a house of prayer.

But you have made it

into a den of thieves.

Get out 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 thirty.

See my eyes

I can hardly see.

See me stand

I can hardly walk.

I believe

you can make me whole.

See his tongue

he can hardly talk.

See my skin

I'm a mass of blood.

Change my life

oh I know you can.

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 our eyes

we can hardly see.

See us stand

we can hardly walk

We believe

you can make us whole ah.

See the tongues

that can hardly talk ah.

See our skin

we're a mass of blood ah.

Change our lives

oh we know you can ah.

We believe

you can make us whole ah.

You're the hope

of the poor, poor man ah.

Will you touch

will you mend me Christ ah.

Won't you touch

will you heal me Christ ah.

Will you kiss

you can cure me Christ ah.

Won't you kiss

won't you pay me Christ ah.

See our eyes

we can hardly see ah.

See us stand

we can hardly walk ah.

We believe

you can make us whole ah.

See the tongues

that can hardly talk ah.

See our skin

we're a mass of blood ah.

Change our lives

oh we know you can ah.

We believe

you can make us well ah.

You're the hope

of the poor, poor man ah.

Will you touch

will you mend me Christ ah.

Won't you touch

will you heal me Christ ah.

Will you kiss

you can cure me Christ ah.

Won't you kiss

won't you pay me Christ ah.

See my eyes

we can hardly see ah.

See me stand, we can hardly walk ah.

There's too too many of you.

I believe you can make us whole ah.

Don't push me

See my tongue that can hardly talk ah.

Oh there's too little of me

See my skin

I'm a mass of blood ah.

See my legs, I can hardly stand ah.

Don't crowd me

We believe you can make us whole ah.

Don't crowd me

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

Don't crowd me

Will you touch

will you mend me Christ ah.

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.

Heal yourselves.

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 I think I shall

sleep well tonight.

Let the world

turn without me tonight.

If we try

we'll get by.

So 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 kind 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 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 am I the one.

Who sees 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 around him

Then we can't fail

I don't want

your blood money.

Oh 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

could do with the 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.

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.

Well done Judas

good old Judas.

Look at all my trials

and tribulations.

Sinking in a

gentle pool of wine.

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 you blank faces

my name will mean nothing

ten minutes after I'm dead.

One of you denies me

one of you betrays me.

not I.

who would?

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 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

for now I despise you.

You liar you Judas

You want 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.

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.
