gentlemen

What more evidence do we need?

Judas, thank you for the victim

Stay a while, you'll see it bleed

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Take him to Pilate, take him to Pilate

Take him to Pilate, take him to Pilate

I think I've seen you somewhere

I remember

You were with that man

They took away

I recognise your face

You've got the wrong man, lady

I don't know him

And I wasn't where he was tonight

Never near the place

That's strange for I am sure I saw you with him

You were right by his side and yet you denied

I tell you I was never ever with him

But I saw you too, he looked just like you

I don't know him

Peter, don't you know what you have said?

You've gone and cut him dead

I had to do it

Don't you see?

Or else they'd go for me

It's what he told us you would do

I wonder how he knew

There he is, see? Hurry, come on.

Who is this broken man

Cluttering up my hallway?

Who is this unfortunate?

Someone Christ, King of the Jews

Oh, so this is Jesus Christ

I am really quite surprised

You look so small

Not a king at all

We all know that you are news

But are you king? King of the Jews?

Your words, not mine

What do you mean by that?

That is not an answer

You're deep in trouble, friend

Someone Christ, King of the Jews

How can someone in your state

Be so cool about his fate?

An amazing thing

This silent king

Since you come from Galilee

Then you need not come to me

You're Herod's race

You're Herod's case

Hey hosanna heysanna

Sanna sanna ho

Sanna hey sanna ho

And how

Hey JC, JC

Please explain to me

You had everything

Where is it now?

Jesus, I am overjoyed

To meet you face to face

You've been getting quite a name

All around the place

- Healing cripples - Ooh!

Raising from the dead

Now I understand you're God...

Uh?

- Huh? - Mmm.

At least that's what you've said

So

You are the Christ

You're the great Jesus Christ

Prove to me that you're divine

Change my water into wine

That's all you need do

Then I'll know it's all true

Come on, King of the Jews

Jesus, you just won't believe

The hit you've made around here

You are all we talk about You're the wonder of the year

What a pity if it's all a lie

Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

So if you are the Christ

Yes, the great Jesus Christ

Prove to me that you're no fool

Walk across my swimming pool

- If you do that for me - Whoo!

- Then I'll let you go free - Whoo!

Come on, King of the Jews

I only ask what I'd ask any superstar

What is it that you have got

That puts you where you are?

Oh-ho-ho I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan

I'm dying to be shown

That you are not just any man

So if you are the Christ

Yes, the great Jesus Christ

Feed my household with this bread

You can do it on your head

Or has something gone wrong?

Jesus, why do you take so long?

Come on, King of the Jews

Hey, aren't you scared of me, Christ?

Mr Wonderful Christ

You're a joke, you're not the Lord

You are nothing but a fraud

Take him away

He's got nothing to say

Get out, you King of the

Get out, King of the

Get out, you King of the Jews

Get out of here, you, you

Get out of here, you

Get out of my life

I've been living to see you

Dying to see you

But it shouldn't be like this

This was unexpected

What do I do now?

Could we start again, please?

I've been very hopeful so far

Now for the first time

I think we're going wrong

Hurry up and tell me

This is just a dream

Or could we start again, please?

I think you've made your point now

You've even gone a bit too far

To get the message home

Before it gets too frightening

We ought to call a halt

So could we start again, please?

I've been living to see you

Dying to see you

But it shouldn't be like this

This was unexpected

What do I do now?

Could we start again, please? Could we start again, please?

I think you've made your point now

You've even gone a bit too far

To get the message home

Before it gets too frightening

We ought to call a halt

So could we start again, please?

Could we start again, please?

Could we start again, please?

Could we start again, please?

Could we start again, please?

Could we start again?

Could we start again?

My God, I saw him, he looked three quarters dead

And he was so bad I had to turn my head

You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame

And I know who everybody's gonna blame

I don't believe he knows I acted for our good

I'd save him all this suffering if I could

Don't believe

Our good

And I'd save him if I could

Cut the confessions, forget the excuses

I don't understand why you're filled with remorse

All that you've said has come true with a vengeance

The mob turned against him

You backed the right horse

What you have done will be the saving of everyone

You'll be remembered forever for this

And not only that You've been paid for your efforts

Pretty good wages for one little kiss

Christ, I know you can't hear me

But I only did what you wanted me to

Christ, I'd sell out the nation

For I have been saddled with the murder of you

I have been spattered with innocent blood

I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud

I have been spattered with innocent blood

I shall be dragged

Through the slime and the, slime and the, slime and the mud

I don't know how to love him

I don't know why he moves me

He's a man

He's just a man

He is not a king

He's just the same

As anyone I know

He scares me so

When he's cold and dead

Will he let me be?

Does he love, does he love me too?

Does he care for me?

My mind

It's in darkness

God

God, I'm sick

I've been used

And you knew all the time

God, God, I'll never know why you chose me

For your crime

Your foul, bloody crime

You have murdered me

Murdered me, murdered me

Murdered me, murdered me, murdered me, murdered me

Murdered

Poor old Judas

So long, Judas

So long, Judas

And so

The king is once again my guest

And why is this?

Was Herod unimpressed?

We turn to Rome

To sentence Nazareth

We have no law

To put a man to death

We need him crucified

It's all you have to do

We need him crucified It's all you have to do

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

You have been brought here

Manacled, beaten by your own people

Do you have the first idea why you deserve it?

Listen, King of the Jews Where is your kingdom?

Look at me, am I a Jew?

I have no kingdom

In this world I'm through

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

There may be a kingdom for me somewhere

If you only knew

Then you are a king

It's you that say I am

I look for truth and find that I get damned

Well, what is truth? Is truth unchanging law

We both have truths Are mine the same as yours?

Crucify him!

What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?

We have no king but Caesar

He's done no wrong No, not the slightest thing

We have no king but Caesar Crucify him!

Well this is new, respect for Caesar

Till now this has been noticeably lacking

Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?

You Jews produce Messiahs by the sackful

We need him crucified

It's all you have to do

We need him crucified

It's all you have to do

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Look at your Jesus Christ

I'll agree he's mad

Ought to be locked up

But that is not a reason to destroy him

He's a sad little man

Not a king or God

Not a thief, I need a crime

Crucify him!

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Behold the man, behold your shattered king

We have no king but Caesar

You hypocrites, you hate us more than him

We have no king but Caesar, crucify him

I see no reason, I find no evil

This man is harmless so why does he upset you?

He's just misguided, thinks he's important

But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Where are you from, Jesus?

What do you want, Jesus?

Tell me

You've got to be careful

You could be dead soon

Could well be

Why do you not speak

When I hold your life in my hands?

How can you stay quiet?

I don't believe you understand

You have nothing in your hands

Any power you have

Comes to you from far beyond

Everything is fixed and you can't change it

You're a fool, Jesus Christ

How can I help you?

Pilate, crucify him, crucify him

Remember Caesar, you have a duty

To keep the peace so crucify him

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

You'll be deported, crucify him

Remember Caesar, you have a duty

To keep the peace so crucify him

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

You'll be deported, crucify him

Remember Caesar, you have a duty

To keep the peace so crucify him

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

You'll be deported, crucify him

Don't let me stop

Your great self-destruction

Die if you want to

You misguided martyr

I wash my hands

Of your demolition

Die if you want to

You innocent puppet

Every time 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

Now why'd you choose such a backward time

And such a strange land?

If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation

Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong now

Don't you get me wrong

Get me wrong Don't you get me wrong

Only wanna know

Only wanna know now

Only wanna know

Only wanna know now I only wanna know

Jesus Christ

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Jesus Christ

Superstar

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Jesus Christ

Superstar

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top

Now who do you think besides yourself was the pick of the crop?

Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?

Could Mohammed move a mountain or was that just PR?

Did you mean to die like that?

Was that a mistake

Or did you know your messy death

Would be a record-breaker?

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong now

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong now

Only wanna know

Only wanna know now

Only wanna know

Only wanna know now I only wanna know

Father...

into your hands...

I commend my spirit!
