Lyrics for Jack Of All Parades by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Jack Of All Parades | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 94 | | | | Lyrics: | When we first met I didn't know what to do
My old love lines were all worn out on you
And
the world walked round my mouth
They lit me up and they snuffed me out
[chorus]
And I
was everybody's boy
But soon that thrill just fades
To be the love of one true heart
Or the Jack of all parades
You won't know who to thank
You won't know who to
blame
It's just a part of the Murdering Game
'Cos down in the fleshpots
Where they
pay you in pounds
They're laughing like drains
And baying like bloodhounds
For the
Jack of all parades
The Jack of all parades
Once I knew a girl
That looked so
much like Judy Garland
That people would stop and give her money
And everybody was
Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby
Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,
Oh the Jack, the Jack of
all Parades,
Oh the Jack, of all Parades.
Now the way that I feel is no longer news
You know my love and how to refuse it
Cause you know where the door is
And how to use
it
Oh you know you do
But from my chequered past
To this shattered terrace
Where you can't keep your mind off
the Crimes of Paris
And you can't keep your peace
And try to forget it
And I can't forgive you
For things you haven't done yet
Oh I was anybody's boy
But soon that thrill just fades
To be the love of one
true heart
Or the Jack of all parades
When we first met I didn't know what to do
My old love lines were all worn out on you
And the world walked 'round my mouth
I
didn't mean to say it
I just blurted it out
As you pretended not to notice
Or be
taken aback
And I loved y | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
