Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
Come on Cold Ethyl
Freeze me babe
One thing, it’s true
Cold Ethyl I am stuck on you
And everything is my way
Ethyl don’t have much to say
Where the river is windin’, big nuggets they’re findin’
North to Alaska, we’ve gone north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, we’ve gone north, the rush is on
Way up north to Alaska, way up north to Alaska
Way up north to Alaska, way up north to Alaska
Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn’t save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
Dirty deeds
And they’re done dirt cheap…
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Time can never mend,
The careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind,
There’s no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you’ll find.
Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, promises in the dark
And I need your sympathy,
Whispering pines,.send my baby back to me…
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don’t need to fight
To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven
Don’t cry
Don’t raise your eye
It’s only teenage wasteland
I never thought you could act so mean
Now I’m wondering what to do,
to see if you could love me too
Each night I ask, the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
Why must I be a teenager in love
Bobby Sox, baby, I’ve got to let you go
Bobby Sox, baby, I’ve got to let you go
You’ve got a head full of nothin’
But stage, screen and radio
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
If you think that love isn’t found on the radio
Well tune right in you made find the love you lost
'Cause now I’m sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
It sounded really loud , they said it really loud
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
I was lost,
I was gone,
Listening to Levon,
In another place,
In some other world,
I was lost,
I was gone,
Listening to Levon…
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
Money, get back
I’m all right Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it’s a hit
Don’t give me that do-goody-good bullshit
I’m in the high-fidelity, first-class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled , yeah yeah
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick.
Now, Smackwater Jack,
He bought a shotgun,
'Cause he was in the mood,
For a little confrontation…
