The Jig Is Up · letra

Verse 1

I am a troubled man Trouble is what I am I am a troubled man And I'll take all you can give me

Pre-Chorus 1

I walk alone Hand in hand with my trouble But still nobody's home

Chorus 1

I'm in the poorhouse forever I'm in the doghouse forever And ever with you

Verse 2

I am a simple man Simple is what I am I am quite simply mad And not particularly glad to be You were a simple friend I complicated you, then I lost a simple friend All complications unending

Pre-Chorus 2

I think alone I could use some good help with my thinking It's so far from home

Chorus 2

I could think of you forever I could think of us together But never mind

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

I am a lonely man Lonely is what I am Heartbroken, lonely I think of you only Are you with me?

Pre-Chorus 3

I wasn't ever that smart No, and I wasn't clever To think I had hold of your heart

Chorus 3

I could break your heart forever I could break mine and yours Both right in two after you

Pre-Chorus 4

I won't go gently into that bad earth I will fight for you with all that's in me For all that it's worth

Chorus 4

Can I run to you forever? 'Cause if I can't run to you forever How can I run to you now?

Outro

You live on my doorstep Is there room in my house?
