Elvis Costello - Shadow & Jimmy lyrics

Shadow and jimmy were always yesterday's news Jimmy's a bowler, shadow rents out his green bowling shoes Late friday night when the bars are all shuttered and dark He shadows back jimmy to the lot in the lost trailer park For shadow and jimmy all the weekends end up the same If it's saturday night, then it must be the hockey game After cold beer and barbecued ribs the night is complete With wrestling stories and elegant bones That are tired of walking and on their way home Chorus And they talk about the women And they look at the girls They'll never know the ways of the world They've got a mouthful of much obliged And a handful of gimme And the love for each other Of shadow and jimmy For shadow and jimmy now the story is told There's nothing to hold on to and no one to hold Men without women are like fish without Water to swim in With their eyes bugging out They flop on the beach And look up at the girls Who are just out of reach
