VERSURI JOE JACKSON
| Joe Jackson - (Do The) Instant Mash |
| In the supermarket there is music while you work
It drives you crazy, sends you screaming for the
door
Work there for a year or two and you can't get to
like it
I don't work in supermarkets anymore
|
| Joe Jackson - A Slow Song |
| Music has charms they say
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it
Why don't they hold it back
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance |
| Joe Jackson - Awkward Age |
| I should have know that you were only just
fifteen
You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen
Old enough to stand out but to young to stand
with pride
So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin
And the c |
| Joe Jackson - Be My Number Two |
| Won't you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won't be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue
And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy |
| Joe Jackson - Blaze Of Glory |
| Johnny was a young boy
with nothing much except a certain kind of look in
his eye
He was discovered one day - you see he had a
certain kind of appeal
for a certain kind of guy
Who gave him some advice |
| Joe Jackson - Bright Grey |
| She says that he's pouring fuel on the fire
He turns around and calls her a liar
She says i'm trying to reach a higher plan
Someone around here's sane
God only knows if it's you or me
He says that she |
| Joe Jackson - Dirty Martini |
| Two in the morning there's a drink in my hand
(Dirt, dirt, dirty Martini)
Nothing moving the place but sweat
I heard a rumour 'bout a Cajun band
(Dirt, dirt, dirty Martini)
The bartender says it's ear |
| Joe Jackson - Discipline |
| Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first
I'm gonna pump it up
gotta keep my body from falling apart
I gotta keep it up |
| Joe Jackson - Fairy Dust |
| Here
See the little queer
There's a volunteer
Dont you think he should get a haircut now
Like in the Marines
All the magazines
Got a way for everyone to shape up
You don't wanna fall behind
Choking |
| Joe Jackson - Flying |
| The older I get the more stupid I feel
I don't know what's going on
Tired of trying to be strong
When I should be crying
The further I go the less distance I see
Leave behind another home
The harder |
| Joe Jackson - Forty Years |
| (On the 10th anniversary of the end of World War
II)
Here in Berlin - people line up to get in
To wait for the end - living in glorious sin
They've looked around - and now there is no
looking back
To w |
| Joe Jackson - Glamour And Pain |
| I've had that dream again
Where I'm flying thirty feet
Above the street again
Looking though windows, there you are
Sit down to eat again
It's the usual egg foo yung
You watch TV again
Put the kid |
| Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him |
| Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my
street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows
cold
Look over there! (Where?)
There's a lady that I used to know
She's married now, or engaged, o |
| Joe Jackson - Just Because |
| Can't drink the water
Can't breathe the air
Can't hide down in the sewer
'Cause there's crocodiles down there
My hovel needs a barricade
My pants need an alarm
Need some non-alcoholic whiskey
And so |
| Joe Jackson - Love Got Lost |
| Here we go, Monday morning at last
In the land of the brave and the bold
Sunlight is hurting my eyes
But it's on to the glittering prize
There's a rent to pay
Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast
There |
| Joe Jackson - Mood Indigo |
| You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, Go 'long blues.
Always get that mood indigo |
| Joe Jackson - One More Time |
| Tell me one more time as I hold your hand, that
you don't love me
Tell me one more time as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and I'll shout it to the skies
above me
That there was nothing after a |
| Joe Jackson - Precious Time |
| A million tiny lights are strung across the
western sky
They burn to light our mission
But it's just a million lonely hearts
Strung out from never asking why
We burn with blind ambition
I heard somebo |
| Joe Jackson - Pretty Boys |
| Pretty boys - on my TV screen
Teeth so white and hair so clean
Pretty boys - sing and play guitars
Pretty boys get to be big stars
How do you rate my sex appeal from one to ten
Is my image just a bit |
| Joe Jackson - Solitude |
| In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you touch me
With memories that never die |
| Joe Jackson - Stranger Than Fiction |
| Please mister can't you help me try to find my
baby's house
It's three in the morning in the pouring rain
I can't find the house and i forgot the number
But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her
p |
| Joe Jackson - Summer In The City |
| Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewal |
| Joe Jackson - Sunday Papers |
| Mother doesn't go out any more
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside
If you want to know about the bishop and the
a |
| Joe Jackson - Survival |
| Take what you want
But just what you need
For survival
Life's a bitch and then you die
Nothing you can do about it
Anything you steal or buy
You're gonna be leaving here without it
So take what you |
| Joe Jackson - Target |
| Uptown - downtown
No one's fussy I'm a target
Black, white - day, night
No one's fussy I'm a target
Somebody say I'm crazy
Walking in this neighborhood
Say you can't be too careful
But that won't do |
| Joe Jackson - The Bridge |
| Down there in the ashes
There's gold and silver too
Dear sister, I try to share with you
Smug, you said
Take your spoils away
And you broke the bridge on your side
You wither my trouble
And all I dr |
| Joe Jackson - The Human Touch |
| Some say the world is spinning faster
Some say it isn't fast enough
Some people say they've got the answer
and some are scared to say they can't keep up
I read the paper but it still isn't clear
The b |
| Joe Jackson - The Man Who Wrote Danny Boy |
| It happened one night
At three in the morning
The devil appeared in my studio room
And he said I'm your pal
And I'll make you a deal
Blow away your struggle
And I'll take your soul for a toy
After |
| Joe Jackson - The Old Songs |
| There goes another one
Another happy couple on the road to emptiness
I think of my father and mother
Can they imagine how two people can get in this
mess
But the old songs say - love's forever
And the |
| Joe Jackson - Why |
| Why smoke is coming out of ground
Tell me why
My English make an ugly sound
But I try
Why the Empire State Building green
Tell me why
Why house is smell of gasoline
Do I die |
