Morrissey - I Have Forgiven Jesus Lyrics

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

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

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? Do you hate me?
Do you hate me? Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
