Текст песни:

[Verse 1: Jon Fratelli]
Pull me up a chair and keep your money, there's no guarantees
Won’t you please forgive me but you know cold blooded women make me sneeze
And I’ll kick you out the door if for just one minute you lie
And they’ll come crashing through the wall and leave you crawling til’ the minute you die
Pour yourself a drink or three and maybe we’ll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment but I love the way your clothes are never in style
Livings much too easy, dying would be some kind of bore
Well, you swear that you’re original but I know I’ve seen those jealous eyes before

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And will not miss you when you go
[Verse 2]
Tear another hole in my brown shoes and we can all sleep for a while
Well I told you once before, I love your braces and your hesitant smile
But please don’t get me wrong, it's only right that you can stamp on my heart
Well I’ve seen you and your friends some place, you know I just can’t tell you apart

[Refrain]
And though they'll hunt you like a dog they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money stacked up, twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar, they will not miss you when you go

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days, and they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far, though it’s far away from me
Look me up when you get home and maybe then we'll see

[Outro]
Though they’ll hunt you like a dog, they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys from every bar
Well, they’ll miss you when you’re gone
You can tell a heady tale
And we'll all keep screaming on
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la

  • Well I met her in a bar, the men with big guitars were playin And I listened with my ears but I couldn’t hear what she was sayin And I guess she talked with her mind But didn’t want to seem to unkind so I just laughed And kept my eyes peeled to the door………. Wondering what I was there for But it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright, it’s alright I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable And I guess she would’ve given me an answer if only she was able And she danced like a medicine man Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me She wanted to change my point of view Asked me where I was going to Well she whispered in my ear we got to get us out of here to the country I asked her for a ride she took me aside said «try me» I thought I’m gonna wake pretty soon In the middle of a Sunday afternoon just dreamin And it was warm in the back of her van When she made me a real man
  • Well she said I know, but I just can’t tell Everything that you’ve just been saying Lucy was there as well in the dark When the kids in the band were playing No one can hear a word or tell What the girl was singing See, she must’ve been 16 or 18 I’m just past caring She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was busting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day You’re not pleased that you’re easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girls sang La la la la and she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don’t miss And she said, I can’t love you any more than this Ah, she said, she said, no, no, no, no Oh then again, yes, why don’t you kill me I said when I’m messed up like this Sweetheart you know that don’t thrill me Said I would’ve been there for you if you’d just been a little bit nicer I was dead by Sunday half dead, scared just trying to please her She was getting me pills when I was into her best friend She was chasing the thrills And living down at the West End She was pretty in braces I lived under of her window She said, take me to London Tell me something I don’t know And all the while the girls sang La la la la and she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don’t miss And she said, I can’t love you any more than this She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was busting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day You’re not pleased that you’re easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girls sang La, la, la, la, and she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don’t miss And she said I don’t like you, you can’t stand me I can’t love you anymore than this
  • Whistle for the boys now don’t be shy Give us all a song and a reason why Baby got the bones and a hand me down Says her heart is black but her eyes are brown Give the boys a flash and they’ll love you so Give the girl some cash cause your mother said so And take em out to look at the queen And any old girl who’s in between Lay yourself down by the side of the bed Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red You look so dumb and you sound so twee And you can only wish that you was married to me Well, that’s what you get Oh don’t get upset Ridiculous you Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo You could have been The best that I’ve seen Under the red light Everybody knows you cried last night Give us all a go till your face turns red Little Greg said you went home instead If you stick around you’ll get an alibi And we’ll try and keep your pretty face bone dry Rent a honey rent a honey one two three Chasing all the boys from your door cant be easy Well ruby said you was wrecked But your was never well behaved the last time I checked Lay yourself down by the side of the bed Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red You look so dumb and you sound so twee And you can only wish that you was married to me Well that’s what you get Oh don’t get upset Ridiculous you Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo You could have been The best that I’ve seen Under the red light every body knows you cried last night Lay yourself down by the side of the bed Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red You look so dumb and you sound so twee You can only wish that you were married to me Well that’s what you get Oh don’t get upset Ridiculous you Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo You could have been The best that I’ve seen Under the red light Everybody knows you cried last night Everybody knows you cried last night
  • Come now honey I may be just a fool, but I’ve got my principles I’m unlucky You may be alive but you’re not invincible It’s just blindness Kicking up a fuss and it’s not for the first time Oh your highness Someone musta told ya you once were a friend of mine I’ve never been shy but I’ve kept my head down Oh oh oh Knowing about enough to get by this old ghost town Oh oh oh Put on your best dress I’ll take you dancing under the street lights Oh you’re charmless You ain’t too pretty but I’ve seen ya tonight It’s just kindness I was brought up well and I won’t leave you crying Oh your highness You ain’t too bright but as long as you’re trying I’ll do my best to keep my head down Oh oh oh Putting my brains to the test in this old ghost town Oh oh oh I’ve never been shy but I’ve kept my head down Oh oh oh Knowing about enough to get by this old ghost town Oh oh oh I’ll do my best to keep my head down Oh oh oh Putting my brains to the test this in old ghost town Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
  • Saw the night give way Where the light was golden So I took my leave Of all that I was holding Darling come the day When your nightmares fall I’ll be on that first plane home And we’ll outrun them all Well I guess it’s sweet We still live like strangers in the street It’s the cruelest thing When the word is spoken I swear it’s a sin To see you heartbroken Darling come the day It’s too much to breathe I’ll hold this space for you And I won’t let you leave I will keep the beat We’ll still move like strangers in the street Darling come the time When you slip away I’ll be that whispered word That hangs around your doorway Our tale complete We’ll still dance like strangers in the street
