Chuck Prophet - “Jesus Was a Social Drinker” (Official Audio)

[@boohooluo]

My discovery of the day ! Thank you, to my public radio for turning me on to Chuck Prophet. I ran to You Tube to do my research, thank you you tube.....I can't stop singing the song.

OMG, Chuck Prophet, you are writing the BEST lyrics ever! Pure genius. And you are an all round decent dude as well, just like Jesus, man.

Now Jesus was a social drinker He never drank alone He never partied at a strip club Keeping his woman up at home Or overstayed his welcome Or threw up in your sink Nah, Jesus was never late to work, man And he always pulled his weight So tell you where it hurts And I'll tell you what to feel Wash me in the water mama And I'll wash you in the water Now, Jesus he was cool He could take or leave the stuff And if he got too loose Well then he knew he'd had enough Jesus wasn't Irish Just imagine if he was He might have written poetry and verse And enjoyed a pint of Guinness every day for lunch So tell you where it hurts And I'll tell you what to feel Wash me in the water mama And I'll wash you in the water He never had a laptop A spiral notebook or even a pen But he wrote a best-selling novel, yes he did Disappeared and was never heard from again He was an all-around decent dude But he had his share of rough nights And the more I learn about him Well, the more respect I have for the guy So tell you where it hurts And I'll tell you want to feel Wash me in the water mama And I'll wash you in the water Tell you where it hurts And I'll tell you what to feel Wash me in the water Come on, wash me in the water

Chuck Prophet! cuando yo aprendía a tocar fué una gran inspiración escuchando su magistral guitarra en "Green on red", aún tengo esos vinilos, gran músico, me alegra saber que sigue creando música buenísima.

What a discovery - I love this - the last third of the song is like a combination of great new wave and moody blues

Love the "wash you in the water" part where he pushes the Randy Newman-ish vibe.
