mary jo

Mary jo, living alone
Drinking tea, on her own
She wants, I donâ??t know what you want

Mary jo, living alone
Drinking gin with the telly's on
She wants

The night to follow day and back again
She doesnâ??t want to sleep
Well who could blame her if she wants?
The night to follow day and back again
She doesnâ??t want to sleep
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?
Well who could blame her, if sheâ??s sleeping?

Mary Jo, back with yourself
For company, keep telling yourself youâ??re young
Itâ??ll happen soon

Mary Jo, no one can guess
What youâ??ve been through
Now youâ??ve got love to burn

Itâ??s someone elseâ??s turn to go through hell
Now you can see them come from fifty yards
Yeah you can tell
Itâ??s someone elseâ??s turn to take a fall
And now you are the one whoâ??s strong enough to help them
The one whoâ??s strong enough to help them
The one whoâ??s strong enough to help them all

Mary Jo, youâ??re looking thin
Youâ??re reading a book, the state I am in
But oh, it doesnâ??t help at all
'Cause what you want is a cigarette
And a thespian with a caravanette in hull

Your life is never dull in your dreams
A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it
Life is never dull in your head
A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
Women, and the men you left for
Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
