Heaven on Their Minds
|
|
Judas: 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's 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 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 All your followers are blind Too much heaven on their minds It was beautiful but now it's sour Yes it's all gone sour |

What's the Buzz/Strange Thing Mystifying
|
|
I. What's the Buzz (Bethany, Friday Night) Apostles: What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening Jesus: 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 Apostles: What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening Jesus: I could give you facts and figures I could give you plans and forecasts Even tell you where I'm going - Apostles: When do we ride into Jerusalem Jesus: 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 then I Apostles: What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening Mary Magdalene: Let me try to cool down your face a bit Jesus: That feels nice, so nice Mary that is good While you prattled through your supper where and when and who and how She alone has tried to give me what I need right here and now Apostles: What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening II. Strange Thing Mystifying Judas: It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind Yes I can understand that she amuses But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair is 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 Jesus: 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 I'm amazed that a man like you can be so shallow thick and slow There is no man among you who knows or cares if I come or go All (save Judas): No you're wrong! You're very wrong! How can you say that! Jesus: Not one - not one of you! |

Mary Magdalene: Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you oh don't you know Everything's alright 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 Apostles' women: Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes Mary Magdalene: Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel Everything's alright 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 Apostles' women: Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes Judas: Woman your fine ointment - brand new and expensive Could have been saved for the poor Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe Three hundred silver pieces or more People who are hungry, people who are starving Matter more than your feet and hair Mary Magdalene: Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you oh don't you know Everything's alright 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 Apostles' women: Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes Jesus: 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 you'll be so sorry when I'm gone Mary Magdalene: Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel Everything's alright 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 All: Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes |

Amen! II. Poor Jerusalem Jesus: Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand Nor the Romans, nor the Jews Nor Judas, nor the twelve, 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 You only have to die |

Pilate's Dream
|
|
(Pontius Pilate's house, Monday) Pilate: I dreamed I met a Galilean a most amazing man He had that look you very rarely find The haunting hunted 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 They 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 |

Borrow cash on the finest terms Hurry now while stocks still last Jesus: 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 thirty, seems like forty Crowd: 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 Jesus: There's too many of you - don't push me There's too little of me - don't crowd me Heal yourselves! |

Mary Magdalene: 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've 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 loves 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 |

|
|
I. Damned for All Time (Tuesday) Judas: 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 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 I came because I had to I'm the one who saw Jesus can't control it like he did before And further more I know that Jesus thinks so too Jesus wouldn't mind that I was care 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?

Caiaphas: Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good Judas: I don't want your blood money! Annas: But you might as well take it - we think that you should Caiaphas: 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 fee nothing Fee nothing, fee nothing more Judas: On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him Far from the crowds in the Garden of Gethsemane Choir: Well done Judas Good old Judas |

The Last Supper
|
|
(Thursday night, the Last Supper) Apostles: 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 - Apostles: Not I! Who could? Impossible! 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're waiting Judas: If you knew why I do it... Jesus: I don't care why you do it! Judas: To think I admired you but for now I despise you Jesus: You liar - you Judas Judas: You want 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 wanna know - 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 die Judas: You said pathetic man - see where you've brought us to Our ideals die around us all because of you And now 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 A jaded jaded faded mandarin Jesus: Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting for you Judas: 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 - Apostles: 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: Will no-one stay awake with me? Peter? John? James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter? John? James? |

Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)
|
|
(In the Garden of Gethsemane) Jesus: 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 thirty 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 wanna know I'd wanna know my God I'd wanna see I'd wanna 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 anymore? I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord If I die what will be my reward? I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord 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 You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why Alright I'll die! Just watch me die! See how I die! Then I was inspired, now I'm sad and tired After all I've tried for three years seems like ninety 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 |

Tell me what's happening Hang on Lord we're gonna fight for you Jesus: 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 Crowd: 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 at all worth while? Come with us to see Caiaphas You'll just love the High Priest's house You'll just love seeing Caiaphas You'll just die in the High Priest's 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 real Tell me Christ how you feel tonight Do you plan to put up the fight?

Jesus: That's what you say - you say that I am Annas: There you have it gentlemen - what more evidence still we need Judas thank you for the victim - stay a while and you'll see it bleed Crowd: Now we have him!

Herod: Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face You've been getting quite a name all around the place Healing cripples raising from the dead And now I understand you're God, 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 and I'll know it's all true C'mon king of the Jews Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round here You are all we talk about the wonder of the year Oh what a pity if it's all a lie Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that you're no fool walk across my swimming pool If you do that for me then I'll let you go free C'mon king of the Jews I only ask things I'd ask any superstar What is it that you have got that puts you where you are I am waiting yes I'm a captive man 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? Why do you take so long? C'mon 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 Jews! Get out of my life! |

Judas' Death

Judas: 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... save him... if I could Priest 3: 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 Caiaphas: What you have done will be the saving of Israel 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 Judas: 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 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's 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 me too? Does he care for me? My mind is in darkness now - my God I am sick I've been used And you knew all the time God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime Your foul bloody crime You have murdered me! You have murdered me! Choir: Poor old Judas So long Judas |

Trial Before Pilate including The 39 Lashes
|
|
Pilate: And so the king is once again my guest And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed? Caiaphas: 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 Pilate: Talk to me Jesus Christ You've 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? Jesus: I have got no kingdom in this world - I'm through, through, through Mob: Talk to me Jesus Christ Jesus: There may be a kingdom for me somewhere - if I only knew Pilate: Then you're a king? Jesus: That's that you say I am Pilate: I look for truth and find that I get damned Jesus: But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths - are mine the same as yours? Mob: Crucify him! Pilate: What do you mean? You'd crucify your king? Mob: We have no king but Caesar! Pilate: He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing Mob: We have no king but Caesar! Crucify him! Pilate: 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 Mob: Crucify him! THIRTY-NINE LASHES Pilate: 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 have your life in my hands? How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand Jesus: 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 Pilate: You're a fool Jesus Christ - how can I help you? Mob: Pilate! 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! Pilate: 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! |

Voice of Judas: Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of your hand You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land? If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication Don't you get me wrong - I only wanna know Choir: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar Do you think you're what they say you are? Voice of Judas: Tell me what you think about your friends at the top Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop Buddha was he where it's all? Is he where you are? Could Muhammed 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 - I only wanna know Choir: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar Do you think you're what they say you are? |
