Bridegroom Blues - John Wesley Harding[00:00:00]

The streets are doing a war dance[00:00:37]

As their sight is restored to the blind[00:00:40]

And I'm sifting trash on the offchance[00:00:42]

That there might be something to find[00:00:44]

And Mary lets her fingers do the walking[00:00:47]

Her baby's nearly due[00:00:49]

She's listening but no one's talking[00:00:51]

At the citizen's advice bureau[00:00:53]

And joe is down on the dole queue[00:00:56]

He should have signed on yesterday[00:00:58]

Even if he was a carpenter and she was his[00:01:00]

Lady[00:01:03]

He still wouldn't be able to make it pay[00:01:03]

No[00:01:05]

And he don't believe in angels[00:01:23]

She's been seeing another man[00:01:26]

Infidelity runs in the family[00:01:29]

But that wasn't a part of the plan[00:01:31]

And shepherds watch the flicks by night[00:01:33]

At the king's 'cross all night show[00:01:36]

So much trying to catch their eyes[00:01:38]

But they're too grossed out to know[00:01:40]

And the three kings travel like three ships a sailing[00:01:42]

They've got some gifts he'll need[00:01:45]

Coc*ine for sniffing money for corruption and a whole load[00:01:47]

Of videos of I love lucy[00:01:50]

But the king of the country he's getting frightened[00:02:10]

He doesn't want to be somebody man's pawn[00:02:13]

And he crushes the beer can between his hands[00:02:15]

He sees his fate the clown yells checkmate[00:02:18]

And another star is born[00:02:20]

But the baby is killed in an instant[00:02:22]

As though his whole life were a dream[00:02:24]

Though his book sells well and he pulls out the[00:02:27]

Stops[00:02:29]

Everyone knows he's a hyped up hasbeen[00:02:30]

And the t shirts just embarrass[00:02:41]

And thought become memories after a while[00:02:43]

He's looking so much older now[00:02:46]

It's hard to belive that that was style[00:02:48]

And he throws his cloak out to his fan[00:02:50]

It's his last chance sacrifice[00:02:53]

The girls are crawling a cut glass sea[00:02:55]

No one even wants to look twice[00:02:58]

'Cos the circle's all but full now[00:03:00]

But the stalls are empty for the latest son[00:03:02]

Who just smiles and says[00:03:05]

Give my regards to fleet street I've gotta run[00:03:06]

I've gotta run[00:03:10]

Oh get it[00:03:23]

The streets are doing a war dance[00:03:30]

As their sight is restored to the blind[00:03:33]

And I'm sifting trash on the offchance[00:03:35]

That there might be something to find[00:03:37]

The streets are doing a war[00:03:48]

Are doing a war[00:03:55]

Are doing a war[00:03:57]
