I am someone who truly loves Jesus Christ Superstar, but:
Pilate: "Then you're a King!"Christ: "It's you that say I am.I look for truth, and find that I get damned!"
"Always thought that I'd be an apostle,Knew that I would make it if I tried,Then when we'd retire, we could write the Gospels,so they'll all talk about us when we died..."
"Teaching me to die like that, was that a mistake or,did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?"
Rice did the lyrics to Rick Wakeman's 1984, another album I've been listening to (don't ask). On amazon.com, I think some of the reviews say something along the lines of "Well, at least Wakeman got a good lyricist this time, like Tim Rice." Sample:
"We've stripped war down to essentialWe don't waste no time or flesh,Beautiful is our destructionClean and fresh!
You don't have to follow leadersYou don't have to choose a sideNo opinions volunteered by the millions,Who died"
At least there's entertainment value in that it's Chaka Khan singing it (ha ha), but still...Orwell, be proud.

(Maybe that was somebody else, though. I get those Disney guys mixed up.)

But I never knew Tell Me On A Sunday was Don Black! That would have been my main defense too :(

I guess trying to shoehorn "on all fours" into that would have been crass even for Tim.

As somebody mentioned in the "Chess" thread, "I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine" is pretty great.
