I Have Forgiven Jesus Lyrics

Artist: Morrissey
Album: You Are The Quarry

I was a good kid
I wouldnâ‚¬â„¢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 Godâ‚¬â„¢s help I know
Iâ‚¬â„¢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 thereâ‚¬â„¢s nothing I can do with this desire

I was good kid
through hail and snow / Iâ‚¬â„¢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 thereâ‚¬â„¢s no one I can turn to with this love

Monday - humiliation / Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension / Thursday - is pathetic
by Friday - Life has killed me
by Friday - Life has killed me

why did you give me /so much desire?
when there is nowhere I can go
to offload this desire?
and 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?
