Paroles de 'Jazz Devil' par Barry Adamson

When God appeared before me I was drowning in my pool
I was fifty over thirty but lookin' 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
Beelzebub was hangin' but he wouldn't cut no slack
He told me the big cat hath 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, fly me in the mix
Where you can call me agent 00666

I cruise the streets of London with just one thing on my mind
Gotta passport labelled fun of the interactive kind
But first I found some cats and they were howling at the moon
I told 'em you play the instruments and I'll play the buffoon

We broke into a sombre march called "Misery and Woe"
And then we upped the tempo 'til the juice began to flow
All a sudden this chick named Mimi just appeared right outta the blue
Sayin' I've been searchin' 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, fly me in the mix
Where you can call me agent 00666

Me and Mimi settled down in the family kinda way
Won 10,000,000 on the lottery without no debt to pay
And in the wee small hours when there was no place 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 their pistols underneath
And they caught me going down a thing that made them just see red
And as Mimi hit the no return they filled me fulla lead

Damn… I'm dead!

When God appeared before me I was lyin' in a pool
I was fifty over thirty but lookin' 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)
The sign saying "Hotel Hades" is the only sign that's lit
Beezelbub was hangin' but he never cuts no slack
He says, the big cat hath spoken again you're going back as the
Jazz Devil. Every mornin hail the
Jazz Devil. Cos as long as days keep dawnin' I'm the
Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix
you know that I am agent 00666 (wow)
