Babyshambles

You talk, you talk a good game
I wish I could talk the same
And a song is just a game
I'm getting good at cheating

That's how you talk
Ah yes, you talk a good game
Won't you teach me the same?
I would love to explain
I love to show your hand and all about

Oh well, I know, I know, I know
I know it's wrong and so and so
So what, I suppose it's got to go out

I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light
Light behind your eyes

Well, you talk, you talk a good game
I wish I could talk the same
And a song is just a game
I'm getting good at cheating

? Utah, remember Utah in the rain
And those little red shoes
And some kid with the blues
Who gets right on your tits
You just grin and bear it

Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I know it's wrong and so and so and so
And so it's got to go out

I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
I'm looking for the light
Light behind your eyes

Bevan, he drops stones from heaven
L O are D forever
And the love, the love behind your eyes

You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game

Well, I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light
Behind your eyes

Bevan, he drops stones from heaven
L O are D forever
And the love behind your eyes

I model lackluster panicky in vain search for the remedy
No words only melody come so I take my day off my love
My love she sits with me, I love, I love her company
Raindrops on roses and dust filled trinkets

All this washes over you, my French dog blues
Chien Bleu Chien französicher Hund
And the French dog blues
And the French dog blues by the French dog blues

Never surrender to flattery
Frown on, come down on duplicity
And above all things my son
Take the money and run

I still model lackluster panicky in vain search for the remedy
No words only melody comes, I take another day off

Oh, this washes over you, my French dog blues
Chien Bleu Chien französicher
Yeah, I see you

I only ever wanted the one with the flag
All you ever wanted was a sixty dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep pile dreams on the highway
On the highway, highway, oh

Chien Bleu französicher Chien
That is the French dog blues
That is the French dog blues
That is the French dog blues
That is the French dog

You seem the types who follow the line
Went from cheery vagabondage
To cold blooded luxury in four years

No lick spittle or pick thack
From sycophant claw back flunky
Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side

Weakened vessel or better half?
That woman's tears
Could be the death of me, oh dear

You know when she's had a few
She'll be onto you, there's no letting up
But, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side

It may happen too easily, the golden years
So don't despair, don't dismay dry your tears
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds

I, I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It's a little dream of mine

Oh, but comments were less than complimentary
And the deft left hand it followed the right

I think about my happiest times
And one of them was, sat in bed
Watching a documentary on murderers
A bear cat, a mimosa and a view of arcady

Well, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
I want to lay by your side
Oh, I'll surely lay down and die if I can't lay by your side

Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can't lay by your side
I want to lay by your side

Baddie's bound by ancient codes of decency and secrecy
He understands about stabbing backs and shaking hands
So if or when you're behind bars or in front of them as you are
Look out for the man who'll bum your wife and then shake your hand

Oh you've been here before, you fell in love and carried her over the threshold
Thinking, she's far too good looking to do the cooking
Now, but that's twenty years ago...twenty years ago

That's a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
Lousy life, lousy life

Kid was singing will I ever be free, does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana the drinks are free, stick one in his face for me

Baddies bound to decency and secrecy
Baddies bound

Oh well you've been here before, fell in love and carried her over the threshold
Thinking, she's far too good looking to do the cooking
Oh but that was twenty years ago... twenty years ago

It's a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard
Lousy life, a lousy life

Kid was singing will I ever be free, does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana the drinks are free, stick one in his face for me

Baddies bound, decency and secrecy

I'm half dead, I'm the third alive
A quarter ticking over on the middle by the side of the road
Don't get surrounded by people you hate
They'll choke you out the house
Down the path and out the garden gate

Ooh, I'll ever, never, not once when we're together
One gun punks on vogue at the side with the bands
And the vans and the gangs and the clan
With the monkey man high with a little girl at his side

What is it that you're doing to me?
Oh, I don't know, I know, I know, I know
I know, there came a truce and tea

Ooh, I will never, never, not chop those two together
With wheeling dope just do it on the side
With the bands and the fans and gangs and the clan
With the monkey man high with a little girl at his side

Well, I'll never, ever, now that we're together
Waiting on the dope
As he's queuing up inside, inside graveyard

I'm half dead, I'm the third alive
A quarter ticking over on the middle by the side of the road

I do declare I was surprised to see you stay
only to be betrayed by the one you gave all your love and trust to

And tell me how could I let go
Since I caught a glimpse of your immense soul
You were dancing to northern soul
Just one glance, and well you know...

There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake, she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now,
Oh There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again my lord now

I was to implore that you forget all you saw
When you came through my door and from your bag
You pulled out more skag than I'd ever seen
No! how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your white plimsoles
Twisting and turning to northern soul
Just once glance, ah well you know,
Everybody knows

There she goes a little heartache
The she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now
There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again
There she goes a little, there she, there she, there she goes
