jesus he knows me

• phil collins'li döneminden bir genesis parçası. gayet güzeldir evet.
• hatta güzel de bir klibi vardı, banknotlar vs. üzerine kurulmuş.
• genesis'in televangelism'le dalga geçtiği şarkı.
• artık neredeyse unutulmuş olmasından büyük üzüntü duyduğum, ortaokulda fanatiği olduğum şarkı. geçen gece gölgede çaldığında deli gibi sevindim ama fark ettim ki benden başka eşlik eden yok. ya en sarhoş bendim, ya da bu şarkı hak ettiği şöhrete sahip değil. yazık... sevelim, sevdirelim.
• genesis'in tv'deki din tacirlerini itin gotune soktugu pek eglenceli bir $arki.
  klibi harikadir. phil collins'in ba$ta ve sonda "touch the screen, touch the screen" diye bagiri$i unutulmaz.

• genesis'in the way we walk the shorts canlı performans albümünde şu sözler de geçmektedir.
  
  "now i believe, that the lord came to me
  he said "get me eighteen million dollars by the weekend"
  so that i may build that theme park for the lord
  so that i may put gasoline into all of my limosenes... for the lord
  would i lie to you?
  everything is gonna be all right!"^*
• you see the face on the tv screen
  coming at you every sunday
  see that face on the billboard
  that man is me
  
  on the cover of the magazine
  there's no question why im smiling
  you buy a piece of paradise
  you buy a piece of me
  
  i'll get you everything you wanted
  i'll get you everything you need
  don't need to believe in hereafter
  just believe in me
  
  cos jesus he knows me
  and he knows i'm right
  i've been talking to jesus all my life
  oh yes he knows me
  and he knows im right
  and he's been telling me
  everything is alright
  
  i believe in the family
  with my ever loving wife beside me
  but she don't know about my girlfriend
  or the man i met last night
  
  do you believe in god
  cos that's what i'm selling
  and if you wanna get to heaven
  i'll see you right
  
  you won't even have to leave your house
  or get outta your chair
  you don't even have to touch that dial
  cos i'm everywhere
  
  and jesus he knows me
  and he knows im right
  i've been talking to jesus all my life
  oh yes he knows me
  and he knows i'm right
  well he's been telling me
  everything's gonna be alright
  
  won't find me practising what im preaching
  won't find me making no sacrifice
  but i can get you a pocketful of miracles
  if you promise to be good, try to be nice
  god will take good care of you
  just do as i say, don't do as i do
  
  i'm counting my blessings,
  i've found true happiness
  cos im getting richer, day by day
  you can find me in the phone book,
  just call my toll free number
  you can do it anyway you want
  just do it right away
  
  there'll be no doubt in your mind
  you'll believe everything im saying
  if you wanna get closer to him
  get on your knees and start paying
  
  cos jesus he knows me
  and he knows i'm right
  ive been talking to jesus all my life
  oh yes he knows me
  and he knows i'm right
  well he's been telling me
  everything's gonna be alright, alright
  
  jesus he knows me
  jesus he knows me, you know...
• (bkz: isa ile konustum haberler iyi)
• yıllar sonra llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll sayesinde sourberry de duyup çılgınca dansetmeme sebep olmuş müthiş şarkı.
• sadece ortasındaki 20 saniyelik eğlenceli bölüm için dinlediğim genesis şarkısı..video klipte bu bölümde ritme uygun olarak mevsim birden yaz olur, havuz kenarı, barbekü partileri.. ortamları vardır.
  
  "keşke biraz daha uzatsalardı" dediğim bölümün sözleri şöyle:
  
  won't find me practising what im preaching
  won't find me making no sacrifice
  but i can get you a pocketful of miracles
  if you promise to be good, try to be nice
  god will take good care of you
  just do as i say, don't do as i do
