Ian Gillan - Jesus Christ Superstar: Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)
*Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock Opera (libretto by Tim Rice) “Jesus Christ is a Superstar“, which has become a classic of world music. The role of Jesus Christ was played by Ian Gillan. In 1973, the film “Jesus Christ — Superstar“ was released, but in this version of the work, the role of Jesus Christ was played by Ted Neely, since Gillan, who had a busy tour schedule with Deep Purple, set too high requirements for his participation.
*Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don’t want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me
I have changed
I’m not as sure, as when we started
Then, I was inspired
Now, I’m sad and tired
Listen, surely I’ve exceeded expectations
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I’d want to know, I’d want to know, my God
I’d want to know, I’d want to know, my God
Want to see, I’d want to see, my God
Want to see, I’d want to see, my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I’ve said and done matter any more?
I’d have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Have to see, I’d have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I’d have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
I’d have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Why should I die? Oh why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there’s a reason for your wanting me to die
You’re far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why
Alright, I’ll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Just watch me die!
Then I was inspired
Now, I’m sad and tired
After all, I’ve tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started — I didn’t start it
God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me
Take me, now!
Before I change my mind
