Just Like Joe Meek's Blues - Graham Parker[00:00:00]
Written by:Graham Park[00:00:00]
My head was swimming in a bangkok joint[00:00:01]
You got paint on your coat like an arrow point[00:00:04]
I followed where it led as if pulled by a bow[00:00:07]
Fired into the night deep and slow to where I'll never know[00:00:11]
The hotel was dark as we made our arrival[00:00:18]
Waiting breathlessly for the Joe meek revival[00:00:22]
But it didn't stand any chance of survival[00:00:26]
You know Joe had an American rival[00:00:30]
Poor old Joe poor old Joe[00:00:33]
It takes a leap of faith[00:00:37]
To pull the trigger on the world you're accustomed to[00:00:41]
You might as well take out the landlady too[00:00:44]
It's only a small thing to choose[00:00:48]
Just like Joe meek's blues just like Joe meek's blues[00:00:52]
It's a twisted world so let's twist again[00:01:08]
There's a bass drum sound going round in my brain[00:01:11]
A cat communicates with an artichoke[00:01:15]
Lord sutch delivers a homophobe joke[00:01:18]
Heinz gets his nose chewed again[00:01:22]
So you turned up in leon with very little luggage[00:01:26]
Started talking in a foreign language[00:01:29]
I tied two beds together with a strap from my bag[00:01:33]
Everyone was dressed in white[00:01:37]
But you were dressed in black[00:01:40]
Dressed in black again[00:01:44]
Pull the trigger on the world you're accustomed to[00:01:48]
You might as well save a bullet for me[00:01:52]
Tooa footnote in tomorrow's news[00:01:54]
Just like Joe meek's blues just like Joe meek's blues[00:01:59]
Just like Joe meek's blues[00:02:13]
Back in London and it didn't even rain[00:02:35]
The Joe meek revival was happening again[00:02:38]
But the clocks went forward and the revival got choked[00:02:42]
British summertime came like a cruel joke[00:02:45]
You went back dressed in black[00:02:49]
It takes a leap of faith[00:02:53]
To really go for something right out of the blue[00:02:57]
Sure we might have torn each other's hair out by the roots[00:03:00]
And recorded it on two track tape[00:03:03]
Just like Joe meek's blues just like Joe meek's blues[00:03:07]
Just like Joe meek's blues just like Joe meek's blues[00:03:22]
Just like Joe meek's blues just like Joe meek's blues[00:03:37]
