Personal Jesus Lyrics
Your own (your own)
Personal
Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers,
Someone who cares
Feeling unknown when your all alone,
Flesh and bone by the telephone,
lift up the reciever
ill make you a believer
take second best,
put me to the test,
things on your chest that you need to confess,
I will deliver
You know im a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith x2
Your own (your own)
Personal
Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers,
Someone who cares

I suspect it's not actually about Jesus. Gee.
I can see a few meanings which are a lot more sarcastic and/or perverted/dark. The lightest of these is a church hotline or maybe a psychic hotline - "take second best." The darkest is someone he's calling to arrange a drug sale. "Your own personal Jesus" - something tangible that "will make you a believer" in whatever it is.
Ok. Bitchfest time. PLEASE DON'T BE A LAMEASS AND SAY STUFF LIKE "ill" for "I'll"... "u" for "you".... "im" for "I'm"...ignoring capitalization...."ehar" for "hear" ;)
I can see doing that for a quick chat, but if you're entering lyrics, you've got at least a couple minutes on your hands. Yeah. /Bitchfest
FYI this is a cover of the Depeche Mode song by the same name.
another nugget of info: Marilyn Manson also recently covered this song... also realy good cover.
This song was written about Priscilla Presley's book "Elivs & Me" where she describes their relationship and how for several years he was her father, lover and "quite nearly God"
