"Editions Of You" lyrics
"Editions Of You"
Well, I'm here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step in to my life
Another fine edition of you
A pin-up done in shades of blue
'Cause sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
The country air and all its joys
But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price
For just another night with the boys, oh yeah
And boys will be boys, will be boys
They say love's a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
And while sun shines you'd better make hay
So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
Then let the chips fall where they may
In modern times, the modern way
And as I was drifting past the Lorelei
I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo
So look out, sailor, when you hear them croon
You'll never be the same again, oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane - this way
So love, leave me, do what you will
Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don't play yourself for a fool
Too much cheesecake too soon
Old money's better than new
No mention in the latest Tribune
And don't let this happen to you
Thanks to Houpminloon for correcting these lyrics.

To be face to face with a world so alive
