Some Speculation

The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer

Well let me tell you something,

let me tell you so

This could be the one thing

that you really need to know

You got to stop once in a while

and shake off that face of yours

Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free

You could sing it better

if you'd sing it for me, oh sister

Well cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home

She said Don't you look ridiculous

I checked her out meticulously

And though I would've stopped to argue

but my teeth were broke

I said I'd love to contradict you

but my life's a joke, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

the books are on the table

and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow

wind them up and here we go

Get it right today

and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly

to some she was a singer

Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be

It's all based on speculation

seems a crazy occupation to me

And though I didn't much believe her

I was bound to call

I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all,

oh sister

Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer

I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her

Put your hands together

for the Acid jazz singer, come on

End
