Jesus Wept.

Hello Humans,

It is the end of September and I am gloriously happy to celebrate this brand new song with you... and give it to your ears.

This little country-punk tune had been noodling around my brain for over a year now trying to come out.

Eventually Jonny and I had a pen and paper session, we twisted through the lyrics and melody and here you go, a song!

But!

It is incomplete.

You'll hear the instrumental section in the middle is somewhat empty.

We're waiting for a solo instrument maybe violin... clarinet... sax... who knows?

But here it is anyway.

When we have the final tracks ready they will sound a little different but here we go.

It's got a juicy chorus that you can sing along to.

---

If you believe in what you’re told
Then Eve was made of Adam’s bones
Oh, Jesus Wept
She walks among the hallowed trees
She is wild and she is free
Oh, Jesus Wept
Was it will or was it fate
To take the apple from the snake
Oh, Jesus Wept
They swallowed it, they called it shame
They sacrifice in mother’s name
Oh, Jesus Wept
CHORUS
Can you climb the Holy Mountain
If you never look back down?
Can you speak the words of justice
If she never makes a sound?
Can you teach the fallen children
When they falter in their steps?
Don’t you know it’s true, they know not what they do
So Lord, Jesus Wept
After the flood, upon the plains
A single tongue for all our names
Oh Jesus wept
We built a spike to pierce the sky
A tower to our desperate pride
Oh Jesus wept
So in a rage he split our tongues
Ties that held us came undone
Oh Jesus wept
Scattered wide we wander far
Under a sheet of callous stars
Oh Jesus Wept
CHORUS
From Nineveh, in shadowed night
Jonah ran from heaven’s light
Oh Jesus Wept
Swept into the whale’s jaw
In the deep he faced the law
Oh Jesus Wept
Three days in the belly’s gloom
He repented for his doom
Oh Jesus Wept
Spat out on the shore he ran
To fulfil the maker’s plan
Oh Jesus Wept

CHORUS
So if you believe in what you’re told
Then make your peace with tainted souls
Oh Jesus Wept
If you’re a servant to your shame
Then raise your hands and twist the name
Oh Jesus Wept
So hide among your solemn sheep
And pray the Lord is yours to keep
Oh Jesus Wept
So pace the field, forgotten lamb
It is not yours to understand
Lord, Jesus Wept
CHORUS

And here's some lovely pics from the last show with the Perils.... where we played Crystal Palace Park. Same stage as Pink Floyd did many moons ago 💜 💜 💜
