Paul Kelly - Billy Baxter lyrics

I want to be like Billy Baxter And lose my limitations I want to be like Billy Baxter And do imitations Billy's got a thousand faces He's a lover and a gambler too Just to see him go through his paces Is a lesson for all the crew 'Coz he got a hungry heart He got love to burn 'Coz he got a hungry heart He got love to burn Billy's in love with abandon But he never seems to lose control He can walk right through disaster Everyone in pieces but he's still whole I want to be like Billy Baxter And lose my limitations I want to be like Billy Baxter And do imitations 'Coz he got a hungry heart He got love to burn 'Coz he got a hungry heart He got love to burn Hold it steady Billy While I pour the wine When you think you're ready Billy Play that pantomime for me one time I want to be like Billy Baxter I want to be like Billy Baxter I want to be like Billy Baxter I want to be like Billy Baxter
