Jesus Christ Superstar (1996 London Revival) The
Temple Lyrics:
[1996 London Revival] [Moneychangers & merchants:] Roll on up while the price is down.
Come on in for the best in town.
Take your pick of the finest wine.
Lay your bets on this bird of mine.
Roll on up while the price is down.
Come on in for the best in town.
Take your pick of the finest wine.
Lay your bets on this bird of mine.
Name your price, I got everything.
Come on by, it's going fast.
Borrow cash on the finest terms.
Hurry now while stocks still last.
Roll on up Jerusalem,
Here it is and lots of it.
While our temple still survives,
We, at least, are still alive.
Come on
[?? this ?? old ??] ,
1 I can fix your wildest needs,
Name your pleasure I will sell.
I got heaven, I got hell.
What you see is what you get.
No one's been disappointed yet.
Don't be scared, give me a try.
There is nothing you can't buy.
[Cacophony of crowd noises during instrumental break.] Roll on up while the price is down.
Come on in for the best in town.
Take your pick of the finest wine.
Lay your bets on this bird of mine.
Roll on up while the price is down.
Come on in for the best in town...
[Jesus:] My temple should be a house of prayer!
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/EasW ]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 his tongue, he can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
Change my life, oh, I know you can.
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?
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See his tongue, he can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
Change my life, oh, I know you can.
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?
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See his tongue, he can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
Change my life, oh, I know you can.
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?
[The crowd continues singing as above
while Jesus says the following lines:] There's too many of you... Don't push me.
There's too little of me... Don't crowd me.
Heal yourselves!
