Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story songtekst

Je score:

standing in front of my mirror
 Combed my hair in a thousand ways
 but I came out looking just the same

 Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
 I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
 But remember one thing don't lose your head
 to a woman that'll spend your bread"
 So I got out

 Paris was a place you could hide away
 if you felt you didn't fit in
 French police wouldn't give me no peace
 They claimed I was a nasty person
 Down along the Left Bank minding my own
 Was knocked down by a human stampede
 Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
 when all I wanted was a cup of tea
 I was accused
 I moved on

 Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
 of the things that keeps a young man alive
 My body stunk but I kept my funk
 at a time when I was right out of luck
 Getting desperate indeed I was
 Looking like a tourist attraction
 Oh my dear I better get out of here
 'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
 I wasn't ready for that, no no

 I moved right out east yeah!
 On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
 sailing on my way back here
 I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
 by the light of an eastern moon
 Shangai Lil never used the pill
 She claimed that it just ain't natural
 She took me up on deck and bit my neck
 Oh people I was glad I found her
 Oh yeah I was glad I found her

 I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
 I sincerely thought I was so complete
 Look how wrong you can be

 The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
 They wouldn't give you the time of day
 But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
 God I was glad I found her
 And if they had the words I could tell to you
 to help you on the way down the road
 I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
 'cause it's all been said before
 Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
 You didn't have to come here anyway
 So remember, every picture tells a story don't it
