Jesse James Bolero Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

Jesse was a renegade, danced to his own drum 

Growin' wise could wait till tomorrow 

Took to a road signposted sorrow 

Jesse was a hooligan, jumped right off the rail 

There in the cards there in the tarot 

Born to despise the straight and the narrow 

Jesse was a connoisseur, home cookin' tasted stale 

Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run 

Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son 

Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop 

Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop ? 

Jesse didn't hear the drum suddenly lose time 

All his plans crafted, clever 

Fated unborn, unfinished forever 

Jesse didn't hear the drum stop outside his door 

In his dreams destiny towered 

In the cold light of day it came as a coward 

Jesse didn't hear the drum at the age of thirty four 

Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run 

Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son 

Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop 

Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop ? 

Jesse James Bolero is a dance upon the run 

Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son 

Jesse James is waiting for the cheap music to stop 

Don't goodbye deserve some bach not barbershop ?
