Prefab Sprout - Jesse James Bolero lyrics

[Prefab Sprout - Jesse James Bolero lyrics]

Jesse was a renegade danced to his own drum
Growin' wise could wait 'til tomorrow
Took to a road signposted sorrow
Jesse was a hooligan jumped
Right off the rail
There in the cards there in the tarot
Born to despise the straight and the narrow
Jesse was a connoisseur
Home cookin' tasted stale

Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run
Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
Jesse James is waiting
For the cheap music to stop
Don't goodbye deserve some
Bach not barbershop?
Jesse didn't hear the drum suddenly lose time
All his plans crafted, clever
Fated unborn - Unfinished forever
Jesse didn't hear the drum
Stop outside his door
In his dreams destiny towered
In the cold light of day it came as a coward
Jesse didn't hear the drum
At the age of thirty-four

Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run
Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
Jesse James is waiting
For the cheap music to stop
Don't goodbye deserve some
Bach not barbershop?

Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run
Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son
Jesse James is waiting
For the cheap music to stop
Don't goodbye deserve some
Bach not barbershop?
