Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw |
He went to Paris |
Looking for answers |
To questions that bothered him so He was impressive |
Young and aggressive |
Savin the world on his own |
But the warm summer breezes |
The French wines and cheeses |
Put him ambition at bay |
His summers and winters |
Scattered like splinters |
And four to five yeas slipped away |
Then 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 young son named Jim |
And all of the answers, and all the questions |
He locked in his attic one day |
Cause he liked the quiet |
Clean country livin 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 falling and he was recalling |
Answers hed never found |
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean |
And left England without a sound |
Now he lives in the islands |
Fishes and pilins |
And drinks his green label each day |
Writing his memoirs |
Losin his hearin |
But he dont care what most people |
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion |
If he likes you hell smile, and hell say, Jimmy, some of its magic, |
some of its tragic |
But I had a good life all of the way. |
And he went to Paris |
Lookin for answers to questions |
That bothered him so |
