Momus – Jesus Was A Loser

From the album ‘MomusMcClymont Two‘ (2014).

Lyrics

The women are all mad for it the men are all the same
They only want the thing they all refuse to name
There’s murder at the terminus, mayhem on the bus
And everywhere coitus is interrupting us

A baby in the hand is like rabies in the bush
And Jesus was a loser, a diamond in the rough

And all the Western idiots in all their Western cars
All the individualists propping up the bars
With all their silly problems and all their silly names
The barman grins and says to him they all sound just the same

A baby in the hand is like rabies in the bush
And Jesus was a loser, a diamond in the rough

And now I see you gag for it, you’re on your knees, you beg
And now I see you stuffed like a herring or a pig
And Jesus was a loser, a diamond in the rough
A baby in the hand is like rabies in the bath

And you are just a puppet on the strings of your desire
Completely incorrect about the things that you require
And all the Western idiots in all their Western cars
All had plenty money in 1924

Who can make an omelette without breaking eggs?
And who can make a human without cracking a few heads?
Your stupid self-indulgence is just feeding the machine
As long as you are selfish everything will stay the same

A baby in the hand is like rabies in the bush
And Jesus was a loser, a diamond in the rough
A shame you never listened to the things he came to say
If you had, we’d never be in the mess we are today
