Personal Jesus Lyrics
Personal
Jesus
Someone who cares
Flesh and bone by the telephone,
lift up the reciever
ill make you a believer
put me to the test,
things on your chest that you need to confess,
I will deliver
You know im a forgiver
Personal
Jesus
Someone who cares
Personal
Jesus
Someone who's there
Flesh and bone by the telephone,
Lift up the reciever,
ill make u a believer
You know im a forgiver
O_o
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"
