The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer

Well let me tell you something
let me tell you so
This could be the one thing
that you really need to know
You got to stop once in a while
and shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me
oh sister
Well cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
She said Don't you look ridiculous
I checked her out meticulously
I don't wanna stop to argue
but my teeth were broke
I said I'd love to contradict you
but my life's a joke oh sister
She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
the books are on the table
and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow
wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here
as an acid jazz singer come on
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation seems
a crazy occupation to me
And though I didn't much
believe her I was bound to call
I really didn't want to miss
a single thing at all oh sister
She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
the books are on the table
and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and
you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as
an acid jazz singer come on
She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself
the books are on the table
and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and
you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly
to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
Put your hands together
for the Acid jazz singer come on
come on come on come on
come on come on come on
