Eurythmics - Jack Of All Trades Lyrics

Eurythmics
Miscellaneous
Jack Of All Trades
jack of all trades master of none
even got lost trying to find the M1
ended up in South Shields with a couple of drunks

moved to Crouch End suburb of cool
took a few drugs acted the fool
fell in love with a girl on her harmonium stool

went round the world in the back of a van
we kept in touch with our only fan
he was short and sweet lived in Japan

the band broke up round a pool in Bangkok
to tell you the truth it didn't come as a shock
our days were numbered like hands on a clock

so we carried on me and the serious girl
had massive hits all round the world
we got so big we both became ill

flew into London with a bit of a tan
caught the train back to Sunderland to see me old man
we had bacon and eggs from the same frying pan

to walk down the high street
avoiding a scrap
"are you Dave Stewart?"
"yeah"
:you're a crap"
had a pint in the Beehive then home for a nap

got married in France to an Irish colleen
I was thirty three she was only thirteen
I wore orange but she wore green

now I sit and write plays for myself and my sons
they keep me amused yeah I have much more fun
than big lines of speed at quarter to one
on a peaceful Sunday morning
