1. Overture.
2. Heaven On Their Minds.
Judas:
My mind is clearer now - at last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be
If you strip away the myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
You really do believe this talk of God is true
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more than the things you say
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember - I've been your right hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then - we called you a man
And believe me - my admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood - he'd have made good
Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody's harm - no-one alarm
Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied - have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Yes it's all gone sourback to top
3. What's The Buzz.
(Bethany, Friday Night)
Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Jesus:
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future, don't you try to think ahead
Save tomorrow for tomorrow, think about today instead
Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Jesus:
I could give you facts and figures
I could give you plans and forecasts
Even tell you where I'm going -
Apostles:
When do we ride into Jerusalem
Jesus:
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting times
and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding you'd
understand it less then I
Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Mary Magdalene:
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Jesus:
That feels nice, so nice
Mary that is good
While you prattled through your supper where and when and who
and how
She alone has tried to give me what I need right here and now
Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happeningback to top
4. Strange Thing Mystifying.
Judas:
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind
Yes I can understand that she amuses
But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair is hardly
in your line
It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
They only need a small excuse to put us all away
Jesus:
Who are you to criticise her? Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now
If your slate is clean - then you can throw stones
If your slate is not then leave her alone
I'm amazed that a man like you can be so shallow thick
and slow
There is no man among you who knows or cares if I come or go
All (save Judas):
No you're wrong! You're very wrong!
How can you say that!
Jesus:
Not one - not one of you!back to top
5. Everything's Alright.
Mary Magdalene:
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
Apostles' women:
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
Mary Magdalene:
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight
Apostles' women:
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
Judas:
Woman your fine oinment - brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair
Mary Magdalene:
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
Apostles' women:
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
Jesus:
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always pathetically struggling -
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! While you still have me
Move! While you still see me
You'll be lost you'll be so sorry when I'm gone
Mary Magdalene:
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight
All:
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yesback to top

Miracle wonderman - hero of fools?
Priest 3:
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans
Caiaphas:
One thing I'll say for him - Jesus is cool
Annas:
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half - witted fans will get out of control
Priest 3:
But how can we stop him? His glamour increases
By leaps every minute - he's top of the poll
Caiaphas:
I see bad things arising - the crowd crown him king
Which the Romans would ban
I see blood and destruction, our elimination
because of one man
Blood and destruction because of one man
All:
Because, because, because of one man
Caiaphas:
Our elimination because of one man
All:
Because, because, because of one
'Cause of one, 'cause of one man
Priest 3:
What then to do about this Jesusmania?
Annas:
How do we deal with the carpenter king?
Priest 3:
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his Baptism thing?
Caiaphas:
Fools! You have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frightenly high!
We must crush him completely
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die
All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
Caiaphas:
So like John before him this Jesus must die
All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must,
Jesus must, Jesus must die.

They are a curse, they should disperse
Crowd:
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey JC, JC you're alrigt by me

Jesus:
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?

The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing

As the fifth from Rome who rape our country
And who've terrorized our people for so long?

I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Christ you know I love you did you see I waved
I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Jesus I am with you touch me touch me Jesus
Jesus I am on your side kiss me kiss me Jesus
Simon Zealotes:
There must be over fifty thousand
Screaming love and more for you
And everyone of fifty thousand
Would do whatever you ask him to
Keep them yelling their devotion
But add a touch of hate at Rome
You will rise to a greater power
We will win ourselves a home
You'll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
Amen! Amen!back to top
3. Poor Jerusalem.
Jesus:
Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews
Nor Judas, nor the twelve, nor the Priests, nor the scribes
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understand what power is
Understand what glory is
Understand at all... understand at all
If you knew all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem
You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes
But you close your eyes
While you live your troubles are many, poor Jerusalem
To conquer death you only have to die
You only have to dieback to top
4. Pilate's Dream.
(Pontius Pilate's house, Monday)
Pilate:
I dreamt I met a Galilean a most amazing man
He had that look you very rarely find
The haunting hunted kind
I asked him to say what had happened how it all began
I asked again - he never said a word
As if he hadn't heard
And next the room was full of wild and angry men
They seemed to hate this man - they fell on him and then
They disappeared
Then I saw thousands of millions crying for this man
And then I heard them mentioning my name
And leaving me the blameback to top
5. The Temple.
(The temple)
Moneylenders and merchants:
Roll on up - for my price is down
Come on it - for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Roll on up - for my price is down
Come on it - for the best in town
Take your pick of my finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Name your price I got everything
Come and buy it's all going fast.
Borrow cash on the finest terms
Hurry now while stocks still last
Jesus:
My temple should be a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Get out! Get out!
My time is almost through
Little left to do
After all I've tried for three years
Seems like thirty, seems like thirty
Crowd:
See my eyes I can hardly see
See me stand I can hardly walk
I believe you can make me whole
See my tongue I can hardly talk
See my skin I'm a mass of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand
I believe you can make me well
See my purse I'm a poor poor man
Will you touch will you mend me Christ
Won't you touch will you heal me Christ
Will you kiss you can cure me Christ
Won't you kiss won't you pay me Christ
Jesus:
There's too many of you - don't push me
There's too little of me - don't crowd me
Heal yourselves!back to top

7. I Don't Know How To Love Him.
Mary Magdalene:
I don't know how to love him
What to do how to move him
I've been changed yes really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man he's just a man
And I've had so many men before in very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm so cool, no lover's fool running every show
He scares me so
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about
Yet if he said he loves me
I'd be lost I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away, I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him soback to top
8. Damned For All Time.
(Tuesday)
Judas:
Now if I help you it matters that you see
These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what to do
I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time
I came because I had to I'm the one who saw
Jesus can't control it like he did before
And further more I know that Jesus thinks so too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was care with you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time
Annas you're a friend a wordly man and wise
Caiaphas my friend I know you symphathise
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones?
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned
For all time
Annas:
Cut the protesting forget the excuses
We want information get up off the floor
Caiaphas:
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements - we know the law
Annas:
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded
Caiaphas:
We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
Annas:
With no crowd around him
Caiaphas:
Then we can't failback to top
9. Blood Money.
Judas:
I don't need your blood money!
Caiaphas:
Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good
Judas:
I don't want your blood money!
Annas:
But you might as well take it - we think that you should
Caiaphas:
Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity - give to the poor
We've noted your motives - we've noted your feelings
This isn't blood money - it's a fee nothing
Fee nothing, fee nothing more
Judas:
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds in the Garden of Gethsemane
Choir:
Well done Judas

1. The Last Supper.
(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 could? 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're waiting
Judas:
If you knew why I do it...
Jesus:
I don't care why you do it!
Judas:
To think I admired you but for now I despise you
Jesus:
You liar - you Judas
Judas:
You want 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 wanna know - 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 die
Judas:
You said pathetic man - see where you've brought us to
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:
Every time 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 -
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

Peter? John? James?
Will none of you wait with me?

2. Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say).
(In the Garden of Gethsemane)
Jesus:
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me for I don't want to taste
its poison
Feel it burn me, I have changed, I'm not as sure as
when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen surely I've exceeded espectations tried for three years
Seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter anymore?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started - I didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me beat me kill me take me now -

Old man:
But I saw you too - it looked just like you

You look so small - not a king at all
We all know that you are news - but are you king
King of the Jews?
Jesus:
That's what you say
Pilate:
What do you mean by that? That is not an answer
You're deep in trouble friend -
Someone Christ - king of the Jews
How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate?
An amazing thing - this silent king
Since you come from Galilee then you need not come to me

Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples raising from the dead
And now I understand you're God
And least that's what you've said
So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine - change my water into wine
That's all you need do and I'll know it's all true
C'mon king of the Jews
Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
You are all we talk about the wonder of the year
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool walk across
my swimming pool
If you do that for me then I'll let you go free
C'mon king of the Jews
I only ask things I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are
I am waiting yes I'm a captive man
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread - you can do it
on your head
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
C'mon king of the Jews
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr Wonderful Christ!
You're joker you're not the Lord - you are nothing but a fraud
Take him away - he's got nothing to say!
Get out you king of the Jews! Get out of My Life!

Judas:
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
Priest 3:
Cut the confessions forget the excuses
I don't understand why you feel with remorse
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse
Caiaphas:
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
Judas:
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 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 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!

You've been brought here - manacled, beaten
By your own people - do you have the first idea

Jesus:
There may be a kingdom for me somewhere - if I only knew
Pilate:
Then you're a king?
Jesus:
That's that you say I am
Pilate:
I look for truth and find that I get damned
Jesus:
But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths - are mine the same as yours?
Mob:
Crucify him!
Pilate:
What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?
Mob:
We have no king but Caesar!
Pilate:
He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing
Mob:
We have no king but Caesar! Crusify him!
Pilate:
I see no reason - I find no evil
This man is harmless so why does he upset you?
He's just misguided - thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him
Mob:
Crucify him!
THIRTY-NINE LASHES
Pilate:
Where are you from Jesus? What do you want Jesus? Tell me
You've got to be careful - you could be dead soon -
could well be
Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands?
How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand
Jesus:
You have nothing in your hands
Any power you have comes to you from far beyond
Everything is fixed and you can't change it
Pilate:
You're a fool Jesus Christ - how can I help you?
Mob:
Pilate! Crucify him!
Remember Caesar - you have a duty
To keep the peace so crucify him!
Remember Caesar - you'll be demoted, you'll be deported
Crucify him!
Pilate:
Don't let me stop your great selfdestruction
Die if you want to you misguided martyr
I wash my hands of your demolition
Die if you want to you innocent puppet!back to top
3. Superstar.
Voice of Judas:
Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of your hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong - I only wanna know
Choir:
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Voice of Judas:
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop
Buddah was he where it's all? Is he where you are?
Could Mahomet move a mountain or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?
Don't you get me wrong - I only wanna know
Choir:
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

4. The Crucifixion.
(The crusifixion)
Jesus:
God forgive them - they don't know what they're doing
Who is my mother? Where is my mother?
My God My God why have you forgotten me?
I'm thirsty
It is finished
Father into your hands I comment my spiritback to top
