Jack of All Parades Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
When we first met I didn’t know what to do
My old love lines were all worn out on you
And the world walked ‘round my mouth
They lit me up and they snuffed me out

[Chorus]
And I was everybody's boy
But soon that thrill just fades
To be the love of one true heart
Or the Jack of all parades

[Verse 2]
You won’t know who to thank
You won’t know who to blame
It’s just a part of the murdering game
‘Cause down in the fleshpots
Where they pay you in pounds
They’re laughing like drains
And baying like bloodhounds
For the Jack of all parades
For the Jack of all parades

[Bridge]
Once I knew a girl
That looked so much like Judy Garland
That people would stop and give her money
And everybody's Frankie, Jimmy, or Bobby
Not the Jack, not the Jack of all parades
Not the Jack
(Or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack)
The Jack of all parades
(Or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack)
Oh, the Jack, the Jack of all parades
(Or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack or the Jack)
Oh, the Jack of all parades
