Marc Almond - Jacky Lyrics
And if one day I should becomeA singer with a spanish bumWho sings for women of great virtueId sing to them with a guitarI borrowed from a coffee barWell, what you dont know doesnt hurt youMy name would be antonioAnd all my bridges I would burnAnd when I gave them some theyd knowId expect something in returnId have to get drunk every nightAnd talk about virilityWith some old grandmotherThat might be decked out like a christmas treeAnd no pink elephant Id seeThough Id be drunk as I could beStill I would sing my song to meAbout the time they called me jackyIf I could be for only an hourIf I could be for an hour every dayIf I could be for just one little hourCute in a stupid ass wayAnd if I joined the social whirlBecame procurer of young girlsThen I could have my own bordellosMy record would be number oneAnd Id sell records by the tonAll sung by many other fellowsMy name would then be handsome jackAnd Id sell boats of opiumWhisky that came from twickenhamAuthentic queensAnd phoney virginsId have a bank on every fingerA finger in every countryAnd every country ruled by meId still know where Id want to beLocked up inside my opium denSurrounded by some china menId sing the song that I sang thenAbout the time they called me jackyIf I could be for only an hourIf I could be for an hour every dayIf I could be for just one little hourCute in a stupid ass wayNow, tell me, wouldnt it be niceThat if one day in paradiseId sing for all the ladies up thereAnd they would sing along with meAnd we be so happy there to becos down below is really nowhereMy name would then be jupiterThen I would know where I was goingBecome all knowingMy beard so very long and flowingIf I could play deaf, dumb and blindBecause I pitied all mankindAnd broke my heart to make things rightI know that every single nightWhen my angelic work was throughThe angels and the devil tooCould sing my childhood song to meAbout the time they called me jackyIf I could be for only an hourIf I could be for an hour every dayIf I could be for just one little hourCute in a stupid ass way
