Song information
A Tom Waits tune, with a (final and post-final) twist ! James plays trumpet, I played everything else, and this song wouldn't be the same without Petra and John G Kane helping me for the closing choir... Hope you'll like it. It's probably a blues thing, but maybe not... I dont know !

Lyrics
I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
But I know Jesus loves me
maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
that's suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
that can pick me up
It's better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
can satisfy my soul

When the weather gets rough
and it's whiskey in the shade
it's best to wrap your savior
up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
but that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
for a nice parfait...

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
good enough for me

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Sounds pretty cool.   Great production and playing, as well as everything else.    The trumpet in the middle is an attention grabber.

Love Tom Waits!
What a genius he is!
Your version taps right into the heart and soul of his work. 
It's almost as though this is an original piece!
Well done to all three of you!
Keep up your brilliant collection of work mate! 
You've got a huge fan here!!!!!

Maybe blues, but more of a Dylan "thing", awesome!
James is killing it as usual on the muted horn, nice!!
When Petra jumps in, the whole thing soars!
Then the cool subdued outro, cool!
Bravo!
