lyrics

THE JESUS SONG

When I got up, Jesus had his boots on my table
Rolling a smoke, he said to me
“Listen up, son, you better believe what I say!
I made some coffee, do you like it strong?
And hey, do I smell weed in here?
Every cat and chick I know calls me J.C., by the way!”

“Back in my day I had zip, I had nothing
But the dress on my back, my sandals
And a couple of nails with my name on them!
Them homies couldn’t dig my rap
The whole ole song ’bout Love & Peace
But you know, that’s the shit, to go out and love’em!”

“I had to stage a little show back then
Coz I had to lay low for a little while
I used my influence, my old man and boy, did I blow out of town
Getting out and in again
That was more than them folks at home could take
And I thought, well Adios Muchachos, see y’all round!”

“I really love the sound of a good steel-guitar
A couple of cold ones, prop up the bar
I can really dig a miracle every once in while
I like to hover over lakes
My hairdo, beard and style.”

“Y’know, there’s times I ride the breeze
And when the mood catches me
I catch myself humming old corny songs like good old Hey Jude
Have you ever wondered where Satan’s gone?
I vaporized that li’l pathetic shit
That’s what get’s me, when I’m in the mood!”

And he put on my boots and said to my face
“I like to swap stuff, you c’n have mine
Now I gotta get out of your li’l Louisiana
Grab a car and raise some dust
Put on a real fine country station
And get on home, Sweet Home Alabama!”

Sister Jones Linz, Austria

Sister Jones have been strolling nimble-footedly through Austria‘s musical landscape since 2011, dancing deftly between heartbreaking Soul Music and rock-hard, well, Rock‘n‘Roll. Writing and performing music that has been unheard of until today. Grand pop music without mainstream, strong individualism minus too much stubbornness, with lyrics reminding us strongly of Tom Waits and other dark poets. ... more
