Eurythmics - Jack Of All Trades lyrics
Your rating:
Jack of all trades master of none Even got lost trying to find the M1 Ended up in South Shields with a couple of drunks Moved to Crouch End suburb of cool Took a few drugs acted the fool Fell in love with a girl on her harmonium stool Went round the world in the back of a van We kept in touch with our only fan He was short and sweet lived in Japan The band broke up round a pool in Bangkok To tell you the truth it didn't come as a shock Our days were numbered like hands on a clock So we carried on me and the serious girl Had massive hits all round the world We got so big we both became ill Flew into London with a bit of a tan Caught the train back to Sunderland to see me old man We had bacon and eggs from the same frying pan To walk down the high street Avoiding a scrap "are you Dave Stewart?" "yeah" :you're a crap" Had a pint in the Beehive then home for a nap Got married in France to an Irish colleen I was thirty three she was only thirteen I wore orange but she wore green Now I sit and write plays for myself and my sons They keep me amused yeah I have much more fun Than big lines of speed at quarter to one On a peaceful Sunday morning
