歌曲歌詞
He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes
And said You know I'm Jesus and I must have looked surprised
Because he said Please don't be hasty no-one understands
But I've got a way to prove it and he lifted up his hands
He was the man who called himself Jesus
For a minute I was speechless then I looked into his face
With sufficient lines of sadness for the total human race
And I said You must be joking but he slowly shook his head
And said That's what they all say I might as well be dead
He asked me if I knew a place where he could start to preach
I said Well try a church or maybe Brighton beach
And I was trying to be serious but he didn't seem impressed
He said You think I'm crazy you're just like all the rest
I was really quite embarrassed he was looking so sincere
So I said I close the shop soon won't you come and have a
Beer
Then he asked me if I meant it and he smiled a funny smile
And he said he'd rather like that and he hung arounds a while
On the way he stopped to pat little children's heads
And he taught them one line prayers to say as they went off to their beds
But mostly they were frightened and they looked at him wide eyed
And when he said his name was Jesus one girl even cried
In the pub I asked him if he'd tried to see the Pope
And he said although he'd thought about it there was really not a hope
Then he said he thought he'd better go he had some work to do
He said he'd come and see me in about a week or two
Well after he had gone I thought of what he'd said
And all his funny actions they kept running through my head
And when I felt my mind was drowning in a sea of mud
It seemed his pint of beer had turned into a pint of blood
