[00:00:00] Bridegroom Blues - John Wesley Harding

[00:00:37] The streets are doing a war dance

[00:00:40] As their sight is restored to the blind

[00:00:42] And I'm sifting trash on the offchance

[00:00:44] That there might be something to find

[00:00:47] And Mary lets her fingers do the walking

[00:00:49] Her baby's nearly due

[00:00:51] She's listening but no one's talking

[00:00:53] At the citizen's advice bureau

[00:00:56] And joe is down on the dole queue

[00:00:58] He should have signed on yesterday

[00:01:00] Even if he was a carpenter and she was his

[00:01:03] Lady

[00:01:03] He still wouldn't be able to make it pay

[00:01:05] No

[00:01:23] And he don't believe in angels

[00:01:26] She's been seeing another man

[00:01:29] Infidelity runs in the family

[00:01:31] But that wasn't a part of the plan

[00:01:33] And shepherds watch the flicks by night

[00:01:36] At the king's 'cross all night show

[00:01:38] So much trying to catch their eyes

[00:01:40] But they're too grossed out to know

[00:01:42] And the three kings travel like three ships a sailing

[00:01:45] They've got some gifts he'll need

[00:01:47] Coc*ine for sniffing money for corruption and a whole load

[00:01:50] Of videos of I love lucy

[00:02:10] But the king of the country he's getting frightened

[00:02:13] He doesn't want to be somebody man's pawn

[00:02:15] And he crushes the beer can between his hands

[00:02:18] He sees his fate the clown yells checkmate

[00:02:20] And another star is born

[00:02:22] But the baby is killed in an instant

[00:02:24] As though his whole life were a dream

[00:02:27] Though his book sells well and he pulls out the

[00:02:29] Stops

[00:02:30] Everyone knows he's a hyped up hasbeen

[00:02:41] And the t shirts just embarrass

[00:02:43] And thought become memories after a while

[00:02:46] He's looking so much older now

[00:02:48] It's hard to belive that that was style

[00:02:50] And he throws his cloak out to his fan

[00:02:53] It's his last chance sacrifice

[00:02:55] The girls are crawling a cut glass sea

[00:02:58] No one even wants to look twice

[00:03:00] 'Cos the circle's all but full now

[00:03:02] But the stalls are empty for the latest son

[00:03:05] Who just smiles and says

[00:03:06] Give my regards to fleet street I've gotta run

[00:03:10] I've gotta run

[00:03:23] Oh get it

[00:03:30] The streets are doing a war dance

[00:03:33] As their sight is restored to the blind

[00:03:35] And I'm sifting trash on the offchance

[00:03:37] That there might be something to find

[00:03:48] The streets are doing a war

[00:03:55] Are doing a war

[00:03:57] Are doing a war
