Lyrics Jack of All Parades (Live In Studio) - Elvis Costello
When
we
first
met
I
didn't
know
what
to
do
My
old
love
lines
were
all
worn
out
on
you
And
the
world
walked
round
my
mouth
They
lit
me
up
and
they
snuffed
me
out
And
I
was
everybody's
boy
But
soon
that
thrill
just
fades
To
be
the
love
of
one
true
heart
Or
the
Jack
of
all
parades
You
won't
know
who
to
thank
You
won't
know
who
to
blame
It's
just
a
part
of
the
Murdering
Game
'Cos
down
in
the
fleshpots
Where
they
pay
you
in
pounds
They're
laughing
like
drains
And
baying
like
bloodhounds
For
the
Jack
of
all
parades
The
Jack
of
all
parades
Once
I
knew
a
girl
That
looked
so
much
like
Judy
Garland
That
people
would
stop
and
give
her
money
And
everybody
was
Frankie,
Jimmy
or
Bobby
Not
the
Jack,
the
Jack
of
all
Parades,
Oh
the
Jack,
the
Jack
of
all
Parades,
Oh
the
Jack,
of
all
Parades.
Now
the
way
that
I
feel
is
no
longer
news
You
know
my
love
and
how
to
refuse
it
Cause
you
know
where
the
door
is
And
how
to
use
it
Oh
you
know
you
do
But
from
my
chequered
past
To
this
shattered
terrace
Where
you
can't
keep
your
mind
off
The
Crimes
of
Paris
And
you
can't
keep
your
peace
And
try
to
forget
it
And
I
can't
forgive
you
For
things
you
haven't
done
yet
Oh
I
was
anybody's
boy
But
soon
that
thrill
just
fades
To
be
the
love
of
one
true
heart
Or
the
Jack
of
all
parades
When
we
first
met
I
didn't
know
what
to
do
My
old
love
lines
were
all
worn
out
on
you
And
the
world
walked
'round
my
mouth
I
didn't
mean
to
say
it
I
just
blurted
it
out
As
you
pretended
not
to
notice
Or
be
taken
aback
And
I
loved
you
there
and
then
It's
as
simple
as
that
Oh
I
was
everybody's
boy
But
soon
that
thrill
just
fades
To
be
the
love
of
one
true
heart
Or
the
Jack
of
all
parades
To
be
the
love
of
one
true
heart
Or
the
Jack
of
all
parades
Oh
the
Jack
of
all
parades
