Well the room was pink
and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being
slammed delirious
Feeling like a joke
in the bar underneath
And it was Saturday night
in the year of the good thief
Well I tumbled up the stairs
the wrong way round
I hit my head on the ceiling
when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde
in the gold fish bowl
Cried Ella's in the band
but she's got no soul
My friend John
was a serious one
Buttoned up the back
and a job half done
Lazy old boy
when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy
and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn
Well the night was spent
and my money was young
And then I had to get home
before my neck was wrong
And everybody danced
in the same old way
And if I'm feeling old
and desperate
I'll be back some day
My friend John
was a serious one
Buttoned up the back
and a job half done
Lazy old boy
when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy
and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn
