Thursday night. The Last Supper.]
(Apostles)
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle 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
(Jesus)
The end ...
+ Bbmmaj7
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
-9
If you would remember me when you eat and drink ...
I must be mad thinking I'll be remembe'ed - yes
I must be out of my head !
Look at your blank faces ! My name will mean nothing
Ten minutes after I'm dead !
One of you denies me !
One of you betrays me -
Apostles:
( Not I ! Who would ! Impossible ! )
Jesus: Peter will deny me in just a few hours
Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see
One of here dining, one of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me -
Judas: Cut out the dramatics ! You know very well who -
Jesus: Why don't you go do it ?
Judas: You want me to do it !
Jesus: Hurry they are waiting
Judas: If you knew why I do it ...
Jesus: I don't care why you do it
Judas: To think I admired you
Jesus: You liar - you Judas
Judas: You want me to do it !
And ruined your ambition ?
Christ you deserve it !
Jesus: Hurry you fool, hurry and go,
GO !

Judas:
Our ideals die around us all because of you
And now the saddest cut of all -
Someone has to turn you in
Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal
A jaded mandarin
A jaded mandarin
A jaded jaded ... faded mandarin
Jesus: Get out! They're waiting! Get out!
They're waiting for you
Judas:
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned -

Jesus: Will no-one stay awake with me ?
Will none of you wait with me ?
Peter ? John ? James ?
