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
Talk with me in your vacant tones
Take my heart in your bare hands, keep it beating
I never wanted anything but this
I never saw myself fading or repeating
So help me God I was sold
A promise from a liar
Religion for a blindfold
Work it out
Work it out
Give me silver, give me gold
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Stay with me til my talk gets strange
Stay with me til my eyes get low and heavy
I know this and this only as myself
I’ll sing that melody when I’m good and ready
So help me God I was sold
A promise from a liar
Religion for a blindfold
Work it out
Work it out
Give me silver, give me gold
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Work it out
Work it out
Take me high, break me down
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Hold me close
Let me go
This is all I need to know
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Kneel down
Make no sound
Here comes your last time around
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Take the smile
Off your lips
Where you go when time just slips
Well here lie the remains Of every girl I’ve loved The princesses of heaven and hell Who thought they knew me well There goes my wishbone Here comes my crooked friend Screaming at you I was dead True right down to the end I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can Well here lies Mother Brown She always looked so young I was never too easy to please Always on my knees Well there goes my last hope Here comes my bullet train Shooting the hole in my head On the wrong right side of my brain I was getting ready I was shaking I was steady I was pleading to be left alive Well I was digging for the gold Just waiting to be told That my cheating heart would survive I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can Well here lie the remains of Celine and Lady Death A romance stringed up in a hole Another uneven soul There goes my last wish Here comes my audience Pitchforks pointing my way And it’s no coincidence I was in a bind Of the body and the mind And my mother was the last to know When I told her I was rotten I was better off forgotten And she never even said no, no, no, no, no I was never thick But the thought it wouldn’t click So I never had the best excuse You couldn’t say that I was best So they put me to the test With a never ending soul abuse I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can I was getting ready I was shaking I was steady I was pleading to be left alive Well I was digging for the gold Just waiting to be told That my cheating heart would survive
Well she’s made of fire and she’s made of wind She can take you higher but she’s not your friend She don’t beg, crawl, rise, fall Well she’s in no doubt that she just can’t lose She got no way out, she’s no one’s muse She don’t need, pray, bleed Gets the job done any old way No one ever told her that the world was under her skin She goes to sleep in every place you know you never have been Turn yourself around and she won’t be there You just won’t see her cause she just don’t care Change you name and bury your dead Leave some space for her in your head Well she’s in no doubt that she just can’t lose She got now way out, she’s no one’s muse She don’t need, pray, bleed Gets the job done any old way No one ever told her that the world was under her skin She goes to sleep in every place that you know you never have been Turn yourself around and she won’t be there You just won’t see her cause she just don’t care Change your name and bury your dead Leave some space for her in your head Throw away your rights and wrongs leave them in the dust Forget the day that you were born she’ll take whatever she must Well she’s made of fire and she’s made of wind She can take you higher but she’s not your friend She don’t beg, crawl, rise, fall Well she’s in no doubt that she just can’t lose She got no way out, she’s no one’s muse She don’t need, pray, bleed Gets the job done any old way No one ever told her that the world was under her skin She goes to sleep in every place you know you never have been Turn yourself around and she won’t be there You just won’t see her cause she just don’t care Change your name and bury your dead Leave some space for her in your head Throw away your rights and wrongs leave them in the dust Forget the day that you were born she’ll take whatever she must Take whatever she must Take whatever she must
Well let me tell you something
Let me tell you so
This could be the one thing
That you really need to know
You gotta stop once in a while
And shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy
Oh it just comes free
You could sing it better
If you sing for me, oh sister
Well I cannot claim
This advice as my own
I learnt it in the gutter
One night crawling home
She said don't you look rediculous
I checked her out meticulously
And I would've stopped to argue
But my teeth were broke
I said I'd love to condradict you
But my life's a joke, oh sister
And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get it right today
And you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
Some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
Well I'm a lucky man
But maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation
It's a crazy my occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her
I was bound to call
I really didn't wanna miss a single thing at all
Oh sister
And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get it right today
And you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
Some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get a ride today
And you may be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
Some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
I haven't seen her lately
Well, I'll have to ring her
Put your hands together for the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
