Jazz
|
Fire eating drag-queens dressed as society whores
|
Crazy two timing bitches running round
|
Ghetto blasting blasters, blasting magnificently
|
Blossoms falling from the cherry trees
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
High buildings with crippled backs circle around my dreams
|
I clutch at the greasy tails of my dreams
|
White blossom falling from the cherry trees
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
Ten bottles standing in a row military style
|
With hats pulled low over their brows
|
A thousand wasted hours
|
Skeletons entwined fucking and braying ? fields
|
Blossoms falling from the cherry tree
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
History repeating itself like a
|
All the great cars of the world in one massive collision
|
All the doctors swallowed up by one incompetence
|
All the great theorists and teachers eaten alive ...
|
Religious extacy and a blossom falling from a cherry tree
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
Blind fish being used as musical scales
|
Sharks puffed for fish and whales
|
I long to be by the sea where a blossom falls from a cherry tree
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
Three forms, four forms, five forms, six forms,
|
Seven forms, eight forms, nine forms,
|
A blossom falling from the cherry tree
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
|
As Einstein said about his theory
|
I love, I love, I love, I love jazz
|
It's in your heart, it's in your soul, it's in your mind
|
The colour of death, sweet vanilla essence
|
Richard Harris and Donald Pleasance
|
And a cherry blossom falling from a cherry tree
|
That's what jazz is to me
|
