Jack - Cosmo Jarvis

Jack lived with David

Whose brother knew a she male

Lived with her sister

Whose father mugged a priest

He’s stocked with religion

Intended to his daughter

Just a chef with cancer

Who made the Christmas feast

Carved the chicken with her doctor

And the doctors son

Who hit a bit with glasses

Whose mother had just died

She loved reading books

And walking with her eyes closed

Had a heart condition

Her husband always lied

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

Yeah it all comes back to Jack

He was sleeping with his partner

Married to a lawyer

Whose client killed his girlfriend

Who stayed in a hotel

Owned by her close friend Mary

Who feared only Jesus

Slept with just one woman

Whose nephew wasn’t well

The victim of a car crash

When riding to his uncle’s

To show him how he’d done at school

At just the age of nine

His best friend’s name was Tom

Who never spoke a word

Except to all his soldiers

He played army all the time

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

Yeah it all comes back to Jack

His father bought him presents

But just from time to time

Once he bought a helmet

From an army surplus store

It closed after two weeks

Replaced by an arcade

Stocked so full less than half (?)

There was no market anymore

The old ex owner

Was soon inside an urn

Made by a smoking potter

At the age of 82

Began to drink his whiskey

Which he stole from his neighbor

She was getting lonely

She did not know what to do

She’d telephone young Isaac

Her one and only son

Lived in Spain with his wife

Who spends all day out on the lawn

She missed her only brother

Whose girlfriend was a porn star

Whose boss was a butcher

But now he makes porn

He made his naked movies

Sold everywhere

One was bought by David

Who stared at every rack

He took it home and watched it

And then he wrote a note

«Man you’ve gotta watch this»

And left it there for Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

Yeah it all comes back to a boy named Jack

(…instrumental…)

Yeah it all comes back to Jack
