4.Jack Of All Parades
Lyricist:Declan Mcmanus
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
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
For 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's friend Jimmy or Bobby
Not the Jack, not the Jack of all parades
Oh, the Jack, Jack of all parades
Oh, the Jack, of all parades
Well, 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 in 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
And you pretended not to notice or be taken a-back
And I loved you there and then, it's as simple as that
Oh, 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
Oh, to be the love of one true heart
Or the Jack of all parades
Oh, the Jack of all parades
