lyrics

There ain't nobody here
Nobody in this ol' shell
Pick a cage for a lonely cell
And shelve yourself with a book
Don't pain yourself with the hooks, my love
Looking for a plate of food
Don't say you misunderstood
Because...

There ain't nobody here
Nobody in this ol' tomb
Find a shadow in the city of light
And smile like the moon
Fancy bows and ribbons of gloom, you wish
For operations normal soon
Don't say you misunderstood
Because....

If by chance you end wondering
These desert streets of a homeless town
Cast your eyes stoic-like down
Exchange glances and frowns

Time out of mind
Cast thoughts into the sea
How many places to be, you sail
On the waves of eternity
We'll meet there endlessly
Because....

There ain't nobody here
Noone behind the eyes
See a generation of passion and lust
Blow smoke against the wind
Show the loser how to win
Trade virtue in for sin
Don't say you misunderstood
Because.....

There ain't nobody here
Nobody underneath the sky
I saw a little twinkle in your eye
You took me for a pretty fool
With plunder, spillage and toil, you poured
The drinks for another round
And we were homeward bound...

And if by chance you end wondering
These desert streets of a hopeless town
Cast your eyes stoic-like down
Exchange glances and frowns

Time out of mind
Cast thoughts into the sea
How many places to be, you sail
On the waves of eternity
We'll meet there endlessly.

about

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin.
