The Fratellis - Jeannie Nitro lyrics
[The Fratellis - Jeannie Nitro lyrics]
Well she came round here and
Nobody could speak her name
And she talked in circles like she
Needed someone else to blame
And everybody prayed she would go
Back from where she came
The sun didn't shine and for forty
Days all it did was rain
Well the lights burned out
And the circus they got out of town
And the priest's last rites were the
Only words that could be found
The loverboys couldn't tell the time
'cause the phones were down
The poets couldn't find the words
To describe the sound
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Came, she saw, she made them cry
Lost their hearts but don't know why
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Spoke the words and begged to die
Sold her dream for you and I
Well the good girls danced with the
Devil in the open yard
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
But the blood from their thighs was the
Only thing that made him hard
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
She couldn't read the signs on the
Wall where they had her scarred
She was the one time lover of
A victim of the avant-garde
Well it was said she was raised by
The praise of a furious man
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
But she couldn't tell you how or
When that it all began
(Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
A woman has to feel alive any way she can
She don't plead dumb or pretend
That she don't understand
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Came, she saw, she made them cry
Lost their hearts but don't know why
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Spoke the words and dared to die
Sold her dream for you and I
Well she came round here and
Nobody could speak her name
And she talked in circles like she
Needed someone else to blame
And everybody prayed she would go
Back from where she came
The sun didn't shine and for forty
Days all it did was rain
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Came, she saw, she made them cry
Lost their hearts but don't know why
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Spoke the words and begged to die
Sold her dream for you and I
Nobody could speak her name
And she talked in circles like she
Needed someone else to blame
And everybody prayed she would go
Back from where she came
The sun didn't shine and for forty
Days all it did was rain
Well the lights burned out
And the circus they got out of town
And the priest's last rites were the
Only words that could be found
The loverboys couldn't tell the time
'cause the phones were down
The poets couldn't find the words
To describe the sound
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Came, she saw, she made them cry
Lost their hearts but don't know why
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
Spoke the words and begged to die
Sold her dream for you and I
Well the good girls danced with the
