He Went To Paris |
He went to Paris |
Looking for answers |
To questions that bothered him so He was impressive |
Young and aggressive |
Saving the world on his own |
Warm summer breezes |
And french wines and cheeses |
Put his ambitions at bay |
Summers and winters |
Scattered like splinters |
And four or five years slipped away |
He went to England |
Played the piano |
And married an actress named Kim |
They had a fine life |
She was a good wife |
And bore him a young son named Jim |
And all of the answers |
To all of the questions |
Locked in his attic one day |
He liked the quiet |
Clean country living |
And twenty more years slipped away |
Well, the war took his baby |
Bombs killed his lady |
And left him with only one eye |
His body was battered |
His whole world was shattered |
And all he could do was just cry |
While the tears were a' fallin' |
He was recallin' |
The answers he never found |
So he hopped on a freighter |
Skidded the ocean |
And left England without a sound |
Now he lives in the islands |
Fishes the pylons |
And drinks his green label each day |
He’s writing his memoirs |
And losing his hearing |
But he don’t care what most people say |
«Through eighty six years |
Of perpetual motion,» |
If he likes you, he’ll smile and he’ll say |
«Jim, some of it’s magic |
And some of it’s tragic |
But I had a good life all the way» |
He went to Paris |
Looking for answers |
To questions that bothered him so |
