Chumbawamba - Jesus In Vegas Lyrics

Lyrics Jesus In Vegas - Chumbawamba




Call me on my cellular
And I'll give you a free ride to this underground stadium
They'll pick up the fair and they'll even tip you
Don't even worry about it, man
You'll love this joint
We'll stop off, we'll buy some booze, and, uh
You'll bring it in and it's just incredible
The girls will be all over you
I am the Lord of the very last dance
I've got Tommy on the leg of my pants
I've got the audience in the palm of my hands
My good friend Sinatra on my right
Andrew Lloyd Webber is doing the lights
It's twice a night for twenty five nights
One more little line, then everyone back to mine
(Back to mine)
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
I've got Basie conductin' the band
I got a penthouse suite at the sands
And my feet never touch the ground
Are there any Branch Davidians in the house?
Here's Jim Jones as a pantomime horse
That showbiz gets right up your nose
One more little line, then everyone back to mine
(Back to mine)
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots
Jesus in Vegas, taking care of business
(Vegas, taking care of business)
Jesus in Vegas
(Jesus in Vegas)
I'll pull your goddamn tongue right out by the roots

You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
