Jesus Said Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

Jesus said to mary: lord the things we do for love 

Well do you think I seem selfconcious, 

Its only you I'm thinking of. 

I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry. 

Now I'm weeping with a vengeance 

Since your voice came down the line. 

And I move up from the country, 

Oh I never could have stayed. 

I just dipped my hand in the water 

And got carried away. 

Oh would you put me down 

Just for being around 

At the wrong time all day 

Or would you leave while I'm sleeping 

Out through the fire escape 

They tell me swans do fly 

Across the perfect sky 

And it's the purest sky tonight 

So you desert me in the morning, 

Kind of your cruelty and spice 

And I move up from the country to wave a goodbye to old anne 

And I just let her on that riverboat and I never will look back 

Jesus said to mary: look at the things we do for love 

Well do you think he was selfconcious, 

It was only her he was thinking of. 

I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry. 

Now I'm weeping with a vengeance 

These are tears of joy oh my
