What's The Buzz/Strange Things Mystifying Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Apostles
What's the buzz
Tell me what's a-happening

Jesus
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future
Don't you try to think ahead
Save tomorrow for tomorrow
Think about today instead
I could give you facts and figures
I could give you plans and forecasts
Even tell you where I'm going

Apostles
When do we
Ride to Jerusalem?

Jesus
Why should you want to know
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding
You'd understand it less than I

Apostles
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening

Mary Magdalene
Let me try
To cool down your face a bit

Jesus
That feels nice, so nice
Mary, oooh, that is good

While you prattle through your supper
Where and when and who and how
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now

Apostles
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening

Judas
It's a strange thing
Mystifying
That a man like you
Can waste his time
With women of her kind
I can understand that she amuses you
But to let her stroke you
Kiss your hair
Is hardly in your line
It's not that I object
To her profession
But it doesn't seem to square
With what you do or say
It doesn't help
If you're inconsistant
They only need a small excuse
To put us all away

Jesus
Who are you
To criticize her?
Who are you
To despise her?
Leave her, leave her
Let her be now
Leave her, leave her
She's with me now
If your slate is clean
Then you can throw stones
If your slate is not
Then leave her alone!

I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow, thick, and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I come or go

Apostles, except Judas
No you are wrong
You're very wrong
How can you say that!
How can you say that!

Jesus
Not one, not one of you!

It's supposed to be "while you prattle through your stupor," not supper, and "it seems to me a strange thing," and no "you" in "I can understand that she amuses," and "to let her kiss you, stroke your hair," not he other way around. Thank you.

Actually it IS "while you prattle through your supper." Got the original soundtrack here and that's what the lyrics read. The rest is good.

Is it
But it doesn't seem to square
With what you do or say
Or
But it doesnt fit in well
with what you teach and say?

by Macey on 6/29/2008 12:39pm
Actually, Keano, I think it is the 2nd one. I'm not sure though. It also is supper and it is stoke you, kiss your hair.

i agree with Keano and Macey that its the second one - it doesnt fit in well with what you teach and say.
but maybe different actors playing jesus say different things?

I have the original score in my hands right now because I'm doing the production.
1. Its "Supper"
2. Its "Its seems to ME a strange thing.."
3. "But it doesn't fit in well, with what you teach and say"
Hope that helps :)

To GET A LIFE, are you really reading something you�re not interested in? THEN did you go SO FAR as to COMMENT ON IT as to say you care enough to make fun of people who really DO want to pay homage to a beautifully written score? To YOU I say, CHOOSE A LIFE, but don't come here and pee on other peoples. Its just makes you look more like a looser then people who have interest in these things. In ANYTHING. Hope I didn't offend you the way you intended to offend others.
