Heaven On Their Minds (Judas) Listen Jesus do you care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place? My mind is clearer now— We are occupied— At last all too well Have you forgotten how put down we are? I can see where we all soon will be If you strip away the myth from the man You I am frightened by the crowd will see where we all soon will be for we are getting much too loud. And they'll crush us if we go too far Jesus! You've started to believe If we go too far!!! The things they say of you Listen, Jesus to the warning I give You really do believe Please remember that I want us to live This talk of God is true But it's sad to see our chances weakening And all the good you've done with every hour Will soon get swept away You've begun to matter more All your followers are blind! Than the things you say Too much Heaven On Their Minds It was beautiful but now it's sour Listen, Jesus I don't like what I see Yes it's all gone sour! All I ask is that you listen to me Ah--Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah!!

And remember— Listen Jesus to the warning I give I've been your right hand man all along Please remember that I want us to live You have set them all on fire So come on, come on, listen to me. They think they've found the new Messiah Ah --- ah Come on, listen, listen to me. Come And they'll hurt you when they on and listen to me. Ah --- ah find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began No talk of God then— What’s The Buzz We called you a man And believe me— APOSTLES What's the buzz? My admiration for you hasn't died Tell me what's a-happening. But every word you say today (repeat 8 times) Gets twisted round some other way And they'll hurt if they think you've lied JESUS Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future? Don't Nazareth, your famous son you try to think ahead? Should have stayed a great unknown Save tomorrow for tomorrow; Like his father carving wood— Think about today instead.

He'd have made good APOSTLES What's the buzz? Table chairs and oaken chests Tell me what's a-happening. would have suited Jesus best (repeat many times) He'd caused nobody harm--no-one alarm

1 JESUS I could give you facts and figures. JESUS Who are you to criticize her? Even give you plans and forecasts. Even Who are you to despise her? tell you where I'm going. Leave her, leave her, let her be now Leave her, leave her, APOSTLES When do we ride into Jerusalem? she's with me now [Repeats] If your slate is clean – JESUS Why should you want to know? then you can throw stones Why are you obsessed with fighting If your slate is not Times and fates you can't defy? then leave her alone If you knew the path we're riding, I'm amazed that men like you You'd understand it less than i. can be so shallow thick and slow APOSTLES What's the buzz? There is not a man among you Tell me what's a-happening. who knows or cares if I come or go. (repeat many times) ALL (except Judas) No you're wrong! MARY Let me try to cool down You're very wrong!... your face a bit. (repeat 5 times) How can you say that? How can you say that?... JESUS Mary that is good, While you prattle through your supper, JESUS Not one - not one of you! Where and when and who and how. She alone has tried to give me What I need right here and now. Then We Are Decided APOSTLES What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening. We've been sitting on the fence (repeat many times) for far too long.

ANNAS Strange Thing Mystifying Why let him upset us? Caiaphas, let him be. It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying All those imbeciles will see That a man like you can waste his time He really doesn't matter. on women of her kind Yes I can understand that she amuses CAIAPHAS But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, Jesus is important. that's hardly in your line We've let him go his way before It's not that I object to her profession And while he starts a major war, But she doesn't fit in well We theorize and chatter. with what you teach and say ANNAS It doesn't help us if you are inconsistent He's just another Scripture-thumping They only need a small excuse hack From Galilee! to put us all away CAIAPHAS The difference is they call him King! Everything’s Alright The difference frightens me! What about the Romans? MARY MAGDALENE When they see King Jesus crowned Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Do you think they'll stand around, problems that upset you oh don't you know Cheering and applauding? Everything's alright yes everything's fine What about our people? and we want you to sleep well tonight If they see we've lost our nerve Let the world turn without you tonight Don't you think that they deserve If we try we'll get by Something more rewarding? so forget all about us tonight

ANNAS APOSTLES'WOMEN They've got what they want. Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes

They think so, anyway. MARY MAGDALENE If he's what they want Sleep and I shall soothe you, Why take their toy away? He's a craze! calm you and anoint you myrrh for your hot forehead oh then you'll feel CAIAPHAS Put yourself in my place! Everything's alright yes everything's fine I can hardly step aside! and it's cool and the ointment's sweet I cannot let my hands be tied! for the fire in your head and feet I am law and order! Close your eyes close your eyes and relax What about our priesthood? think of nothing tonight

Don't you see that we could fall? APOSTLES' WOMEN If we are to last at all, Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes We cannot be divided! JUDAS Woman your fine ointment ANNAS - brand new and expensive Then say so to the council. could have been saved for the poor But don't rely on subtlety. Why has been wasted, Frighten them, or they won't see... we could have raised maybe CAIAPHAS three hundred silver pieces or more Then we are decided? People who are hungry, people who are starving ANNAS matter more than your feet and hair. Then we are decided MARY MAGDALENE Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to problems that upset you oh 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 3 ALL Hey JC, JC you're alright by me Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar

JESUS JESUS Surely you're not saying we have the Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd? resources to save the poor from their lot. Nothing can be done to stop the shouting. There will be poor always, pathetically struggling If every tongue were stilled - look at the good things you've got! The noise would still continue. Think! while you still have me The rock & stones themselves would start to sing Move! while you still see me You'll be lost and you'll be sorry CROWD & JESUS when I'm gone! Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna Hey Sanna Hosanna MARY MAGDALENE Hey JC, JC won't you fight for me? Sleep and I shall soothe you, Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar calm you and anoint you myrrh for your hot forehead oh then you'll feel JESUS Everything's alright yes everything's fine Sing me your songs, But not for me alone. and it's cool and the ointment's sweet Sing out for yourselves, For you are bless-ed. for the fire in your head and feet There is not one of you Close your eyes close your eyes and relax who cannot win the kingdom. think of nothing tonight The slow, the suffering, The quick, the dead.

There must be over fifty thousand Screaming love and all for you. And next, the room was full And everyone of fifty thousand Would do of wild and angry men. whatever you ask him to They seemed to hate this man. Keep them yelling their devotion, They fell on him, and then disappeared again. But add a touch of hate at Rome! And you will rise to a greater power! Then I saw thousands of millions We will win ourselves our home! Crying for this man. And you'll get the power and the glory! And then I heard them mentioning my name, For ever and ever and ever! and leaving me the blame. And you'll get the power and the glory! For ever and ever and ever! (repeat several times, crowd singing with) The Temple

JESUS Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand MONEYLENDERS AND MERCHANTS Nor the Romans, nor the Jews Roll on up -- for my price is down Nor Judas, nor the twelve Come on in -- for the best in town Nor the priests, nor the scribes Take your pick of the finest wine Nor doomed Jerusalem itself Lay your bets on this bird of mine Understand what power is Name your price I got everything Understand what glory is Come and buy it's all going fast Understand at all, understand at all Borrow cash on the finest terms If you knew, all that i knew My poor Jerusalem Hurry now while stocks still last You'd see the truth, but you'd live a lie (Random shouting, selling stuff) But you'd live a lie. Roll on up -- for my price is down While you live, your troubles are many Come on in -- for the best in town Poor Jerusalem Take your pick of the finest wine To conquer death, you only have to die Lay your bets on this bird of mine You only have to die Roll on up -- for my price is down Come on in -- for the best in town JESUS 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 Don't you think it's rather funny Little left to do After all I should be in this position? I've tried for three years I'm the one who's always been Seems like thirty Seems like thirty So calm so cool No lover's fool Running every show… He scares me so LEPERS See my eyes I can hardly see See me stand I can hardly walk I never thought I'd come to this I believe you can make me whole What's it all about? See my tongue I can hardly talk See my skin I'm a mass of blood Yet, If he said he loved me I'd be lost, See my legs I can hardly stand I'd be frightened I couldn't cope I believe you can make me well Just couldn't cope I'd turn my head See my purse I'm a poor, poor man I'd back away I wouldn't want to know Will you touch, will you mend me Christ? He scares me so I want him so I love him so... 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? Damned For All Time (Judas)

(sing through twice) Now if I help you, it matters that you see JESUS These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me. Oh, there's too many of you, don't push me It's taken me some time to work out what to do. Oh, there's too little of me, don't crowd me I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you. Heal yourselves! I have no thought at all about my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Everything’s Alright - Reprise Just don't say I'm ... Damned for all time.

I Don’t Know How To Love Him (Mary) I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw. Jesus can't control it like he did before. I don't know how to love him And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too. What to do, how to move him I Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you. 've been changed, yes really changed I have no thought at all about my own reward. In these past few days when I've seen myself I really didn't come here of my own accord. I seem like someone else Just don't say I'm ... Damned for all time. I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man & wise. He's a man He's just a man Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize. And I've had so many men before Why are we the prophets? In very many ways - he's just one more Why are we the ones Should I bring him down Who see the sad solution Should I scream and shout know what must be done? Should I speak of love -let my feelings out? I have no thought at all about my own reward. I never thought I'd come to this I really didn't come here of my own accord. What's it all about? Just don't say I'm….Damned for all time. 7 Blood Money The Last Supper

APOSTLES ANNAS Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. Look at all my trials and tribulations We want information. Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Get up of the floor. Don't disturb me now I can see the answers Till this evening is this morning life is fine CAIAPHAS We have the papers we need to arrest him. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle You know his movements. Knew that I would make it if I tried We know the law. Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll still talk about us when we've died ANNAS Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded. JESUS The end . . . Is just a little harder CAIAPHAS We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. when brought about by friends We just need to know where For all you care this wine the soldiers can find him. could be my blood For all you care this bread ANNAS With no crowd around him. could be my body CAIAPHAS Then we can't fail. The end! JUDAS I don't want your blood money! This is my blood you drink CAIAPHAS Oh, that doesn't matter, This is my body you eat our expenses are good. If you would remember me JUDAS I don't need your blood money! when you eat and drink. ANNAS But you might as well take it. We think that you should. I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes I must be out of my head! CAIAPHAS Think of the things you could do with that money, Look at your blank faces! Choose any charity My name will mean nothing give to the poor. Ten minutes after I'm dead! We've noted your motives. One of you denies me We've noted your feelings. One of you betrays me This isn't blood money - it's a ... APOSTLES Not I! Who would? Impossible! JESUS Peter will deny me in just a few hours ANNAS A fee. Three times will deny me – CAIAPHAS A fee nothing more. and that's not all I see JUDAS On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him. One of you here dining, Far from the crowds, one of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me in the Garden of Gethsemane. JUDAS Cut out the dramatics! CHOIR Well done Judas. Good old Judas. You know very well who JESUS Why don't you go do it? JUDAS You want me to do it!

JESUS Hurry they are waiting JUDAS If you knew why I do it . . . JESUS I don't care why you do it! APOSTLES JUDAS To think I admired you Look at all my trials and tribulations For now I despise you Sinking in a gentle pool of wine JESUS You liar - you Judas What's that in the bread it's gone to my head JUDAS You wanted me to do it! Till this evening is this morning life is fine What if I just stayed here Always hoped that I'd be an apostle And ruined your ambition? Knew that I would make it if I tried If I tried Christ you deserve it! Then when we retire we can write the JESUS Hurry you fool, hurry and go, gospels Save me your speeches So they'll still talk about us when we've died I don't want to know - Go! Go! JESUS Will no-one stay awake with me? APOSTLES Peter? John? James? Look at all my trials and tribulations Will none of you wait with me? Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Peter? John? James? 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 Gethsemane (Jesus) Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels I only want to say If there is a way So they'll all talk about us when we've died Take this cup away from me For I don't want to taste it's poison JUDAS You sad pathetic man Feel it burn me I have changed - see where you've brought us to I'm not as sure, as when we started Our ideals die around us Then, I was inspired and all because of you Now I'm sad and tired But the saddest cut of all Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations Someone has to turn you in I tried for three years, seems like thirty Like a common criminal, Could you ask as much from any other man like a wounded animal But if I die… See the saga through A jaded mandarin and do the things you ask of me A jaded mandarin Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, Like a jaded, faded, faded, nail me to their tree Jaded, jaded mandarin I want to know, I want to know my God JESUS Get out! They're waiting! I want to know, I want to know my God Get out! They're waiting! I want to see, I want to see my God Oh! They're waiting for you! I want to see, I want to see my God JUDAS Every time I look at you I don't understand Why should I die? Why you let the things you did Would I be more noticed get so out of hand than I ever was before? You'd have managed better Would the things I've said if you'd had it planned - Ah --- ah and done matter any more?

9 I have to know, I have to know my Lord APOSTLES What's the buzz I have to know, I have to know my Lord Tell me what's happening I have to see, I have to see my Lord What's the buzz I have to see, I have to see my Lord Tell me what's happening If I die what will be my reward?
