That's all you need do

and I'll know it's all true

Jesus you just won't believe

the hit you've made

'round here.

you're all we ever talk about.

you're the wonder of the year.

Oh what a pity

if it is all a lie.

Still I'm sure

that you can rock

the cynics if you try.

So 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

and I'll let you go free.

come on you king of the jews.

hello, Jerusalem.

I am your king!

I only ask what I'd ask of any

superstar.

What is it that you have got

that puts you where you are.

Oh, 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

the great Jesus Christ.

Feed my household with this bread

you could do it on your head.

Or has something gone wrong

why do you take so long

come on you king of the jews.

hey... aren't... you

scared of me Christ

mister wonderful Christ.

You're a joke

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've been very hopeful so far

now for the first time

I think we're going wrong.

Hurry up and tell me

this is all a dream.

Or 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 your message home.

Before it gets too frightening

we ought to call a halt.

Oh, could we

start again please.

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.

I think you've made

your point now.

You've even gone a bit too far

to get your message home.

Before it gets too frightening

we ought to call a halt.

So could we start again please.

So could we start again please.

So could start again please.

So 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 the

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 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.

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

though 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 is 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 is in darkness now

my God I am sick.

I... I have been used!

and you knew all the time.

God, I'll never know why you

chose me for your crime.

your foul bloody crime.

You have murdered me

you have murdered me.

Murdered me

murdered me

murdered me.

Murdered me!

Murdered me, murdered me.

Murdered me!

Murdered me, murdered me!

Murdered me!

Poor old Judas

so long Judas.

Poor old 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 got no kingdom

in this world

I'm through, through, through.

Talk to me Jesus Christ

There may be

a kingdom for me somewhere

if I only knew.

Then you're a king

It's you that say I am

I look for truth

and find that I get damned.

But what is truth

not easy to define.

We both have truths

are yours the same as mine.

Crucify him

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

like a 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.

kill him he says he's god

he's a blasphemer.

He'll conquer you and us

and even caesar.

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 find no reason

I see 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

could well be.

Why do you not speak

when I have your life
