Jerusalem Songtext
von Simon Finn

The smell of newly cut corn
Came sifting through the palm trees
My eyes, they were blinded
By the sun reflecting on the seas
100 dozen mermaids smiled as I passed through the haze
The sound of familiar voices
Of yonder days
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
Jerusalem was made by
A guy, oh I forget his name
And Jesus was a dropout
A king who bore no crown
Only his long hair flowing
And flowing in the wind
And Jesus was a fisherman
That′s all he had to say
Oh yes and now follow me, disciple
Lead your lives a different way


And he rode into Jerusalem
On a donkey both bedraggled and lame
And as his Pharisees cursed his every word
But did not laugh, that made it a change
And Jesus was a good guy
Who lived on figs and wine
A political revolutionary
Out to let you have a good time
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
The sun it was rising
Just to christen his cross of fame
Did he imagine at that moment
200 million hypocrites would praise his name
Oh, and were he now to come down
Those hypocrites would crucify him again
And through the sweating crowds
Tears streaming down my face
Til I'm going insane
I′m crying
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
The smell of newly cut corn
Came sifting through those palm trees
My eyes, they were blinded
By the sun reflecting on the seas
Well that same sun was rising
Just to christen his cross of fame
Did he imagine at that moment
200 million hypocrites would praise his name?
Oh, and were he now to come down
Those hypocrites would crucify him again
Oh, and through the sweating crowds
Tears streaming down my face
Til I'm going insane
I'm crying out
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
They′re gonna put him inside
I′m yelling all I can
Can't you see he′s the Christ?
Oh, no no no
And they don't understand a single word I say
But I′m crying all the same
They would think that I'm insane
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, oh no no
Gonna put him inside
I′m yelling all I can
Can't you see he's the Christ
The Christ, the Christ
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
