Jacky - Live, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, 1992

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from a coffee bar
But what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I'd give them something, no
I'd expect something in return

I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about royalty
With some old grandmother that might
Be decked out like a Christmas tree

But no pink elephants I'd see
I'd be as drunk as I could be
I'd sing that song they sang to me
About the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

And if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I could have my own bordellos

My records would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
Also by many other fellows

My name would then be handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whiskey that came from Twickenham
Authentic queens and phony virgins

I'd have a bank on every finger
And every finger in every country
And every country ruled by me
I'd still know where I want to be

Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some Chinamen
I'd sing that song that I sang then
About the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

Now tell me, wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies out there?
And they would sing along with me
And be so happy there to be
Because down below is really nowhere
My name would then be Jupiter
And I would know where I was going
Be calm knowing my beard so very long and flowing

If I could play deaf, dumb and blind
Because I pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I'd know that every single night

When my angelic work was through
The angels and the devil too
Would sing that childish song to me
About the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

Jackie
