About This Track

From her 1975 album Horses. This is based on the Morrison tune, but its lyrics are reinvented for the nascent punk rock movement, retaining only the chorus, and adding possibly ironic allusions to the sacred versions. It memorably begins, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins / But not mine”.
which was later adopted as a slogan by the band Crass

    "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine" First verse, and already you get to know that Patti is pure genius. [5]

    Best opening line in the history of rock & roll.

    This is one of the most stirring and triumphant performances ever captured on vinyl in the history of rock and roll. "Horses" has been one of my all-time favorite albums for maybe 20 years, and the song still gives me shivers.

    A perfect and essential song. Patti Smith's legend might have been much bigger if she hadn't taken most of a decade off in her prime years. She's still great onstage, in her 60's.

    Damn. To this day I still get chills when I hear the opening verse! If you haven't read her poem "Oath" you must check it out (it contains the first couple lines in "Gloria").
