Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) Musical Edit

A den of thieves

A house of prayer

A jaded mandarin, a jaded mandarin

A most amazing man

A rabble rousing mission

Aaaaaa...

After all

After all I've tried for three years

All I ask is that you listen to me

All right

All that I knew

All that you've said has come true with a vengeance

All those imbeciles will see

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle

An amazing thing

And all because of you

And all the good you've done

And break me

And do the things you ask of me

And every one of 50,000

And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too

And how

And I know who everybody's gonna blame

And I wasn't where he was tonight

And I'd save him if I could

And it's cool and the ointment's sweet

And it's cool and the ointment's sweet

And leaving me the blame

And like a jaded, a faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin

And not only that You've been paid for your efforts

And quite a problem here

And relax, think of nothing tonight

And remember

And so

And stroke your hair

And such a strange land?

And that's not all I see

And the whole town's on its feet

And then I heard them mentioning my name

And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

And tired

And we want you to sleep well tonight

And while he starts a major war

And who terrorised our people for so long

Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise

As anyone I know

As if he hadn't heard

As the filth from Rome who **** our country

As when we started

Because, because, because of one man

Before I change my mind?

Before it gets too frightening

Before it gets too frightening

Bleed me, beat me, kill me

Blood and destruction because of one man

Brand new and expensive

Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?

But add a touch of hate at Rome

But are you kingKing of the ****?

But don't rely on subtlety

But every word you say today

But I saw you too, he looked just like you

But if I die

But it shouldn't be like this

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour

But not for me alone

But that is not a reason to destroy him

But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him

But to let her kiss you

But you close your eyes

But you hold every card

But you might as well take it

By friends

By leaps every minute He's top of the poll

Caiaphas, let him be

Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise

Calm you and anoint you

Calm you and anoint you

Can waste his time

Can you show me now

Cannot let my hands be tied

Change my water into wine

Choose any charity, give to the poor

Christ, I know you can't hear me

Christ, I'd sell out the nation

Christ, what more do you need to convince you?

Christ, you deserve it

Christ, you know I love you

Christ, you know I love you

Christ, you know I love you

Christ, you know I love you

Close your eyes Everything's all right, yeah

Close your eyes, close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax, think of nothing

Cluttering up my hallway?

Come on in for the best in town

Come on in, Jerusalem

Come on, God, this is not like you

Come on, Jesus

Come on, Jesus

Come on, King of the ****

Come on, King of the ****

Come on, King of the ****

Come on, King of the ****

Come on, listen to me

Come with us to see Caiaphas

Comes to you from far beyond

Could be my body

Could Mohammed move a mountain or was that just PR?

Could we start again, please?

Could we start again, please? Could we start again, please?

Could we start again?

Could we start again?

Could well be

Could you ask as much

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify him, crucify him

Crucify him!

Crucify him!

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crying for this man

Cut out the dramatics

Cut the confessions, forget the excuses

Cut the protesting

Damned

Damned for all time

Did you see I waved?

Did you see I waved?

Did you see I waved?

Did you see I waved?

Did you see I waved?

Did you think you would get much higher?

Die if you want to

Die if you want to

Do you feel that you had the breaks?

Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

Do you have the first idea why you deserve it?

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you think that you may retire?

Do you think they'll stand around

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Does he care for me?

Don't believe

Don't crowd me

Don't let me stop

Don't push me Will you mend me, Christ?

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong

Don't you get me wrong now

Don't you get me wrong now

Don't you know everything's all right

Don't you know everything's all right

Don't you know that it's all over

Don't you see that we could fall?

Don't you see?

Don't you think it's rather funny

Don't you think that they deserve

Dying to see you

Dying to see you

Eight

Eleven

Even tell you where I'm going

Everything is fixed and you can't change it

Everything's all right

Everything's all right Yes, everything's all right

Everything's all right, yeah

Everything's all right, yeah?

Far from the crowds

Far too keen on where and how

Father, forgive them

Father...

Feed my household with this bread

Feel it burn me

Fifteen

Five

Fools, you have no perception

For all time

For all you care

For all you care

For I don't want to taste its poison

For I have been saddled with the murder of you

For the fire in your head and feet

For the fire in your head and feet

For we are getting much too loud

For you are blessed

For your crime

For your wanting me to die

Forever and ever and ever You'll get the glory

Forever, amen

Forget the excuses

Four

Fourteen

From any other man?

Get out

Get out of here, you

Get out of here, you, you

Get out, get out?

Get out, you King of the

Get out, you King of the ****

Get so out of hand

Go, go

God

God, God, I'll never know why you chose me

God, I'm sick

Hang on Lord, we're gonna fight for you

Hang on Lord, we're gonna fight for you

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

Have you forgotten how put down we are?

Have your men proved it's all worthwhile?

He had that look you very rarely find

He is dangerous

He is dangerous

He is dangerous

He is dangerous

He is not a king

He never said a word

He scares me so

He scares me so

He won't listen to me

He'd have caused nobody harm

He's a man

He's a man

He's a sad little man

He's done no wrong No, not the slightest thing

He's got nothing to say

He's just a man

He's just one more

Here you breathe, Jerusalem

Hey hosanna heysanna

Hey JC, JC

Hey JC, JC

Hey JC, JC

Hey JC, JC

Hey JC, JC

Hey, aren't you scared of me, Christ?

Hey, cool it, man.

His half witted fans will get out of control

Hosanna heysanna

Hosanna heysanna

Hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar

How can I help you?

How can someone in your state

How can we stop him? His glamour increases

How can you say that? How can you say that?

How can you say that? How can you say that?

How do we deal with the carpenter king?

How it all began

How to move him

Hurry up and tell me

Hurry, they are waiting

Hurry, you fool, hurry and go

I am frightened by the crowd

I am law and order

I am really quite surprised

I asked again

I asked him

I believe in you and God

I believe in you and God

I believe in you and God

I believe in you and God

I believe in you and God

I believe in you and God

I believe you can make me well

I believe you can make me well

I believe you can make me well

I believe you can make me whole

I believe you can make me whole

I believe you can make me whole

I can hardly step aside

I can see the answers

I commend my spirit!

I couldn't cope

I didn't start it

I don't believe he knows I acted for our good

I don't care why you do it

I don't know him

I don't know how to love him

I don't know how to take this

I don't need your blood money

I don't understand why you're filled with remorse

I don't want to know

I don't want your blood money

I dreamed

I had no thought at all about my own reward

I had to do it

I have changed

I have no thought at all about my own reward

I look for truth and find that I get damned

I love him so?

I met a Galilean

I must be mad

I never thought I'd come to this

I never thought I'd come to this

I only ask what I'd ask any superstar

I only wanna know

I only wanna know

I only wanna know

I only wanna know

I only wanna know

I really didn't come here of my own accord

I really didn't come here of my own accord

I remember when this whole thing began

I see bad things arising

I see blood and destruction

I see no reason, I find no evil

I seem like someone else

I shall be dragged

I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud

I should be in this position?

I tell you I was never ever with him

I think I've seen you somewhere

I think we're going wrong

I think you've made your point now

I want him so

I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you

I will drink your cup of poison

I wonder how he knew?

I wouldn't want to know

I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

I'd save him all this suffering if I could

I'd turn my head

I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God

I'll die

I'm amazed that men like you

I'm dying to be shown

I'm not as sure

I'm the one

I've been changed

I've been living to see you

I've been used

I've been very hopeful so far

I've been your right hand man all along

I've got heaven, I've got hell

I've got things you won't believe

I've got things you won't believe

I've tried for three years

If every tongue was still

If I die what will be my reward?

If I die what will be my reward?

If they see we've lost our nerve

If we are to last at all

If we go too far

If we try, we'll get by

If you knew

If you knew the path we're riding

If you knew why I do it

If you only knew

If you strip away

If you would remember me

If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation

If you'd had it planned

If you'd had it planned

If your slate is clean then you can throw stones

If your slate is not

In these past few days

In this world I'm through

In very many ways

Into your hands...

Is just a little harder

Is much too loud

Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent

It is! It is!

It seems to me a strange thing

It was beautiful but now it's sour

It was nice but now it's gone

It's all you have to do

It's all you have to do

It's all you have to do

It's gone to my head

It's in darkness

It's taken me some time to work out what to do

It's what he told us you would do

It's you that say I am

Knew that I would make it if I tried

Knew that I would make it if I tried

Knew that I would make it if I tried If I tried

Lay your bets on this bird of mine

Leave her, leave her, let her be now

Leave her, leave her, she's with me now

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try, let me try to cool down your face

Let the world turn without you tonight

Let them hate me

Let us know what you're gonna do

Like a common criminal

Like a wounded animal

Listen

Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?

Listen, Jesus, I don't like what I see

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give

Listen, King of the **** Where is your kingdom?

Little left to do

Live in me, Jerusalem

Look at all my trials and tribulations

Look at me, am I a Jew?

Look at the good things you've got

Look at your blank faces

Look at your Jesus Christ

Look Caiaphas

Manacled, beaten by your own people

Mary, that is good

Matter any more?

Miracle wonder man, hero of fools

Moaning at the crowd?

Murdered

Murdered me, murdered me

Murdered me, murdered me, murdered me, murdered me

Must die, must die, this Jesus must die

Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must

Must you betray me

My admiration for you hasn't died

My God

My God, I saw him, he looked three quarters dead

My God, why have you forgotten me?

My mind

My name will mean nothing

My poor Jerusalem

My temple should be

Myrrh for your hot forehead

Myrrh for your hot forehead

Mystifying

Nail me to their tree

Nail me to your cross

Name your pleasure, I will sell...?

Name your price, I've got everything

Nazareth, your famous son

Never!

Nine

No lover's fool

No one alarm

No one's been disappointed yet

No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans

No talk of God then, we called you a man

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

No! Not I!

Nor doomed Jerusalem itself

Nor Judas, nor the 12

Nor the 50,000

Nor the ****

Nor the priests, nor the scribes

Not a king at all

Not a king or God

Not a thief, I need a crime

Nothing can be done

Now

Now I understand you're God...?

Now I understand you're God...?

Now I'm sad

Now if I help you, it matters that you see

Now we have him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now we have him, now we've got him

Now why'd you choose such a backward time

Of Gethsemane

Of your demolition

Of your omnipresent brain

Oh ho ho I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan

Oh, so this is Jesus Christ

Ohhhh?

On Thursday night

On women of her kind...?

One

One of my 12 chosen

One of you betrays me...?

One of you denies me

One of you here dining

One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool

Only wanna know

Only wanna know

Only wanna know

Only wanna know now

Only wanna know now

Only wanna know now I only wanna know

Only wanna know now I only wanna know

Or could we start again, please?

Or did you know your messy death

Or else they'd go for me

Our elimination because of one man

Our good

Our ideals die around us

People who are starving

Peter will deny me

Peter, don't you know what you have said?

Peter?

Peter?

Pilate, crucify him, crucify him

Pilate?

Please explain to me

Please remember that I want us to live

Poor Jerusalem

Poor old Judas

Prove to me that you're no fool

Put away your sword

Put yourself in my place

Quick Caiaphas Go call the Roman guard

Remember Caesar, you have a duty

Remember Caesar, you have a duty

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted

Screaming love and more for you Love, love, love

See how

See how I'll die

See me stand, I can hardly walk

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See my eyes, I can hardly see

See my legs, I can hardly stand

See my legs, I can hardly stand

See my legs, I can hardly stand

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

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

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See my tongue, I can hardly talk

See the saga through

Seems like 30

Seems like 30

Seems like 90

She alone is trying to give me

Should have been saved for the poor

Should have stayed a great unknown

Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?

Should I speak of love?

Show me just a little

Since you come from Galilee

Sing out for yourselves

Six

Sixteen

Sleep and I shall soothe you

Sleep and I shall soothe you

So calm, so cool

So come on, come on

So could we start again, please?

So could we start again, please?

So if you are the Christ

So if you are the Christ

So like John before him, this Jesus must die

So like John before him, this Jesus must die

So long, Judas

So long, Judas?

So tell me that I'm saved

So tell me that I'm saved

So tell me that I'm saved

So tell me that I'm saved

So they'll still talk about us when we've died

So they'll still talk about us when we've died?

Someone Christ, King of the ****

Someone Christ, King of the ****

Someone had to turn you in

Stay a while, you'll see it bleed

Stick to fishing from now on?

Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

Sunday, here we go again

Sunday, here we go again

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar?

Superstar?

Tables, chairs and oaken chests

Take him away

Take him to Pilate, take him to Pilate

Take him to Pilate, take him to Pilate?

Take me now

Take this cup away from me

Take your pick of the finest wine

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

Tell me what's a happening

Tell me what's happening

Tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me?

Tell the mob who sing your song

Tell the rabble to be quiet

Ten

Ten minutes after I'm dead

Than I ever was before?

Than John was when John did his baptism thing?

That a man like you

That I think we must abort

That I would not be killed in vain?

That is not an answer

That they are fools and they are wrong

That you are not just any man

That you made it and you're easily as strong

That's hardly in your line

That's strange for I am sure I saw you with him

That's what you say, you say that I am

The council waits for you

The difference frightens me

The difference is they call him king

The end

The end

The haunting, haunted kind

The king is once again my guest

The mob turned against him

The myth from the man

The Pharisees and priests are here for you

The quick, the dead

The rocks and stones themselves

The saddest cut of all

The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high

Then I saw

Then I was inspired

Then I was inspired

Then leave her alone?

Then say so to the council

Then we are decided?

Then when we retire

Then when we retire

Then you are a king

Then you need not come to me

Then you'll feel everything's all right

Then you'll feel everything's all right

There he is, seeHurry, come on.

There is not a man among you

There is nothing you can't buy

There must be over 50,000 50,000

There will be poor always

There you have it, gentlemen

There's too little of me

There's too many of you I believe you can make me well

These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me

They are a curse

They don't know what they're doing

They fell on him and then disappeared again

They only need a small excuse

They seemed to hate this man

They should disperse?

They think they've found the new Messiah

They're waiting, oh, they're waiting for you

They've got what they want

Think about today instead

Think of nothing tonight

Think while you still have me

Thinking I'll be remembered

This bread

This common crowd

This is my blood you drink

This is my body you eat

This isn't blood money, it's a...

This man is harmless so why does he upset you?

This silent king

This was unexpected
