Jackknife Paroles

So let that call resound

Senior, senior

Mopping your brow

My two pennorth might as well be a thousand pounds



I look back to the company

A mystery on a magic isle

Now where's my halfway house?

The seagulls cloud my rubbish pile


And you deliver some knockout blow

I'm scattered like treason, he goes (no, no)

And you deliver some knockout blow



I was nerdish

nerdish blue

Let's not be churlish, I was not through



But I drop the toothpick

And stop sweeping fires

I'm in the dentist's chair

And I'm wielding pliers



I touch down in bad company

A matrix of belt and buckle lines

Turncoat, cutpurse

Knocked on wood one too many times



And I tilt back til I make contact

With the stone (no, no)

And you deliver some knockout blow

I'm scattered like treason, he goes (no, no)

And you deliver some knockout blow



It's all a mistake, capitan

I used to sail with them



Til they cavorted and cavilled, ablaze in shoals

And put my money into the Mary Rose



And you deliver some knockout blow
