I Have Forgiven Jesus

Morrissey · Greatest Hits (Deluxe Version) [2008]

I was a good kid

I wouldn't do you no harm

I was a nice kid

with a nice paper-round

Forgive me any pain

I may have brung to you

with God's help I know

I'll always be near to you

but Jesus hurt me

when he deserted me / but

I have forgiven Jesus

for all the desire

He placed in me when there's nothing I can do

with this desire



I was a good kid

through hail and snow I'd go

just to moon you

I carried my heart in my hand

do you understand?

do you understand?

but Jesus hurt me

when he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus

for all of the love

He placed in me

when there's no-one I can turn to with this love



Monday - humiliation

Tuesday - suffocation

Wendesday - condescension

Thursday - is pathetic

by Friday - life has killed me

by Friday - life has killed me



Ooh, pretty world

Ooh, pretty world



Why did you give me

so much desire?

when there is nowhere I can go

to offload this desire

Why did you give me

so much love

in a loveless world

when there is no-one I can turn to

to unlock all this love

and why did you stick me in

self-deprecating bones and skin

Jesus - do you hate me?

Why did you stick me in

self-deprecating bones and skin

do you hate me? do you hate me?

do you hate me? do you hate me?

do you hate me?
