Jackson Joe Laughter & Lust The Old Songs (words and music by Joe Jackson) There goes another one Another happy couple on the road to emptiness I think of my father and mother Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess But the old songs say - love's forever And the old songs never say die But a song can't keep us together How can that beautiful song be a lie Me I blame the old songs Filling hearts with rebellion and romance Our book of revelations And all we had to do was dance Play us another one Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago They're all over the bloody radio It's like they're telling us there's nowhere left to go And the old songs say - "Be my baby" And the old songs say - "She loves you" All the songs we'll sing come what may be I like those songs But I'd like something new Me I blame the old songs Protect us all against a change of course All our great expectations Turn to alimony and remorse (C) 1991 Pokazuka Ltd.
