Graeme Downes - C.D. Jimmy Jazz and Me lyrics

Saw a guy drunk where the people would dance And men of similarity laugh out of charity And long-faced women cast to agree Look sideways and up, and quietly leave And I cannot hate or despise or deplore 'Cos I've stood and watched from both sides before I lean on the dance floor I can't think straight any more Asked me why I never wrote you a song When you thought you'd given me enough to work on And now you find that I've lost my tongue And I turn my back on the way you get your fun You don't know what struck me dumb You're on the run C.D. Jimmy Jazz and me f**ed off to Paris to write of the sea Too much beauty in one foul sweep And the brilliant sun made me blind on the beach So I made it back to confusion row Where encased in four walls my mind could cope We live in hope
