The Last Supper Lyrics

[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 . . .

 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

 If you would remember me when you eat and drink . . .

 I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - 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 you 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

 For now I despise you 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 You liar - you Judas 

 

 (Judas) 

 

 You wanted me to do it!

 What if I just stayed here

 And ruined your ambition?

 Christ you deserve it! 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Hurry you fool, hurry and go,

 Save me your speeches

 I don't want to know - Go! Go! 

 

 (Apostles) 

 

 Look at all my trials and tribulations

 Sinking in a gentle pool of wine

 What's that in the bread it's gone to my head

 Till this morning is this evening 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 all talk about us when we've died 

 

 (Judas) 

 

 You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to

 Our ideals die around us and all because of you

 But 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

 Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting!

 Oh! They're waiting for you! 

 

 (Judas) 

 

 Everytime I look at you I don't understand

 Why you let the things you did get so out of hand

 You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned -

 Ah --- ah 

 

 (Apostles) 

 

 Look at all my trials and tribulations

 Sinking in a gentle pool of wine

 What's that in the bread it's gone to my head

 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 (If I tried)

 Then when we retire we can write the gospels

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

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Will no-one stay awake with me?

 Peter? John? James?

 Will none of you wait with me?

 Peter? John? James?
