Marc Almond - Old Jack's Charms Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It was in the tattoo parlour
  • Where he engraved their names
  • Words a winding round his shoulders
  • Reminders now hes older
  • In the magic of the parlour
  • Down his arm unwinds a story
  • Love and hate and mum and dad
  • In flames of hope and glory
  • A mermaid and a schooner
  • Tells us he was once at sea
  • A heart pierced by an arrow
  • Tells us once more in love was he
  • And a dragon spitting fire
  • Hes forgotten what thats for
  • But tattooed on his mind
  • Is a reminder of the war
  • He gave up tattooing lovers
  • Where no room for any others
  • A line through every sweetheart
  • With another etched below
  • In every port a stormy girl
  • They loved him and they loved him so
  • Each one for all to see adorned
  • With cupids and with bows
  • A mermaid and a schooner
  • Tells us he was once at sea
  • A heart pierced by an arrow
  • Tells us once more in love was he
  • And a dragon spitting fire
  • Hes forgotten what thats for
  • But tattooed on his mind is a reminder of war
  • In the magic of the parlour
  • Swapping laughter swapping stories
  • Where the words are often hard
  • And the air is always blue
  • He remembers all his mates from then
  • He lost a couple maybe ten
  • Their headstone on his forearm as a crucifix tattoo
  • Now he leans upon the bar
  • With a mysterious air
  • And the ladies gather round
  • To view his decorated arms
  • Hell tell them of each scroll and line
  • And other scars not so fine
  • And they always want to see
  • A little more of old jacks charms
  • A mermaid and a schooner ...
