Pinball Lyrics

23rd Nov 2012
CAPO: 1st fret (Sounds in key of Ebm)
A cool song, but only a minor UK hit for Brian Protheroe in 1974
And I've run out of pale ale, and I feel like I'm in jail,
And my music bores me once a - gain, | / / / / |
And I've been on the pinball, and I no longer know it all,
And they say that you never know when you're in - sane!
Got fleas in the bed - room, got flies in the bath - room,
And the cat just fin - ished off the bread, | / / / / |
So I walk over Soho, and I read about Monroe,
And I wonder was she really what they said! | / / / / |
Got a call from a good friend, 'Come on down for the week - end!'
Didn't know if I could spare the time, | / / / / |
I knew a woman who was crazy... about a boy who was lazy,
But it didn't work out, 'cause they just couldn't make it rhyme! Mmmm----! Hup!
Hey, Jude, you were alright, I could have grooved with you all night,
But you turned your back on the party game, yeah, | / / / / |
Mamma, if I keep my head clean, will I really have a good dream,
Or will I wake up in con - fusion just the same? | / / / / |
(Sax solo)
||: / / / / | / / / / :|| (Three times)
And I've run out of pale ale---,
(And I've been on the pinball!)
And I feel like I'm in jail---,
(And I no longer know it all!)
Got fleas in the bed - room---,
(So I walk over Soho!)
Got flies in the bath - room---,
(And I read about Monroe!)
Got a call from a good friend---,
(Knew a woman who was crazy...)
'Come on down for the weekend---!'
(...about a boy who was lazy!)
Hey, Jude, you were alright!
(Mamma, if I keep my head clean...)
I could have grooved with you all night!
(...will I really have a good dream?)
And I've been on the pale ale,
(And I've been on the pale ale!)
And I feel like a pinball,
(And I feel like a pinball!)
And I feel like a pinball,
And I feel like a pinball!
