Elvis Costello - Jack Of All Parades Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When we first met I didnt know what to do
  • My old love lines were all worn out on you
  • And the world walked round at my mouth
  • They lit me up and they snuffed me out
  • [chorus]
  • And I was everybodys boy
  • But soon that thrill just fades
  • To be the love of one true heart
  • Or the jack of all parades
  • You wont know who to thank
  • You wont know who to blame
  • Its just a part of the murdering game
  • cos down in the fleshpots
  • Where they pay you in pounds
  • Theyre laughing like drains
  • And baying like bloodhounds
  • For the jack of all parades
  • 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 was frankie, jimmy or bobby
  • Not the jack, the jack of all parades,
  • Oh the jack, the jack of all parades,
  • Oh the jack, of all parades.
  • Now the way that I feel is no longer news
  • 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 cant keep your mind off
  • The crimes of paris
  • And you cant keep your peace
  • And try to forget it
  • And I cant forgive you
  • For things you havent done yet
  • Oh I was anybodys 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 didnt know what to do
  • My old love lines were all worn out on you
  • And the world walked round my mouth
  • I didnt mean to say it
  • I just blurted it out
  • As you pretended not to notice
  • Or be taken aback
  • And I loved you there and then
  • Its as simple as that
  • Oh I was everybodys boy
  • But soon that thrill just fades
  • To be the love of one true heart
  • Or the jack of all parades
  • To be the love of one true heart
  • Or the jack of all parades
  • Oh the jack of all parades
