Joe Meek's Blues Songtext

G My head was swimming in a Bangkok joint Em you got paint on your coat like an arrow point D I followed where it led as if pulled by a bow C Am D fired into the night deep and slow to where I'll never know The hotel was dark as we made our arrival waiting breathlessly for the Joe Meek revival but it didn't stand any chance of survival you know Joe had an American rival Poor old Joe, poor old Joe Em G it takes a leap of faith, Am Am7 to pull the trigger on the world you're accustomed to Am Am7 you might as well take out the landlady too C it's only a small thing to choose Em C Am Em C Am D CHORUS just like Joe Meek's blues, just like Joe meek's blues It's a twisted world so let's twist again there's a bass drum sound going round in my brain a cat communicates with an artichoke Lord Sutch delivers a homophobe joke Heinz gets his nose chewed again so you turned up in Leon with very little luggage started talking in a foreign language I tied two beds together with a strap from my bag everyone was dressed in white but you were dressed in black Dressed in black again pull the trigger on the world you're accustomed to you might as well save a bullet for me too a footnote in tomorrow's news chorus repeat twice then F D F D Back in London and it didn't even rain the Joe Meek revival was happening again but the clocks went forward and the revival got choked British summertime came like a cruel joke you went back dressed in black it takes a leap of faith to really go for something right out of the blue sure we might have torn each other's hair out by the roots and recorded it on two track tape chorus repeat three times with variations end on ooh
