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
