Graham Parker - Joe Meek's Blues Lyrics
Pre>capo at 2GMy head was swimming in a bangkok jointEmYou got paint on your coat like an arrow pointDI followed where it led as if pulled by a bowC am dFired into the night deep and slow to where Ill never knowThe hotel was dark as we made our arrivalWaiting breathlessly for the joe meek revivalBut it didnt stand any chance of survivalYou know joe had an american rivalPoor old joe, poor old joeEm gIt takes a leap of faith,Am am7To pull the trigger on the world youre accustomed toAm am7You might as well take out the landlady tooCIts only a small thing to chooseEm c am em c am dChorus just like joe meeks blues, just like joe meeks bluesIts a twisted world so lets twist againTheres a bass drum sound going round in my brainA cat communicates with an artichokeLord sutch delivers a homophobe jokeHeinz gets his nose chewed againSo you turned up in leon with very little luggageStarted talking in a foreign languageI tied two beds together with a strap from my bagEveryone was dressed in whiteBut you were dressed in blackDressed in black againPull the trigger on the world youre accustomed toYou might as well save a bullet for me too a footnote in tomorrows newsChorus repeat twice then f d f dBack in london and it didnt even rainThe joe meek revival was happening againBut the clocks went forward and the revival got chokedBritish summertime came like a cruel jokeYou went back dressed in blackIt takes a leap of faithTo really go for something right out of the blueSure we might have torn each others hair out by the rootsAnd recorded it on two track tapeChorus repeat three times with variations end on ooh/pre>
