Jack Bruce - Jet Set Jewel lyrics

The jet set steal each others' men and women
Ride each other through
The star-encrusted night
Everything's alright when chips are down
There's always trips in
Other peoples' clothes
Hey jaded rose, hey jet set jewel
Why must you be so cruel?

The jet set up each others' price
And vices toast each other
In the yacht-bespangled bay
Everything's so gay
When time is bad there's always sniffs
While other faces pose
Hew jaded rose, hey jet set jewel
How can you be so cruel?

The jet set smash each others' cars
And wine bars smoke each other
Through the hide-upholstered dream
Everything's the cream

When games are lost there's always planes
To other peoples' shows
Hey jaded rose, hey jet set jewel
How can you be so cruel?

Through the coloured glass
I can see I'm getting out of my class
There's a German girl
With a ringmaster's whip
At the front of the ship

O drag me down so I can't see
How high you get
O bring me up so I can't see
The low hung places where we met you and me
Jet set the jet set grab each others' purse
And reverse ask each other
To the diamond sequinned bal
Everything is all (Into each pocket
A little rain must fall)

When wine is spilt
There's always laughs in someone else's nose
Hey jaded rose
Hey jet set jewel, hey jaded rose
Why must you be so cruel?
