Judas's Death

Judas's Death - Choir/Victor Brox/Murray Head

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 this suffering

If I could

Don't believe our good

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

Prettly 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 through

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's not a king

He's 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've been used

And you knew all the time

God I'll never ever 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

Poor old Judas

So long Judas

Poor old Judas

So long Judas

Poor old Judas

So long Judas

Poor old Judas

So long Judas
