Murray Head, Brian Keith, Victor Brox, Choir Damned For All Time / Blood Money Lyrics

[JUDAS]
Now if I help you it matters that you see
These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what to do
I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Dammed for all time

I came because I had to I'm the one who saw
Jesus can't control it like he did before
And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Dammed for all time

Annas you're a friend a worldly man and wise
Caiaphas my friend I know you sympathise
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones?
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Dammed for all time
[ANNAS]
Cut the protesting forget the excuses
We want information get up off the floor
[CAIAPHAS]
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements - we know the law
[ANNAS]
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded
[CAIAPHAS]
We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
[ANNAS]
With no crowd around him
[CAIAPHAS]
Then we can't fail

BLOOD MONEY
[JUDAS]
I don't need your blood money!
[CAIAPHAS]
Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good
[JUDAS]
I don't want your blood money!
[ANNAS]
But you might as well take it - we think that you should
[CAIAPHAS]
Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity - give to the poor
We've noted your motives - we've noted your feelings
This isn't blood money - it's a fee nothing
Fee nothing, fee nothing more.
[JUDAS]
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds in the Garden of Gethsemane
[CHOIR]
Well done Judas
Good old Judas
