Heaven On Their Minds

Júdás:   My mind is clearer now - at last all too well
            I can see where we all soon will be
            If you strip away the myth from the man
            You will see where we all soon will be
            Jesus! 
            You've started to believe  
            The things they say of you 
            You really do believe
            This talk of God is true
 
            And all the good you've done
            Will soon get swept away
            You've begun to matter more
            Than the things you say
         
            Listen Jesus I don't like what I see    
            All I ask is that you listen to me         
            And remember - I've been your right hand man all along
            You have set them all on fire
            They think they've found the new Messiah                        
            And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong                 
            I remember when this whole thing began
            No talk of God then - we called you a man
            And believe me - my admiration for you hasn't died
            But every word you say today
            Gets twisted 'round some other way
            And they'll hurt you if they'll think you've lied
            Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
            Like his father carving wood
            He'd have made good!
            Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
            He'd have caused nobody harm
            No one alarm!
            Listen Jesus do you care for your race,
            Can't you see we must keep in our place
            We are occupied - Have you forgotten how put down we are?
            I am frightened by the crowd
            For we are getting much too loud
            And they'll crush us if we go to far.
            If we  go-oh-oh-oh  too
            If we go-oh-oh-oh  to-oo far 
            Listen Jesus to the warning I give,
            Please remember that I want us to live
            But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour....
            All your followers are blind,
            Too much heaven on their minds
            It was beautiful but now it's
            sour,  Yes it's ah-all...  go-ah-one 
            sour ... 
            Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,...    
            God ah ah ah!  Jesus!  Cause it's 
            all....      

 
 
           gone sour
            Listen Jesus to the warning I give
            Can't you know that I'm warning...
                            C'mon, c'mon  listen to
            me  ahhh! ah ah ah ah
            Ahhh! ah ah ah aha ha ha
            Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
            Won't you listen to me.
 

What's the Buzz?

          
Apostolok:   What's the buzz?  Tell me what's a'happening?
            What's the buzz?  Tell me what's a'happening? (négyszer)
 
Jézus:   Why should you want to know?
         Don't you mind about the future,
         Don't you try to think ahead
         Save tomorrow for tomorrow,
         Think about today instead
 
Apostolok:   What's the buzz?  Tell me what's a'happening? (négyszer)
Jézus:   Oo yeah, I could give you facts and figures -
 
Apostolok:   When do we ride into Jerusalem? (négyszer)
Jézus:   I could give you plans and forecasts
         Even tell you where I'm going - yeah, alright
 
Apostolok:   When do we ride into Jerusalem? (négyszer)
 
Jézus:   Why should you want to know?
         Why are you obsessed with fighting?
         Times and fates you can't defy?
         If you knew the path we're riding
         You'd understand it less than I!
 
Apostolok:   What's the buzz?  Tell me what's a'happening? (négyszer) 
 
Mária M.:   Let me try to cool down your face a bit ... (nyolcszor)
Jézus: Oo yeah, that feels nice, Oh oh oh so nice... 
       Ahh! Oh My - my...
       Mary oo that is good - while you prattle through your supper
       Where and when and who and how
       She alone has tried to give me
       Umm, What I need right here and now!
 
Apostolok:   What's the buzz?  Tell me what's a'happening? (tizenkétszer)
 
 

Strange Thing Mystifying

Júdás:   It seems to me a strange thing mystifying
         That a man like you         
         can waste his time 
         on women of her kind!
         Yes I can understand that she amuses,
         But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair is hardly in your line!
         It's not that I object to her profession 
 
         But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
         It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent      
         They only need a small excuse to put us all away.


 
 
 
 
Jézus:   Who are you to criticise her?
              Who are you to despise her?
         Leave her, Leave her, let her be now
         Leave her, Leave her, she's with me now
         If your slate is clean - then you can throw stones
         If your slate is not -   then leave her alone 
 
         I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow
         There's not a man among you who knows or cares if I come or go

 
 
 
 Emberek:     No you're wrong! You're very wrong! (négyszer)
                          How can you say that? (négyszer)


 
 
Jézus:   Not one-not one of you! 
 

Everything's Alright

Mária M.:    Try not to get worried, try not to turn onto
            Problems that upset you ah, don't you know
            Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
            And we want you to sleep well tonight
            Let the world turn without you tonight
            If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
 
Apostolok feleségei: Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes


 
 
 
 
Mária M.:    Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
            Myrrh for your hot forehead ah, then you'll feel
            Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
            And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
            For the fire in your head and feet
            Close your eyes, close your eyes
            And relax think of nothing tonight.
 
Apostolok feleségei:   Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
 
Júdás:   Woman your fine ointment - brand new and expensive
         Could have been saved for  the  poor.
         Why has it been wasted?   We could have raised maybe 
         Three hundred silver pieces  or  more.
         People who are hungry, people who are starving
         Matter more than your feet and hair!
 
Mária M.:   Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
            Problems that upset you ah, don't you know
            Ev'rything's alright, yes, ev'rything's fine
            And we want you to sleep well tonight
            Let the world turn without you tonight
            If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight.
 
Apostolok feleségei:   Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
 
Jézus:   Surely you're not saying we have the resources
         To save the poor from  their lot?
         There will be poor always, pathetically struggling -
         Look at the good things you've got!
         Think!  While you still have me
         Move!  While you still see me
         You'll be lost, you'll be so so-oo-rry when I'm gone!
 
Mária M.:   Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
            Myrrh for your hot forehead, ah, then you'll feel
            Everything's alright yes everything's fine
            And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
            For the fire in your head and feet
            Close your eyes, close your eyes
            And relax think of nothing tonight
            Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax... (huszonötször)
 
 
 
 
 
 

This Jesus Must Die

 
Pap 1:   Good Caiaphas, the council waits for you,
         The pharisees and priests are here for you!


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here
            We've not much time and quite a problem here


 
 
 
 
Emberek:   Hosanna! Superstar! Hosanna! Superstar!
 
Annás:   Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street!
         A trick or two with lepers and the whole town on its feet
 
Papok:     He is dangerous!


 
 
 
 
Emberek : Jesus Christ Superstar…


 
 
 
 
Papok:     He is dangerous!


 
 
 
 
Emberek:    Tell us that you're who they say you are…

Pap 2:   The man is in town right now to whip up some support
         A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort
 
Papok: He is dangerous!


 
 
 
 
Emberek:   Jesus Christ Superstar…


 
 
 
 
Papok:   He is dangerous!


 
 
 
 
Pap 2:   Look, Caiaphas - they're right outside our yard


 
 
 
 
Pap 3:   Quick, Caiaphas - go call the Roman guard...


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   No wait - we need a more permanent solution to our problem...


 
 
 
 
Annás:      What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth
                Miracle wonderman - hero of fools?
           
Pap 2:   No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans...


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   One thing I'll say for him: Jesus is cool.


 
 
 
 
Pap 1:   We dare not leave him to his own devices
         His half-witted fans will get out of control
 
Pap  3:   But how can we stop him?  His glamour increases
            By leaps every minute - he's top of the poll.
 
Kajafás:   I see bad things arising
            The crowd crown him King which the Romans would ban
            I see blood and destruction
            Our elimination because of one man
            Blood and destruction because of one man!


 
 
 
 
Papok:  Because, because, because of one man!


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   Our elimination because of one man!


 
 
 
 
Papok:  Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man.


 
 
 
 
Pap 3:   What then to do about this Jesus-mania?
 
Annás:      How do we deal with the carpenter king?


 
 
 
 
Pap 3:   Where do we start with a man who is bigger
            Then John was when John did his Baptism thing?
 
Kajafás :   Fools! You have no perception
            The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!
            We must crush him completely 
            So like John before him, this Jesus must die
            For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die
 
Papok:   Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
 
Kajafás:   So like John before him, this Jesus must die
 
Papok:        Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!
 
 

Hosanna

Kórus:   Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho
         Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
         Hey JC, JC won't you smile at me?
         Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
 
Kajafás:  Tell the rabble to be quiet we an-ti-cipate a riot
          This common crowd is much too loud
          Tell the mob who sing your song that they are fools and they are wrong
          They are a curse, they should disperse!
            
 Kórus:Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho
       Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna!
       Hey, JC, JC, You're alright by me
       Sanna Ho Sanna Hey, Superstar!
 
Jézus:   Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
         Nothing can be done to stop the shouting!
         If every tongue was still the noise would still continue
         The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing:
 
Kórus&Jézus:   Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
               Hey JC, JC won't you fight for me?
               Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
 
 
 
 

Simon Zealotes

 
Kórus:   Christ, you know I love you
         Did you see I waved?
         I believe in you and God
         So tell me that I'm saved
         Christ, you know I love you! Did you see I waved?
         I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved 
         Jesus I am with you - Touch me touch me Jesus
         Jesus I am on your side - Kiss me kiss me Jesus
            
Simon:   Christ, what more do you need to convince you
        That you've made it and you're easily as strong
         As the filth from Rome who rape our country
         And who've terrorized our people for so long?
 
Kórus:      Christ, you know I love you - Did you see I waved?
            I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
            Jesus I am with you
            Touch me touch me Jesus
            Jesus I am on your side
            Kiss me kiss me Jesus


 
 
 
 
Simon:  There must be over fifty thousand
         Screaming love and more for you
        And everyone of fifty thousand
        Would do whatever you ask him to
        Keep them yelling their devotion
        But add a touch of hate at Rome
        You will rise to a greater power
        We will win ourselves a home
         You'll get the power and the glory
         For ever and ever and ever
        For you'll get the power and the glory
         For ever and ever and ever
        You'll get the power and the glory
         For ever and ever and ever   (Amen! Amen!)
         For ever and ever and ever   (Amen! Amen!)… -||-
    
 

Poor Jerusalem

 
Jézus:   Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand
           Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
         Nor Judas, nor the Twelve, nor the Priests, nor the Scribes,
         Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
         Understand what power is,
         Understand what glory is,
         Understand  at  all
         Understand  at  all...
 
            If you    knew    all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem
            You'd see the truth but you close your eyes
            But you close your eyes
            
            While you live your troubles are many, poor Jerusalem
            To conquer death you only have to die,
            You only have to die
 

Pilate's Dream

Pilate:   I dreamed    I met a Galilean -
          A most amazing man
          He had that look you very rarely find -
          The haunting, hunted kind
 
          I asked him to say what had happened
          How it all began
          I asked again - he never said a word
          As if he hadn't heard.
          And next the room was full of wild and angry men
         They seemed to hate this man 
          They fell on him and then
          They disappeared again
 
          Then I saw thousands of millions
          Crying for this man .
          And then I heard them mentioning my name
          And leaving me the blame
 
 

The Temple

 
  
Árusok: Roll on up - for 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 - for the price is down

         Take your pick of the finest wine
         Lay your bets on this bird of mine
 
         Roll on up - for the price is down
         Come on in - for the best in town

 
 
 
 
 
Jézus:   My temple should be a house of prayer      
         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 ...


 
 
 
 
Kórus:   See my eyes I can hardly see
         See me stand I can hardly walk
         I believe you can make me well   
         See my tongue I can hardly talk
         
         See my skin I'm a mass of blood
         See my legs I can hardly stand
         I believe you can make me well
         See my purse I'm a poor man
         
         Will you touch will you mend me Christ?
         Won't you touch will you heal me Christ?
         Will you kiss you can heal 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 my tongue I can hardly talk
         
         See my skin I'm a mass of blood
         See my legs I can hardly stand
         I believe you can make me well
         See my purse I'm a poor man
         
         Will you touch will you mend me Christ?
         Won't you touch will you heal me Christ?
         Will you kiss you can heal me Christ?
         Won't you kiss won't you pay me Christ?
 
Jézus:   Ooo, There's too many of you - don't push me
          Ah, There's too little of me - don't, don't crowd me
         Umm, don't crowd me. 
         Ahh! 
         Heal yourselves!

I Don't Know How To Love Him

Mária M.:    Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
            Problems that upset you, well, don't you know
            Everything's alright, yes, everythings fine
 
Jézus:   And I think I shall sleep well tonight,
         Let the world turn without me tonight
 
Mária M.:    Close your eyes, close your eyes
            And forget all about us tonight
            I don't know how to love him
            What to do how to move him
            I've been changed yes really changed
            In this past few days   when I've seen myself
            I seem like  someone   else
 
            I don't know how to take this
            I don't see why he moves me
            He's a man, he's just a man
            And I've had so many men before
            In very many ways... 
 
            Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout
            Should I speak of love, let my feelings out
            I never thought I'd come to this 
            What's it all   about?


 
 
 
 
           Don't    You    think it's rather...
          Don't You think it's rather funny
            I should be in this position
            I'm the one who's always been
            So calm so cool, no lovers fool
            Running every show ...  
            He scares me so
            I never thought I'd come to this -
            What's it all   about?
 
            Yet if he said he loved me
            I'd be lost I'd be frightened
            I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
            I'd turn my head I'd back away
            I wouldn't want to know ...
            He scares me so !
            I want him so, 
            I love him so ...

Damned For All Time

 
Júdás:   Now if I help  you it matters that you see
      These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me
         It's taken me some time to work out what you do
         I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you
         I have no thought at all about my own reward 
         I really didn't come here of my own accord
         Just   don't  say   I'm 
         Damned for    all   time
 
         I came because I had to I'm the one who saw
         Jesus can't control it like he did before.
         And further more I know that Jesus thinks so too
         Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
         I have no thought at all about my own reward
         I really didn't come here of my own accord
         Just don't say I'm
         Damned for all time
 
         Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise,
         Caiaphas, my friend I know your sympathize
         Why are we the prophets?  Why are we the ones?
         Who see the sad solution - know what must be done
         I have no thought at all about my own reward
         I really didn't come here of my own accord
         Just don't say I'm
         Damned for all time
 

 Blood Money

 
Annás:   Cut the protesting, forget the excuses,
         We want information, get up off the floor


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   We have the papers, we need to arrest him
            You know his movement - we know the law


 
 
 
 
Annás:      Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail! 
               We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
                 
Annás:      With no crowd around him


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   Then we can't fail
         
Júdás:   I don't need your blood money!


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good.


 
 
 
 
Júdás:   I don't want your blood money!


 
 
 
 
Kajafás:   But you might as well take it - we think that you should
 
Annás:      Think of the things you can do with that money 
 
Kajafás:   We've noted your motives - we've noted your feelings


 
 
 
 
Annas:      This isn't blood money - it's a fee nothing,
                 Fee nothing, fee nothing more
    
Júdás:   On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
           Far from the crowds in the garden of Gethsemane
 
Kórus:   Well done, Judas,
              Good old Judas...
 
 
The last supper
 
Apostolok:   Look at all my trials and tribulations
            Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
            Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
            Till this evening is this morning life is fine.
 
            Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
            Knew that I would make it if I tried
            Then when we retire we can write the gospels
            So they'll still talk about us when we've died
 
Jézus:   The end ...
         Is just a little harder when brought about by friends
 
         For all you care      
         this wine could be my blood
         For all you care  this bread could be my body
         The end!
         This is my blood you drink 
         This is my body you eat
         If you would remember me when you eat and drink
 
            I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes
            I must be out of   my   head!
            Look at your blank faces!  My name will mean nothing
            Ten minutes after I'm dead! 
            One of you denies me! 
            One of you betrays me -            
            
Apostolok:   Not I!  Impossible! Who would?  What are you saying?
 
Jézus:   Peter will deny me in just a few hours
         Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see
         One of here dining, one of my twelve chosen
         Will leave to betray me 
 
Júdás:   Cut out the dramatics!  You know very well who 
 
Jézus:   Why don't you go do it?
 
Júdás:   You want me to do it!
 
Jézus:   Hurry they are waiting
 
Júdás:   If you knew why I do it...
 
Jézus:   I don't care why you do it
 
Júdás:   To think I admired you
              For now I despise you
 
Jézus:   You liar   -   you Judas!


 
 
 
Júdás: You want me to do it! 
           What if I just stayed here
         And ruined your ambition?
            Christ you deserve it!
            
Jézus:   Hurry you fool, hurry and go,
         Save me your speeches, I don't want to know 
                Go!

 
 
 
 
Apostolok:   Look at all my trials and tribulations
            Sinking in a gentle pool of wine      
            What's that in the bread it's gone to my head  
            Till this morning is this evening life is fine
 
            Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
            Knew that I would make it if I tried
            Then when we retire we can write the gospels
            So they'll still talk about us when we've died
 
Júdás:      You said pathetic man - see where you've brought us to
            Our ideals die around us all because of you
            And now the saddest cut of all -
            Someone has to turn you in
            Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal
            Jaded mandarin
            A jaded mandarin
            Just a faded, jaded, faded, jaded jaded mandarin
 
Jézus:   Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting! 
             Oh ho ho, They're waiting for you.  Ahh..
 
Júdás: Everytime I look at you I don't understand
         Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
         You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned   Ahhhh  ooh…
 
 
Apostolok:   Look at all my trials and tribulations
                     Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
            Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
            Till this evening, in this morning life is fine.
 
            Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
            Knew that I would make it if I tried
            Then when we retire we can write the gospels
            So they'll still talk about us when we've died


 
 
 
Jézus:   Will no-one stay awake with me?
         Peter?  John?  James?
         Will none of you wait with me?
         Peter?  John?  James?...
 
 

Gethsemane

 
Jézus:   I only want to say
         If there   is   a  way
         Take this cup    away   from me for   I don't want to taste -
         It's poison
         Feel it burn me, I have changed
         I'm not as sure as   when   we     started.
         Then    I  was     inspired
         Now   I'm sad and tired
         Listen surely     I've exceeded expectations
         Tried for three years   seems like thirty
         Could you ask as much from any other man?
            But  if  I  die
            See the Saga through and do the things you ask of me
            Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
               
               I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God (kétszer) 
                I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God (kétszer) 

 
 
 
               Why I should die?
              Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
               Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
                I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord (kétszer)
               I'd have to see I'd have to see my lord (kétszer)
                If I die what will be my reward? (kétszer)
                I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord (kétszer)
               Why should I die?
               Ah oh, Why should I die?   
               Can't you show me now that I wouldn't be killed in vain?
               Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
               Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
               You're far to keen on where and how and not so hot on why
               Alright,I'll die!
               Ah! Just, just watch me die!
               See  how, see how I die! 
               Oh, yeah, see how I die!
 
       Then I was    inspired
       Now I'm sad and tired
       After all I've tried for three years   seems like ninety   why then am I
       Scared to finish what I started, what you started - I didn't start it
 
       God thy will is hard
       But you hold every card        
       I will drink your cup of poison nail me to  your cross and break me, 
       Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now,  before I change my mind!
 
 

The Arrest

Júdás:   There he is!  They're all asleep - the fools!


 
 
Jézus:   Judas - must you betray   me with a kiss!


 
 
Péter:   What's the buzz?  Tell me what's happening. (kétszer)
    
Péter és apostolok:   Ahh, What's the buzz?  Tell me what's happening.
                                         Hang on Lord we're gonna fight for you (négyszer)
       
Jézus:Put  away   your  sword!
           Don't you know that it's all over?
           It was nice but now it's gone
          Why are you obsessed with fighting?
         Stick to fishing from now on
 
Kórus:   Tell me Christ how you feel tonight
         Do you plan to put up a fight
         Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
         What would you say were your big mistakes?
           Do you think that you may retire?
           Did you think you would get much higher?
           How do you view your coming trial?
           Have you men proved at all worth while?
         Come with us to see Caiaphas
         You'll just love the High Priest's house
         You'll just love seeing Caiaphas
         You'll just die in the High Priest's house
         Come on God this is not like you
         Let us know what you're gonna do
           You know what your supporters feel?
          You'll escape in the final reel
           Tell me Christ how you feel tonight?
           Do you plan to put up the fight?
           Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
            What would you say were your big mistakes?
             Come with us to see Caiaphas
              You'll just love the High Priest's house
             You'll just love seeing Caiaphas
             You'll just die in the High Priest's house
          Now we have him! Now we've got him!
          Now we have him! Now we have got him, now!
 
Kajafás:   Jesus you must realize the serious charges facing you
               You say you're the son of God in all your handouts -
              Well, is it  true?

 
 
 
Jézus:   That's what you say - you say that I am


 
 
Annás:   There you have it, gentlemen - what more evidence do we need?
               Judas thank you for the victim - stay a while and you'll see it  bleed!
 
Kórus:  Now we have him! Now we've got him! (négyszer)
               Take him to Pilate!  Take him to Pilate!
 
 

Pilate and Christ

Pilátus:   Who is this broken man, cluttering up my hallway?
             Who is this unfortunate?
 
Katona:  Someone Christ, King of the Jews!
 
Pilátus:   Oh! So this is Jesus Christ! I'm really quite surprised
                  You look so small, not a king at all
                  We all know that you are news but are you king? King of the Jews?


 
 
Jézus:   That's what you say
 
Pilátus:   What do you mean by that?
          That is not an answer
          You're deep in trouble, friend 
          Someone Christ, King of the Jews!
           How can someone in your state 

 
 
          Be so cool about your fate       
          An amazing thing

 
 
           This silent king
          Since you come from Galilee then you need not come to me
          You're Herod's race!   You're Herod's case!
 
Kórus:   Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho
         Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
         Hey JC, JC please explain to me?
         You had everything where is it now?
 
 
 

King Herod's Song

 
Heródes:   Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
                  You've been getting    quite a name all around the place.
         Healing cripples raising from the dead
         And now I understand you're God... at least that's what you've said
 
         So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
         Prove to me that you're divine  change my water into wine
         That's all you need do and I'll know it's all true
         Come on, King of the Jews!
 
         Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
         You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year
         Oh, what a pity if it's all a lie
         Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
 
         So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
         Prove to me that you're no fool - walk across my swimming pool
         If you do that for me then I'll let you go free
         Come on, King of the Jews!
 
         I only ask things I'd ask any superstar
         What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
         I am waiting yes I'm a captive fan
         I’m dying to be shown that you are not just any  man
 
         So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
         Feed my household with this bread, you can do it - on you head!
         Or has something gone wrong?  Why do you take so long?
         Come on, King of the Jews! 
         
         Hey!  Aren't you   scared of me, Christ?  Mr. Wonderful Christ!
         You're a joke, you're not the lord! You're nothing but a fraud 
         Take him away - he's got nothing to say 
         Get out you King of the... get out!  
         Get out you King of the Jews!  Get out you King of the Jews!
         Get out of my life!
 


 
 
Judas’ Death
 
Júdás:   My God!  I saw him - he looked three-quarters dead!
          And he was so bad I had to turn my head
         You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
         And I know who everybody's gonna blame
         I don't believe he knows I acted for our good
         I'd save to him all this suffering if I could
         Don't believe... our good... save him... if I could...


 
 
Pap 3:   Cut the confessions forget the excuses
            I don't understand why you're filled with remorse
            All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
            The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse
 
Kajafás:   What you have done will be saving of Israel
            You'll be remembered forever for this
            And not only that you've been paid for your efforts
            Pretty good wages for one little kiss
 
J údás:   Christ!  I know you can't hear me
         But I only did what you wanted me to
         Christ!  I'd sell out the nation
         For I have been saddled with the murder of you
 
         I have been splattered with innocent blood,
         I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
         I have been splattered with innocent blood,
         I shall be dragged through the slime and the... 
         slime and the... slime and the mud!
 
            I don't know how to love him
            I don't know why he moves me
            He's a man  -  he's just a man
            He is not a King - he is just the same
             As any- one I    know
            He scares me so
            When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
            Does he love, does he love me too?  Does he care for me?
 
         My mind is in darkness now - My God, I'm sick
         I've been used and you knew ah, all the time
         God!  I'll never ever knows why you chose me for your crime... 
         Your foul bloody crime
         You have murdered me!  You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me!
         Murdered me! Murdered me!
 
         
Kórus:   Poor old Judas
            So long, Judas
 
 
 

Trial Before Pilate

Pilátus:     And so the King  is once again my guest!
               And why is this?       Was Herod unimpressed?
                       
Kajafás:   We turn to Rome to sentence Nazareth
            We have no law to put a man to death
            We need him crucified - it's all you have to do
            We need him crucified - it's all you have to do
 
Pilate:   Talk to me Jesus Christ
           You have been brought here manacled,
          Beaten by your own people 
          Do you have the first idea why you deserve it?
          Listen King of the Jews
          Where is your kingdom?
          Look at me - am I a Jew?
 
 
Jézus:    I have got no kingdom in this world I'm through, through, through
 
Emberek:   Talk to me Jesus Christ!
 
Jézus:    There maybe a kingdom for me somewhere  if I only knew…
 
Pilátus:   Then you're a King?  
 
Jézus:   It's you that say I am
                I look for truth and find that I get damned
 
Pilátus:   But what is truth?  Is truth unchanging law?
                   We both have truths - are mine the same of yours?
 
Emberek:      Crucify him! Crucify him!
 
Pilátus:   What do you mean - you'd crucify your King?
 
Emberek:   We have no King but Caesar!
 
Pilátus:   He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing
 
Emberek:   We have no King but Caesar!  Crucify him!
 
Pilátus:   I see no reason  I find no evil

 
 
               This man is harmless so why does he upset you?
              He's just misguided - thinks he's important
              But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him


 
 
Emberek:      Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!... - || - 
 
(39 ostorcsapás)

 
 
(Pilátus számol) 
 
Pilátus:   Where are you from Jesus?  What do you want Jesus? Tell me
                 You've got to be careful - you could be dead soon could well be
                Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands?
                How can you stay quiet?  I don't believe you understand


 
 
Jézus:     You have nothing in your hands
                Any power you have
                Comes to you from far beyond.
                Everything is fixed and you can't change it
         
Pilátus:   You're a fool, Jesus Christ!
                  How can I help you?
  
Emberek:   Pilate, crucify him, crucify...      
                      Remember Caesar, you have a duty, 
                     To keep the peace, so crucify him!
                     Remember Caesar, You'll be demoted,
                    You'll be deported, crucify him!
 
Pilátus:   Don't let me stop your great self-destruction
                 Die if you want to, you, misguided martyr!
                 I wash my hands of your demolition
                 Die, if you want to, you innocent puppet!
 

Superstar

Júdás:  Everytime I look at you I don't understand
              Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
              You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
              Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
              If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
              Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication
 
Emberek : Don't you get me wrong 

 
 
 
Júdás: Don't you get me wrong 
 
Emberek:  Don't you get me wrong now 

 
 
 
Júdás: Don't you get me wrong … - || -

         Jesus Christ Superstar
         Do you think you're what they say you are?
         Jesus Christ Superstar  
         Do you think you're what they say you are
 
         
Júdás:  Tell me what you think about your friends at the top 
       Who d'you think besides your self's the pick of the crop?
       Buddha was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
       Could Mohammed move a mountain or was that just PR?
       Did you mean to die like that?  Was that a mistake or
       Did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?
 
Emberek: Don't you get me wrong, Don't you get me wrong now (kétszer)
Júdás: Don't you get me wrong (négyszer)
 
Emberek: Only want to know, only want to know now (kétszer) 
Júdás:     Only want to know… (négyszer)

       Jesus Christ Superstar  
       Do you think you're what they say you are?
       Jesus Christ Superstar 
       Do you think you're what they say you are?
 
 
Kórus: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ             
             Who are you? What have you sacrificed?       

 
 


 
 
Emberek: Only want to know…
                                Jesus Christ, Tell me, tell me. 
                   Jesus Christ  Don't get me wrong! 
                    Who are you? Only want to know,
                    What have you sacrificed? Only want to know now     

 
 


 
 
(háttérben, míg az emberek és Júdás énekel)
 
Kórus: Jesus Christ,            
            Superstar                
            Do you think you're what        
            They say you are?               
        
 
Júdás: Jesus! I only want to know! 
            Well, tell me, don't get me wrong!  I only want to know!
           Jesus! Jesus! I only want to know!       
           Oh, tell me! Don't get me wrong!  I only want to know!
          Ahh oh! Jesus! I only want to know! 
          Hey! Jesus! Arg ! I only want to know! I want to know!
         Oh, Jesus! I only, I want to know now!
         Oh, oh, Jesus! Oh, oh, oh, I only want to know!
         Hey! Jesus! I only want to know!
          Yeah!
 
 
 

The Crucifixion

Jézus:God forgive them - they don't know what they're doing
         Who is my mother?  Where is my mother?
         My God My God why have you forgotten me?
         Oh God, I'm thirsty...
         It is finished...
         Father into your hands I commend my spirit!
