Break Of Day

R

Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what i say
Here comes johnny singing i gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here come johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what i say
Here comes johnny singing i gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And i bet and you exploded in my heart
And i forget i forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And i can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but i'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all i do is miss you and the way we used to be
All i do is keep the beat and bad company
All i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie i'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store
A while before we met
The most dangerous angels that you ever saw
She spied her amulet

And she took a loop of leather for around her neck
And that was then the start
The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck
She found her golden heart
You found your golden heart

Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun
To some arcadian band
I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum
Just to hold time in my hand

And you shot me with a cannonball of history
And long forgotten art
I'd be turning it over as our words ran free
I'd hold your golden heart
I'd hold your golden heart

Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world that i love more your heart, your heart
Your golden heart

And every time i'm thinking of you from a distant shore
And all the time i sleep
I will have a reminder that my baby wore
A part of you to keep

And i'll send you all my promises across the sea
And while we are apart
I will carry the wonder that you gave to me
I'll wear your golden heart
I'll wear your golden heart

Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world that i love more your heart, your heart
Your golden heart

Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories
Ridin' on the gravy train
Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave
Ridin' on the gravy train
Past the coal mines black and scarred
Starter houses in the loading yard
On the gravy train, on the gravy train

There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars
Ridin' on the gravy train
Never thank each other or their lucky stars
Ridin' on the gravy train
That's worse than ingratitude
Worse than a piss poor attitude

On the gravy train, gravy train

Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on
Ridin' on the gravy train
Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn
Ridin' on the gravy train
Some act tough, some act rude
Some bit of fluff complain about the food
You wanna see somebody getting really rude
Get on the gravy train, gravy train

Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track,
And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose
Coming back

There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade
Ridin' on the gravy train
Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade
Ridin' on the gravy train
Free loader licks my boots
Tells me how he digs my suit
You got lucky son, don't get cute
Get on the gravy train
