That's What Jazz Is to Me |
| Jazz |
| Fire eating drag-queens dressed as society whores |
| Crazy two timing bitches running round |
| Ghetto blasting blasters, blasting magnificently |
| Blossoms falling from the cherry trees |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| High buildings with crippled backs circle around my dreams |
| I clutch at the greasy tails of my dreams |
| White blossom falling from the cherry trees |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| Ten bottles standing in a row military style |
| With hats pulled low over their brows |
| A thousand wasted hours |
| Skeletons entwined fucking and braying? |
| fields |
| Blossoms falling from the cherry tree |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| History repeating itself like a All the great cars of the world in one massive collision |
| All the doctors swallowed up by one incompetence |
| All the great theorists and teachers eaten alive … |
| Religious extacy and a blossom falling from a cherry tree |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| Blind fish being used as musical scales |
| Sharks puffed for fish and whales |
| I long to be by the sea where a blossom falls from a cherry tree |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| Three forms, four forms, five forms, six forms, |
| Seven forms, eight forms, nine forms, |
| A blossom falling from the cherry tree |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
| As Einstein said about his theory |
| I love, I love, I love, I love jazz |
| It’s in your heart, it’s in your soul, it’s in your mind |
| The colour of death, sweet vanilla essence |
| Richard Harris and Donald Pleasance |
| And a cherry blossom falling from a cherry tree |
| That’s what jazz is to me |
