Black Jacks

(album: Tangled Up - 2007)

Oh there's something that I want to say to you
And jumping in your face just wouldn't do
'Cos summer in the sun don't pay
And sure if crazy's what you feel
Then tell a soul, here's something on your plate
Still getting cold, well ain't that just a crying shame

It's hard having fun when you can't see the sun anymore
Wasting my time out at sea when you're following me to the door

It's hard having fun when you can't see the sun anywhere
Wasting my time, out at sea when you're following all the way

There's blackjacks running down my back
And I say "stop!" 'cos I love you baby,
I fight hard and blue, with you
When I'm down and I say
There's blackjacks running down my back
And I say "stop!" 'cos I love you baby,
I fight hard and blue, with you
'Cos you drive me crazy

New York nothing, come and get stuck in
Won't you come rocking, 'cos I gotta feel,
When your beep-beeps get in
Crazy don't sweat it
Honey just forget it if you keep it real

Oh there's something that I want to say to you
And jumping in your face just wouldn't do
'Cos summer in the sun don't pay
And sure if crazy's what you feel
Then tell a soul, here's something on your plate
Still getting cold, well ain't that just a crying shame

There's blackjacks running down my back
And I say "stop!" 'cos I love you baby,
I fight hard and blue, with you
When I'm down and I say
There's blackjacks running down my back
And I say "stop!" 'cos I love you baby,
I fight hard and blue, with you
'Cos you drive me crazy

Teacher didn't you know
I'm getting into the boat
These boots are making me slow
Ain't you going too fast!
The future's selling the past
You keep on telling me so
