Jackie Down The Line Lyrics

[Intro]
Do do do
La la la

[Verse 1]
My friend Sally says she knows ya
Got a funny point of view
Says you got away with murder
Maybe one time, maybe two

Something happens in the morning
When I can't see those failing eyes
I can't find a good word for ya
Does it come as a surprise?

[Chorus]
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt you, I'll desert you
I am Jackie down the line

[Verse 2]
Said did Sally 'bout a future
Before you bored of her as well
If all you want is entertainment
If you can't have it you make hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make no odds for ye
To be told, yeah
Don't make no odds for ye
To be told, yeah

[Chorus]
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt you, I'll desert you
I am Jackie down the line
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will make your secrets mine
I will hate ye, I'll debase ye I am Jackie down the line

Do do do
La la la

[Verse 3]
So come on down to Sally's boneyard
See her spirit in decline
See the handsome mourners crying
They hawked a beating heart for a sturdy spine, yeah

What good is happiness to me
If I've to wield it carefully?
For care I'll always come up short
It's only right
[Chorus]
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will wear you down in time
I will hurt ye, I'll desert ye
I'm one Jackeen of a line
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will take up all your time
I will chew ye, I'll go through ye
I am Jackie down the line
I don't think we'd rhyme
I will make your secrets mine
I will hate ye, I'll debase ye
I am Jackie down the line
And I will stone ye, I'll alone ye
I am Jackie down the line
If I can make you, I can break you
I am Jackie down the line
I am Jackie down the line

[Outro]
Do do do
La la la
