Cover Of: Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus...

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Lest We Forget: The Best Of

I've heard the Original of Depeche Mode, and Lolipop Lust Kill's, but Manson's is a great cover

Not a very good cover...Though I'm also not the biggest fan in the world of the original. If you want a really good cover of this song look for the Lollipop Lust Kill one.

The best Manson video is Dope Show, the music video for this song is ok. I haven't heard the original, but it doesn't mean I don't want to hear the original. :-)

I dunno, this song doesn't have much to it. It's just Marilyn Manson singing someone elses song. It's not like Sweet Dreams, where he made it his own.

Manson could do any cover and it would be amazing. For some reason I'm noticing everyday people complaining about the first singles or the numerous singles on the cd's. Personally I think your all dumb because media has corrupted you, and your own guilt for hearing what you only want is fucking shit.

"The best Manson video is Dope Show" Holy shit, I just noticed I said Dope Show. What was I thinking? I meant Dope Hat. Haha. eonblue27, either I read your comment wrong or you actually think Manson is the one who originally did Sweet Dreams. Are you on crack or something? That was a serious question....

hey, i tried 2 bear watching the video, and i noticed that theres a subliminal message in it, during the song, a picture of Hitler, then George W Bush appears, just a bit of pointless knowledge for you there

Manson's getting pretty shitty I find. It's all starting to sound the same (cover or no cover). He needs to start writing some new, good music like his old days.

I think this kinda sucks. He will never pull something of as good as Sweet dreams.

mr.reznor had every intention of covering this song, until manson snatched up it first... to bad trent didn't cover it b/c i would have loved to have heard him singing rather than manson....

the best covers in my opinion are sweet dreams and down in the park. now i just hope this is a final point to this part of manson's carreer. hope one day he decides to make good stuff from now on, just like he used to.

Hmm. It's okay - Manson could have really done more with this, but didn't take it in that direction.

zerospace, if you're referring to the 'access' entry on nin.com, you're evidently unfamiliar with the subtle nuances of sarcasm. "I was really hoping to do something unique and pertinent - like an exact copy of 'Personal Jesus'." Riiight.
