JC Superstar (5.00 / 1) (#17)
by Stellaaa on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:43:52 PM EST
MARY MAGDALENE

I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

A Strange Thing Mystifying (5.00 / 1) (#47)

Sunday I found myself humming some songs from JC Superstar for no apparent reason, then when I started singing the words too, I realized why.  Not to stretch the point too far, but go back and play the whole record if you have it.  Very amusing in light of what is going on today.

I'll just say I agree. (none / 0) (#60)

And leave it at that.

It's actually held up very well over time.  Sometimes I revisit songs or movies and wonder what I ever saw in them.  JCSuperstar - still good and still sharp.

Really captured the media environment (none / 0) (#77)

of star making/breaking we are in, even though it was written in 1970 or so.  It has just intensified since then.

I didn't 'get' much of that when I loved it as a jr. high-school kid. Just thought it was an interesting way to look at the story of Jesus - I had a progressive nun music teacher that played it to us at Catholic school. Still have my brown double album.

I only ask things I'd ask any Superstar
What is it that you have got that's put you where you are
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better loking each day.
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.
