lyrics

I remember Jesus
I remember him so well
Smoking cigarettes outside the Albany Hotel
Back there in the seventies
When we had something left that we could sell
I remember Jesus
I remember him so well
 
I remember you
Lying on my unmade bed
All those words and perfect visions
Just rolling through your head
And in the morning, we’d forgotten
Nearly each and every word you said
I remember you babe
Still got the letters that you sent
 
Jesus loved his Magdalene
He loved her from the start
He loved her with the passion
And the sacred bleeding heart
And the men that would stone her
They nailed him up as well
They’re out there selling bones for innocence and
Free tickets, back from hell
 
I remember Jesus with a bottle and a grin
Dancing with the Buddha, forgiving minor sins
He always had a meal to share but never asked me where I’d been
He’d stand beside that open door and say boy come in
 
I remember yesterday like everything was fine
I remember endless summers when the sun would always shine
I remember Jesus all drunk on cheap red wine
He said he knew his future but he wouldn’t tell me mine
 
Jesus loved his Magdalene
He loved her from the start
He loved her with the passion
And the sacred bleeding heart
And the men that would stone her
They nailed him up as well
They’re out there selling bones for innocence and
Free tickets, back from hell
 
They say he used to walk upon the water in the old days
They say he knew all the old time moves
I knew a man who lived up on the border
A simple man with nothing much to prove
 
Jesus loved his Magdalene
He loved her from the start
He loved her with the passion
And the sacred bleeding heart
And the men that would stone her
They nailed him up as well
They’re out there selling bones for innocence and
Free tickets, back from hell
