I need an easy friend
I do … with an ear to lend
I do … think you fit this shoe
I do … won’t you have a clue
I’ll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can’t see you every night
Free
I do
I’m standing in your line
I do … hope you have the time
I do … pick a number too
I do … keep a date with you
I’ll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can’t see you every night
Free
I do
I need an easy friend
I do … with an ear to lend
I do … think you fit this shoe
I do … won’t you have a clue
I’ll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can’t see you every night (x2)
Free
I do … (x4)
Jesus, don’t want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don’t expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don’t ever ask your love of me
Don’t expect me to cry
Don’t expect me to lie
Don’t expect me to die for me
Jesus, don’t want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don’t expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don’t ever ask your love of me
(x2)
Don’t expect me to cry
Don’t expect me to lie
Don’t expect me to die for me
Jesus, don’t want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don’t expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don’t ever ask your love of me
Don’t expect me to cry
Don’t expect me to lie
Don’t expect me to die
Don’t expect me to cry
Don’t expect me to lie
Don’t expect me to die for me
Originally by The Vaselines. Correct title should be “Jesus Don’t Want Me For a Sunbeam”.
An incorrect title, using “Doesn’t”, is printed on the MTV Unplugged CD and covers. Though,
I think the Vaselines used the title “Jesus wants me for a sunbeam”
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With The Man Who Sold the World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land (Alt: I searched for foreign land)
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here (Alt 1: We walked a million years)
(Alt 2: With multimillionaires)
(Alt 3: We walked a million hills)
I must have died alone (Alt: I must have died along)
A long, long time ago
(x2)
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
