Romeo Jack (Remastered)

Romeo Jack (Remastered) - Magna Carta/Chris Simpson

Baby lonely crying in the rain

Says she'll never be the same again

She found she'd been locked outside last night

He was the friend who said he'd see her right

She reached the point of no return

And now she can't come back

Let the devil take the highroad to Romeo Jack

Your conquests hang like washing on your line

You got it all worked out it's working fine

When the tree ain't in the orchard

And the fruit is free for all

You let chance shake the apples and you

Catch 'em as they fall

The rain can't damp your ardour

Better wear your plastic mac

And it's quite ok to lie on Romeo Jack

A flower by the roadside

Turns her face toward the sun and sits in a dream

And what use is a flower

When it's hidden out of sight and can't be seen

The womens' league is up in arms again

It needs a sense of purpose now and then

They're shocked they say about the things you do

But give them half a chance and they'd do it too

The best laid plans of mice and men

Are running rather slack

They seek him here they seek him there

Illusive Romeo Jack

I've heard it said you've almost had your run

And all your moral values are undone

And when at twenty five you're past your best

Then leave the shattered remnants to the rest

And to show yourself from time to time

You haven't lost the knack

Pack your bags and come and join us Romeo Jack

Pack your bags and come and join us Romeo Jack

Pack your bags and come and join us Romeo Jack
