Jack Of All Parades
Lyricist:Declan Mcmanus
When we first met, I didn't know what to do My old love lines were all worn out on you And the world walked 'round my mouth They lit me up and they snuffed me out
And I was everybody's boy But soon that thrill just fades To be the love of one true heart Or the Jack of all parades
You won't know who to thank You won't know who to blame It's just a part of the murdering game 'Cos down in the fleshpots, where they pay you in pounds They're laughing like drains and baying like bloodhounds
For the Jack of all parades For the Jack of all parades
Once I knew a girl That looked so much like Judy Garland That people would stop and give her money And everybody's friend Jimmy or Bobby
Not the Jack, not the Jack of all parades Oh, the Jack, Jack of all parades Oh, the Jack, of all parades
Well, the way that I feel is no longer news Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You know my love and how to refuse it 'Cause you know where the door is And how to use it, oh, you know you do
But from my chequered past to this shattered terrace Where you can't keep your mind off the crimes in Paris And you can't keep your peace and try to forget it And I can't forgive you for things you haven't done yet
Oh, I was anybody's boy But soon that thrill just fades To be the love of one true heart Or the Jack of all parades
When we first met, I didn't know what to do My old love lines were all worn out on you And the world walked 'round my mouth
I didn't mean to say it, I just blurted it out And you pretended not to notice or be taken a-back And I loved you there and then, it's as simple as that
Oh, I was everybody's boy But soon that thrill just fades To be the love of one true heart Or the Jack of all parades Oh, to be the love of one true heart Or the Jack of all parades Oh, the Jack of all parades
