Old Jack's Charm - Marc Almond[00:00:00]

It was in the tattoo parlour[00:00:15]

Where he engraved their names[00:00:17]

Words a winding round his shoulders[00:00:20]

Reminders now he's older[00:00:23]

In the magic of the parlour[00:00:33]

Down his arm unwinds a story[00:00:36]

Love and hate and Mum and Dad[00:00:39]

In flames of hope and glory[00:00:41]

A mermaid and a schooner[00:00:44]

Tells us he was once at sea[00:00:47]

A heart pierced by an arrow[00:00:50]

Tells us once more in love was he[00:00:53]

And a dragon spitting fire[00:00:56]

He's forgotten what that's for[00:00:59]

But tattooed on his mind[00:01:01]

Is a reminder of the war[00:01:04]

He gave up tattooing lovers[00:01:08]

Where no room for any others[00:01:10]

A line through every sweetheart[00:01:13]

With another etched below[00:01:15]

In every port a stormy girl[00:01:20]

They loved him and they loved him so[00:01:23]

Each one for all to see adorned[00:01:26]

With Cupids and with bows[00:01:29]

A mermaid and a schooner[00:01:31]

Tells us he was once at sea[00:01:34]

A heart pierced by an arrow[00:01:37]

Tells us once more in love was he[00:01:40]

And a dragon spitting fire[00:01:43]

He's forgotten what that's for[00:01:46]

But tattooed on his mind is a reminder of war[00:01:49]

In the magic of the parlour[00:01:55]

Swapping laughter swapping stories[00:01:58]

Where the words are often hard[00:02:00]

And the air is always blue[00:02:03]

He remembers all his mates from then[00:02:06]

He lost a couple maybe ten[00:02:09]

Their headstone on his forearm as a crucifix tattoo[00:02:12]

Now he leans upon the bar[00:02:34]

With a mysterious air[00:02:36]

And the ladies gather round[00:02:39]

To view his decorated arms[00:02:41]

He'll tell them of each scroll and line[00:02:45]

And other scars not so fine[00:02:48]

And they always want to see[00:02:51]

A little more of Old Jacks Charms[00:02:53]

A mermaid and a schooner[00:03:00]

Tells us he was once at sea[00:03:03]

A heart pierced by an arrow[00:03:05]

Tells us once more in love was he[00:03:08]

And a dragon spitting fire[00:03:11]

He's forgotten what that's for[00:03:14]

But tattooed on his mind is a reminder of war[00:03:17]
