This song is the last track on the Vaselines' second EP, Dying For It, released in 1988.
The band experienced a boost in popularity after 90’s grunge band Nirvana covered this song, along with track two on the aforementioned EP, “Molly’s Lips”, most famously on MTV Unplugged.
[Verse]
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die
For thee...
