Colin Vearncombe Blondes
If you don’t know when or where
Any road will take you there
But won’t bring you back again.
It was a long road to the top
But a short one to the drop
I do what I can
It’s what Jack and Jackie knew
Brigitte and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the earth
Back in nineteen forty five it was just good to be
alive
Though we followed skinny shadows in the dirt
What did I do in the war?
Shaking life a leaf in fall
A player looking for a vote
Love came with a ransom note
Or worse
Another innocence was through with “good luck charm”
and “love me do”
and we were never the same again
And that Jimi got to play
In ‘Nam the choppers got to rain
It was like Jack and Jackie knew
Brigitte and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the earth
Blondes rule the earth
