Blondes
from The Given by Colin Vearncombe
lyrics
If you don't know when or where
Any road will take you there
But won't bring you back again
It was a long road to the top
And a short one to the drop
I do what I can
It's what Jack and Jackie knew
Brigette and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the world
Back in nineteen forty five
It was just good to be alive
Though we followed skinny shadows in ht edirt
What did I do in the war?
Shaking like a leaf in fall
A player looking or a vote
Love came with a ransom note
Or Worse
Another innocence was through
"Good Luck charm" and "Love me do"
and we were never the same again
And that Jimi got to play
In 'Nam the choppers got to rain
It was like Jack and Jackie knew
Brigette and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the world
Blondes ruled the world
Any road will take you there
But won't bring you back again
It was a long road to the top
And a short one to the drop
I do what I can
It's what Jack and Jackie knew
Brigette and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the world
Back in nineteen forty five
It was just good to be alive
Though we followed skinny shadows in ht edirt
What did I do in the war?
Shaking like a leaf in fall
A player looking or a vote
Love came with a ransom note
Or Worse
Another innocence was through
"Good Luck charm" and "Love me do"
and we were never the same again
And that Jimi got to play
In 'Nam the choppers got to rain
It was like Jack and Jackie knew
Brigette and Marilyn too
When blondes ruled the world
Blondes ruled the world
