joe jackson – memphis [live] lyrics
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
i got to get away, study my geography
i’m just a shadow of the boy i used to be
i used to see the light, now it’s all a mystery
i used to feel the beat, now i feel a million miles from
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
i used dirty words never too excessively
but saying rock ‘n’ roll never seemed so bad to me
i wanna settle in hip and happy company
i was in and out in a second on my way to
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
memphis, so where the h-ll is memphis?
i had a one-way ticket and a little radio
i turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years ago
somebody smiled and said, that’s the only way to go
he died at twenty-one, now n-body’s innocent in
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
somebody turned around, said, i got to disagree
he wrote that sort of turn people out to anarchy
he made them think about marlon brando on tv
i guess they still went down against anything they got in
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
i met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me
he said, “memphis is nothing like it used to be“
a hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetery
i felt a sudden chill, now i’m not so sure about
memphis, where the h-ll is memphis?
i’m on a lonesome train, on a lonesome track
i guess i’ll jump right off, head for home, double back
and though i’m better now i know that no one knows the facts
i guess i’ll start again, forget i ever heard about
memphis, where the h-ll is
where the h-ll is
where the h-ll is
where the h-ll is memphis?
