best songs that mention jesus

The Who, "Christmas" ("he doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is")

"Dear Mr Jesus."

"Jesus Is A Good Name To Moan" - Mugison

"Can't Hardly Wait" - The Replacements (wherein the cheap Holy Bastard won't pony up for cigarettes)

Jesus is My Friend guy is entirely lovable for a christian nutjob.

this quite reminds me of Hamlet 2!

Fatima Mansions - "Viva Dead Ponies"

Do you know how Jesus feels
when he's behind his sportscar wheel
and the windscreen glass is all gummed up with blood?
Do you know how old Jesus feels?

big stick - jesus was born on an indian reservation

The Other Jesus _ swervedriver
JC Auto _sugar

lists are ace

Henry S - you have just reminded me of a very great band I used to love. Fatima Mansions. I hope Cathal's still a pest and challenging the man

^I loved them too, and even started a Cathal Coughlin thread once that went nowhere...(sigh)...

One Toke Over the Line seconded

This one needs its video to be great:

Black Sabbath-Thrill of It All

On the blasphemy front, Nervous Gender had a song with the lyric

"Jesus was a cock sucking Jew from Gallilee.
Jesus was just like me.
A homosexual nymphomaniac, a homosexual nymphomaniac..."

Can't remember the name of it.

Elsewhere: E.C. Ball's "Tribulations"

"When the fire comes down from heaven/And the blood shall fill the sea/I'll be carried home by Jesus/And forever with him be."

Scary hot. And swingin too.

Destroyer - Time Square
"Jesus is beside himself" and "The writing on the wall said, 'Jesus saves'"

sp: Times Square

Two from Neil Young: "Soldier" and "Love in Mind."

Lots of Lloyd Cole songs. Can't remember the exact ones, but they're all good. Ask Pinefox, it's late and I have to go to bed.

Pinefox never answered. So I'll try:

Just fro the first two albums. By far his best if you ask me.
- Jesus Said
- Rich ("And even Jesus has a price.")
- Brand New Friend ("Walking with Jesus and Jane.")
- Lost Week-end ("'Twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand")

Extra point: In "The Sea and the Sand" he even mentions the Lord.

It's weird whenever I hear someone mentioning Jesus in a song I try to start to listen to the lyrics. I am not religious at all but somehow to me lyrics which contain the character Jesus are more precious to me than those who don't.

i kinda wanna start a "best songs that eviscerate Jesus" thread but I feel like that's just like Rolling Metal pt 2

Put a straw under baby
Your good deed for the day
Put a straw under baby
Keep the splinters away
Let the corridors echo
As the dark places grow
Hear superior's footsteps
On the landing below
There's a place in the orchard
Where no one dare go
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow
Turned into a crow, crow
Turned into a crow
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow
There's a brain in the table
There's a heart in the chair
And they all live in Jesus
It's a family affair

U2 - One
"Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head.
