The Jinx

(album: Learning English, Lesson 2 - 2017)

He joins the gang as we leave the pub
We're off downtown to a niteclub
And whereas usually we'd get in
We don't tonight 'cause we're with him

We're miles from home waiting for the last bus
But when it comes it don't stop for us
We can't afford a cab and it's quite clear
This wouldn't happen if he weren't here

He's a jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong
He's a jinx, jinx, when he strings along

It's Saturday night and there's parties on
But we can't get in any 'cause he's come along
So we end up walking 'round all night
If it weren't for him we'd been alright

Jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong
Jinx, jinx, when he strings along

If you want a partner for pool or darts
Play with him, you've lost before it starts
If we go to a match and he comes in
You can guarantee our team won't win

Jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong
Jinx, jinx, when he strings along
He's a jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong
Jinx, jinx, when he strings along
