Lloyd Cole - Jesus said lyrics

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 its 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

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.
