Barry Adamson - Jazz Devil lyrics

rate me

When god appeared before me

I was drowning in my pool

I was 50 over 30

But looking real cool

He said a life of tedious insights

And an overflowing cup

Just don't cut the mustard

I'm afraid you can't come up

I fell way down it seemed

Into a bottomless pit

A sign saying Hotel Hades

Was the only thing a'lit

Beezelbub was hanging

But he wouldn't cut no slack

He told me the Big Cat has spoken

I'm afraid you're going back

As the Jazz Devil

Full and greedy

I'm the Jazz Devil

Libido needy

I'm the Jazz Devil

Flymeat in the mix

Where you can call me Agent Double O 666

I cruised the streets of London

With one thing on my mind

Got a passport labelled fun

Of the interactive kind

But first I found some cats

And they were howling at the moon

I told them "You play the instruments

And I'll play the baffoon"

We broke into a sombre march

Called Misery and Woe

And then we upped the tempo

Until the juice began to flow

All a sudden this chick called Mimi

Appeared right out the blue

Saying "I've been searching for someone

And now I know who"

Jazz Devil

Sick and racy

I'm the Jazz Devil

But very tasty

I'm the Jazz Devil

Flymeat in the mix

Where you can call me Agent Double O 666

Me and Mimi settled down

In the family kinda way

Won 10 million on the lottery

Without no debts to pay

And in the wee small hours

When there was noplace left to spend

We'd open up each other

So the days would never end

Some jealous cats caught wind of this

And armed up to the teeth

They came in search of me and she

With pistols underneath

And they caught me going down

A thing that made me just see red

And as Mimi hit the no return

They filled me full of lead

Damn I'm dead

When god appeared before me

I was lying in a pool

I was 50 over 30

But looking real cool

He said a life of tedious insights

And a tendency to crack

Just don't cut the mustard

Time to head on back

I fell way down I knew

Into a bottomless pit

(Oh no here we go)

A sign saying Hotel Hades

Was the only thing a'lit

Beezelbub was there a'hanging

But he wouldn't cut no slack

He told me the Big Cat has spoken

Again you're going back

As the Jazz Devil

Every moment hail the

Jazz Devil

As long as days keep dawning

I'm the Jazz Devil

Flymeat in the mix

Where you can call me Agent Double O 666<br />
