Lyrics: |
So much for the bells | |
| And for Jimmy | ||
| Rang 'em through the halls of the church | ||
| Yeah, and what'd he give me? | ||
| Bag of clothes | ||
| And a letter I was supposed to give to his ma | ||
| He used to tell this joke | ||
| Why did the boat get drunk? - pier pressure | ||
| You know his castle was a morgue | ||
| Oh, poor Jimmy, oh, poor Jimmy | ||
| Flat out in heels and some girls that he liked | ||
| Eventually he loved no one but the blues | ||
| And the bells | ||
| That rang through the halls of Saint [???] | ||
| They got his goat, so to speak | ||
| Poor Jimmy, to weak, to strong, to carry on | ||
| Poor Jimmy, poor Jimmy, baby he's gone | ||
| Once upon a time he was sunny and fixed | ||
| Burnin' up the candles on the candlesticks | ||
| Now everybody wants to die like him | ||
| Born for spite and [in the light of the fan] | ||
| For souls burning cinders, poor Jimmy | ||
|
|
Never old, just pray for Jimmy, your story's been told | |
