Текст песни:

Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slammed delirious
Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath
And it was Saturday night in the year of the good thief

Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way ’round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl
Cried Ella’s in the band but she’s got no soul!
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

Well the night was spent and my money was young
And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung
And everybody danced in the same old way

And if I’m feeling old and desperate I’ll be back some day
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

  • OTM Well, I play where the roses grow I miss how your affection was all I’d ever know Every day like a life well dreamed You were there in pieces, I saw you could be redeemed Darling, it’s no use playing this role It can break your heart, it can split your soul Playing this game makes you hard and cold Let me take these chains and this blindfold Roxy, please don’t go Roxy, please don’t go I swear I’m not here to make you sigh I know the sun leaves you cold and the moon makes you cry When nothing is everything everything is all right I know I’m the one to turn your black white Darling, it’s a crime how you keep yourself safe How you’ve turned this sweet life into your grave Give me just a sign that your heart still beats That you walked your last down these dead end streets Roxy, please don’t go Roxy, please don’t go Darling, it’s no use playing this role It can break your heart it can split your soul Playing this game makes you hard and cold Let me take these chains and this blindfold Roxy, please don’t go Roxy, please don’t go Roxy, please don’t go Roxy, please don’t go
  • Roll out the red carpet, ring the bell Don’t let them see how your days roll by I know you’re real but that’s just as well There’s just no substitute for you and I Bring out your dead, let them jump and shout Pour out your pain til your dogs run free I may be wrong but there’s just no doubt That you’re as precious as a girl can be Though you’ll be the death of me Let the silence be your melody Let this darkness be your light Let your heart break Let your faith shake Open up your eyes and see Everything you are to me Lay down your cross, soften up your mind Call out my name til your tears run dry I may be cruel but you’re just too kind One day you’ll wave all of these tricks goodbye Find yourself a place to die Let the silence be your melody Let this darkness be your light Let your heart break Let your faith shake Open up your eyes and see Everything you are to me Roll my stone Oh won’t you take me home Oh my sweetheart It’s me and me alone I hear all that I need to hear Before Abraham was I am And so the sound of these beating drums Well she’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes
  • Mistress Mabel seriously wrong Clears my table badly then she’s gone Takes a liberty if you let her Yes she’s bold but she should know better Oh dear Mabel please don’t put me on Mistress Mabel all the kids agree You’re unstable curious and free Wind them down and then keep them kickin Sunken eyed and all panic stricken Oh dear mabel it still worries me Hem line rat bag so they told her Last nights name tag across her shoulder And tell me where all the days have gone When you robbed my cradle tell me Mabel Where’d you go when you can’t go on With this filthy fable tell me Mabel Mistress Mabel won’t you marry me? I’m unable to take it seriously I’ll be good and you’ll be a minute I wish you would or I’ll drop you in it Oh dear Mabel won’t you marry me? Hem line rat bag so they told her Last nights name tag across her shoulder, And tell me where all the days have gone When you robbed my cradle tell me Mabel Where’d you go when you can’t go on With this filthy fable tell me Mabel Tell me Mabel tell me Mabel
  • Well she’s halfway over this hard on son She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s quite sure she’s not the only one She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a quiver up her backbone, dogs in the dust She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’ll take what she needs and she’ll do what she must She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya that she’s… One part evil, three-fifths blind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s oh so delicate and still don’t mind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a chance that she knows where the bodies are kept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she still don’t remember the tears that she wept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya now… Well she’s all too generous with my time She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she knows that injustice is no real crime She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And I will always remember the way that she crawled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving When I throw up in the rain she pretends she’s appalled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become
  • There’s a snakeskin bedroom Bang in the middle Of a funny little place called Hell, oh well Everybody there’s got trouble by the dozen It’s a lonely little place to dwell Hope I don’t make the trip through the floor You told me once «I want it but you wanted it more» I know kung fu you know nothing But together we can make it real, good deal Kicking our own way out of every prison With my brains and your high heels Love your myth coupled with your vast ocean Take my eyes as the prize for your devotion Oh take me to El Ray I got this real need to pray Come find me where the vampires All keep their heads on display I’m a new man living in a old skin I’ve been dead to you ever since Berlin Oh teacher I’m restless just say the word And I’ll be blameless Make me a saint I’ll be the voice of restraint I’ll take their bullwhips and stones Without a hint of complaint I met God in Dogtown Isn’t it a funny thing to know you’ve died? Dove’s cried Angels wept just as if I was a brother And sang the blues for my bride I’ve been keeping time in a skeleton soul band Don’t it make your heart just bleed? Indeed Keeping my nose clean hoping I can crash land Back where I’ve got mouths to feed I’ll be home once I’ve paid for my confusion You’ll see me in the fires Of your own disillusion
