I Have Forgiven Jesus - Morrissey

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

Wednesday — condescension

Thursday — is pathetic

By Friday life has killed me

By Friday life has killed me

Oh pretty one

Oh pretty one

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’s 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?
