Pinball Lyrics by Brian Protheroe

Pinball

1974

[Verse 1]
And I've run out of pale ale
And I feel like I'm in jail
And my music bores me once again
And I've been on the pinball
And I no longer know it all
And they say that you never know when you're insane
[Verse 2]
Got fleas in the bedroom
Got flies in the bathroom
And the cat just finished off the bread
So I walk over Soho
And I read about Monroe
And I wonder, was she really what they said?
[Verse 3]
Got a call from a good friend
"Come on down for the weekend"
Didn't know if I could spare the time
I knew a woman who was crazy
'Bout a boy who was lazy
But it didn't work out 'cause they just couldn't make it rhyme
[Verse 4]
Hey, Jude, you were all right
I could've grooved with you all night
But you turned your back on the party game, yeah
Mama, if I keep my head clean
Will I really have a good dream?
Or will I wake up in confusion just the same?
[Saxophone solo]
[Outro]
And I've run out of pale ale
(And I've been on the pinball)
And I feel like I'm in jail
(And I no longer know it all)
Got fleas in the bedroom
(So I walk over Soho)
Got flies in the bathroom
(And I read about Monroe)
Got a call from a good friend
(Knew a woman who was crazy)
Come on down for the weekend
('Bout a boy who was lazy)
Hey, Jude, you were all right
(Mama, if I keep my head clean)
I could've grooved with you all night
(Will I really have a good dream?)
And I've been on the pale ale
(And I've been on the pale ale)
And I feel like a pinball
(And I feel like a pinball)
And I feel like a pinball
And I feel like a pinball
