All That Jazz (1980-05-22) Songtext
von Echo & the Bunnymen

Where the hell have you been
We′ve been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack

See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black


It appears because it's what I feel
I know I don′t understand
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
But when my knees hurt I like to stand

Instinct is the common lawyer
A million years won't erase
Strike that chord, I′m searching for
Call it a committed race

No matter, how I shake my fist
I know I can′t resist it
No matter, how you shake your fist
You know, you can't resist it


See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black
