Smiles and Grins (Live at 37. Deutsches Jazzfestival Frankfurt 2006)

Smiles and Grins (Live at 37. Deutsches Jazzfestival Frankfurt 2006) - Jack Bruce/Hr Bigband

The smiles on city windows

It's only the weekly cleaner

The dials on all the faces

Are gradually getting nearer

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

Grins painted on radiators

Are only the teeth of laughter

The numbers of all the victories

Are stenciled on soon after

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

The smiling suburban collars

They power the city's cisterns

Whenever they pull the trainchain

They gradually start the pistons

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

Grins painted on petrol tigers

Are only the tanks of porter

Whenever they pull the trainchain

They gradually start the pistons

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

Lovers in the dark

Murders in the park

Blankets from the fear

Cars when roads are near

The smiles on city windows

It's only the weekly cleaner

The dials on all the faces

Are gradually getting nearer

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

Grins painted on radiators

Are only the teeth of laughter

Whenever they pull the trainchain

They gradually start the pistons

So keep your hair on if you can

When you're living in a van

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hoarse when you're locked out
