I HAVE FORGIVEN JESUS
(Morrissey/Whyte)
I was a good kid
I wouldn’t do you no harm
I was a nice kid
with a nice paper-round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
with God’s help I know
I’ll always be near to you
but Jesus hurt me
when he deserted me
but I have forgiven Jesus
for all the desire
he placed in me when there’s nothing I can do
with this desire
I was good kid
through hail and snow I’d go
just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
do you understand?
do you understand?
But Jesus hurt me
when he deserted me, but
I have forgiven Jesus
for all of the love
he placed in me
when there’s no one I can turn to with this love
Monday - humiliation
Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension
Thursday - is pathetic
By Friday - life has killed me
By Friday - life has killed me
oh pretty one
oh pretty one
Why did you give me
so much desire?
when there is nowhere I can go
to offload this desire?
And why did you give me so much love
in a loveless world
when there is no one I can turn to
to unlock all this love
And why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus – do you hate me?
why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
do you hate me? do you hate me?
do you hate me? do you hate me?
