And......here's the lyrics........
BABYBIRD LYRICS || Song: Jesus Stag Night Club
Discuss. Me personally? I think it's a great song. Especially the reasons that it was written.
A controversial song by the British indie band Babybird and Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is triggering outrage with Christian groups.
The song, entitled Jesus Stag Night Club, features Depp contributing vocals to a tune about teens who hire a Jesus look-alike to organize a bachelor party. The song portrays Jesus as a booze-chugging man who also steals cars.
Some of the lyrics include, "I can't remember where I was last night/Think I was hanging naked off a church spire/Tied by my ankles to a weather vane/Felt like I was Jesus on fire.
Lee Douglas, a spokesperson for The Christian Coalition, tells the British newspaper The Daily Star, "I'm sure he thinks he's being very funny but he's simply a disgrace. One day, Johnny Depp and his cronies will face the judgment of our Lord and they will burn in hell for this filth."
Stephen Jones, the lead singer of Babybird recently addressed the controversy when he tweeted, "Christians go to heaven. Sinners go to hell. This is their message of peace. Oh yes and gays can f**k off too. It's a beautiful world, Jesus."
Jones also spoke to E! News saying, "The Bible is the greatest fiction book of all time," adding, "I was in a Days Inn hotel room last year and in the bedside drawer was the Book of Mormon. But the second 'M' had been scraped off, so that immediately got my interest, and once I delved in, the lyrics for 'Jesus Stag Night' just flowed out of me as though the Lord himself has touched me in my secret place.
Depp played guitar on a Babybird single last year and also directed one of the band's videos. Depp has not commented on the song controversy.

And......here's the lyrics........
Saw a man in a bar with his hair like a lady
Bloody thorns 'round his ears like he was a crazy
He had holes in his hands and a cross for a spine
Crushed a berry in his Perrier and called it wine
He said, "There's great sadness in life, but don't sit there and blub:
Here's some tickets for your friends to the Jesus Stag Night Club!"
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was hanging naked off a church spire
Tied by my ankles to a weathervane
Felt like I was Jesus on fire
Cuffed to the bumper of a big truck
I begged my dad (?) to take me to a strip bar
Drank kerosene slammers through my eyeballs
Drove myself home in a stolen car
Turn a bird upside down and it lies in your fingers like a dead man
When you throw it in the air it's resurrected from your hand
We went to a motel, he showed me his Bible
I said, "Tell me the truth," while he looked me in the eyeball
He said, "There's great happiness in life but don't just sit there in love:
Here's some tickets for your friends to the Jesus Stag Night Club!"
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was getting on a night bus
Lyin' on the laps of my good friends
Judas Priest and Lazarus
I'm getting married in the big bad morning
But it feels like I'm giving birth
I feel so happy I could scream
"This is my last few seconds on Earth"
Saw a man in the street lying on the floor beaten up
He had a fish finger sandwich and a yellow M coffee cup
I bent down drunk and tried to pick him up
But when I turned around I could see it was Jesus
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was hanging on a church spire
Tied by my ankles to a weathervane
Felt like I was Jesus on fire
Cuffed to the bumper of a big truck
I begged my dad to take me to a strip bar
Drank kerosene slammers through my eyeballs
Drove myself home in a stolen car
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was getting on a night bus
Lyin' on the laps of my good friends
Judas Priest and Lazarus
I'm getting married in the big bad morning
But it feels like I'm giving birth
I feel so happy I could scream
"This is my last few seconds on Earth!"
