Even Out

歌詞

Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack Who was always looking forwards and never looking back The careers officers at our school always used to Say that Jack was the one who had the brighter future But now Jack's dead with a crack in his head Slumped in an alley like a sackful of lead It was the crack they said but, I know better Cause I knew Jill was trouble from the moment that I met her She was not just a pretty face, had a hat rack Knew that dreams disappear like pussy out the cat flap Round her little finger she had Jack wrapped Till that lab rat thought that he was in the rat pack But when cat meats rat, only one winner Law dictates that one becomes dinner True that at night he could ignite a light in her But could he make a grand on the streets like Mike Skinner So, Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Looking back on the course of events I see what Jack had in heart he was lacking in sense Jill was into fashion and she studied in Kent She had enough money for shoes but never for rent She needed money quick and Jack knew a fast way Started selling class A's to all Jill's classmates Led him half way down a dark pathway I said 'I don't care if you're making a killing Jack that's a daft way' Try to make a living, if you ask me your arse may End up in prison where it's ghastly And when you're sick and feeling queasy and your arse aches Picking up the pieces won't be easy like when glass breaks Him 'Me and Jill moving in to the house on the hill in Ill And she's only willing if I'm continuing dealing Besides I'm making a killing, moving a kilo It'll all be fine and dandy' 'Jack it's not even the Beano' So, Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Truth is me and Jill we go way back Started in a bar and grill, finished in a haystack And when it ended guess the wounds never mended She went from 'please please please' to the big payback I guess I always figured it came down to the day that Her dad went for a cigarette and never came back Her mum never wrote a note, put on an overcoat Took an overdose, lay down on a train track Shame that, but that's how life goes One minute you're an innocent the next you're a pyscho The night Jack died I saw Jill in her nightclothes Blood dripping from her right hand holding a pipe hose Looking round at the state of the slaughter I said 'Jill you'd better get a pail of the water' The truth is I never really liked Jack And now I've got your flat hat, crack and your cat So, Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
