Jack The Lad Lyrics

Pet Shop Boys Jack The Lad

Ooooooh oooooh
Lawrence in the desert, how was he to know
Under so much pressure from the men back home?
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Play with guns, you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack!
Telling lies in public, breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets, for another roam
Tell this lies, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
To feast with panthers every night
You must be careful, Jack!
          Don't let them try to restrain you
          This is your only religion
          Don't let them try to detain you
          You're not the only fool
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
     We'll fall
Filthy in the desert
looking for a phone
Waiting on the pavement
for a call from home
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have heard you, Jack!
          Don't let them try to restrain you
          This is your only religion
          Don't let them try to detain you
          You're not the only fool
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
          Don't let them try to restrain you
          This is your only religion
          Don't let them try to detain you
          You're not the only fool
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
     We all fall, even Jack the Lad
     We'll fall...
