---

Close your eyes

close your eyes and relax

think of nothing tonight.

Close your eyes close your eyes

and relax think of nothing tonight.

Close your eyes close your eyes

and relax think of nothing tonight.

Everything's alright yes

everything's alright yes.

Close your eyes close your eyes

and relax think of nothing tonight.

Good Caiaphas

the council waits for you.

The pharisees

and priests are here for you.

Ah, 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

Tell us 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.

Infantile sermons

the multitude drools.

We dare not leave him

to his own devices.

His half-witted fans

will get out of control.

But 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

'cause of one

'cause of one man.

What then to do about

this Jesus mania.

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

sana sana ho sana

heysanna hosanna.

Hey J.C., J.C.

won't you fight for me.

Sanna hosanna

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 hosanna

heysanna hosanna.

Hey J.C., J.C.

you're alright by me.

Sanna hosanna

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 hosanna

heysanna hosanna.

Hey J.C., J.C.

won't you fight for me.

Sanna hosanna

hey superstar.

Sing me a song

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 ohh

sanna sanna hosanna

heysanna hosanna.

Hey J.C., J.C.

won't you die for me.

Sanna hosanna

hey superstar.

Super star.

Christ you know I love you

did you see I waved.

I believe in you and God

so tell me that I'm saved.

Christ you know I love you

did you see I waved.

I believe in you and God

so tell me that I'm saved.

Jesus I am with you

touch me, touch me Jesus.

Jesus I am on your side

kiss me, kiss me Jesus.

Christ what more do you need

to convince you.

That you've made it

and you're easily as strong.

As the filth from Rome

who rape our country.

And who've terrorised

our people for so long.

Christ you know I love you

Did you see I waved

they love you Jesus.

I believe in you and God

so tell me that I'm saved

ooh yeah.

Christ you know I love you

did you see I waved

come on.

I believe in you and God

so tell me that I'm saved

Jesus I am with you

touch me, touch me Jesus.

Jesus I am on your side

kiss me, kiss me Jesus.

There must be over 50,000

screaming love and more

for you.

And every one of 50,000 would do

whatever you asked them to.

But keep them yelling

their devotion

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

for ever and ever and ever.

You'll get the power and the glory.

You'll get the power and the glory

forever and ever and ever.

You'll get the power and the glory

forever and ever and ever.

You'll get the glory!!

For you'll get the power and the glory.

And the power

forever and ever and ever.

Forever amen.

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 live a lie

but you live a lie.

While you live

your troubles are many

poor Jerusalem.

To conquer death

you only have to die

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, 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.

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.

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.

Name your price

I got everything.

Come and buy

it's all going fast.

Borrow cash

on the finest terms.

Hurry now

while stocks still last.

Roll on up Jerusalem

here it isn't us and them.

While our temples still survive

we at least are still alive.

Come all classes, come all creeds

I can fix your wildest needs.

Name your pleasure, I will sell

I got heaven I got hell.

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.

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.

Roll on up

for my price is down.

Come on in

for the best in town.

My temple should be
