Jesus On The Radio Lyrics
5 a.m. march 16
jesus on the radio
you took a photograph of me
on your yellow bucket seat
it's too high it's too wide
you're so low you don't know
to get through to go around
so don't look back
there ain't nothing there to see
was once like you
can't say i recognize that face
in that picture that you keep
it's too high it's too wide
you're so low you don't know
to get through to go around
to get through to go around
jesus on the radio
you took a photograph of me
on your yellow bucket seat
it's too high it's too wide
you're so low you don't know
to get through to go around
there ain't nothing there to see
was once like you
can't say i recognize that face
in that picture that you keep
you're so low you don't know
to get through to go around
to get through to go around

Im not taking a guess.. i just wonder if they were jewish they shouldnt be mentioning Jesus.. i dont rele know what they mean, its a puzzle to me
I dare someone to take a guess at what this song means.
I'm not sure what this one's about but it's definitely a Guster classic. They need to jam this song out a little more I think. The banjo is a nice touch.
when i saw these guys last fall they played this comepletely unplugged and acoustic on the edge of the stage. it was crazy. : )
"Im not taking a guess.. i just wonder if they were jewish they shouldnt be mentioning Jesus.. i dont rele know what they mean, its a puzzle to me"
I'm sorry... but this I just can't believe. It's not like Jews aren't allowed to talk about Jesus. Seriously- I'm Jewish, and I can talk about Jesus as much as I damn well please! :]
Someone should ask Joe and Ryan!!!!
I dont think the jesus part has anything to do with the actual meaning of the song, since the working title was "singing with the radio" I think they just put the jesus in the continue being ironic like they like to do As for the song, I think its about someone who has sunk to a low point in their life and is looking back at who they used to be.
I think I've finally figured this song out, and like that person above me with all the toggle caps said, I don't think it's got much of anything to do with Jesus. That's just sort of painting a background picture of the setting.
I'm picturing this guy looking back on a road trip with a friend a few years ago. Now he's changed ("can't say I recognize that face" --in the photograph of HIM), and he's grown apart from the friend (or gf, if you prefer), and the distance between them now is "too high, too wide, to get through," etc.
Personally, I'm thinking that he is in a better, not worse, place than he used to be, but I can't exactly figure out why I think that.
rigil...im not saying that you cant talk about Jesus, but why would you talk about him if you do not believe in him? What could you possibly say?
Most Jews (and probaly plenty of other non-Christians as well) believe that Jesus existed. They just don't believe that he was the son of God and all that.
Anyway, regardless of one's personal beliefs, the idea of Jesus obviously plays a huge role in shaping the society and the culture that we ALL live in.
And according to your logic, no one over the age of 6 or so should be writing songs about Santa Claus.
