Was Not Was Shadow & Jimmy
Shadow and jimmy were always yesterday’s news Jimmy’s a
bowler, shadow rents out his green bowling shoes Late
friday night when the bars are all shuttered and dark He
shadows back jimmy to the lot in the lost trailer park
For shadow and jimmy all the weekends end up the same If
it’s saturday night, then it must be the hockey game
After cold beer and barbecued ribs the night is
completeWith wrestling stories and elegant bones That are
tired of walking and on their way home Chorus And they
talk about the women And they look at the girls They’ll
never know the ways of the world They’ve got a mouthful
of much obliged And a handful of gimme And the love for
each other Of shadow and jimmy For shadow and jimmy now
the story is told There’s nothing to hold on to and no
one to hold Men without women are like fish without Water
to swim in With their eyes bugging out They flop on the
beach And look up at the girls Who are just out of reach
