Jack & Jill
Lyrics
JACK & JILL
© 2015 Sahlen-Starburst

You're my bedrock of Gibraltar, you're a nasty, sexy sort
I would take you to the altar, a dream for me to court
Surrender my possessions even give a limb or two
I would be your love slave, I'd do anything for you

(Chorus)
When I saw you dancing uptown wearing just a feathered fan
Almost found sublime commitment like a strangulated man
Nearly reached a golden moment beyond fantasy fulfilled
When I saw your feathered purpose, I was Jack and you were Jill

You're my nightmare made in heaven; you're the best and worst of all
Now I'm barely standing upright since I took the fatal fall
You're the sizzling essence of the dream that makes me burn
I would gladly sell my soul if you would love me in return

(Chorus)
When I saw you dancing uptown wearing just a feathered fan
Almost found sublime commitment like a strangulated man
Nearly reached a golden moment beyond fantasy fulfilled
When I saw your feathered purpose, I was Jack and you were Jill

Break

Bridge
We can scamper up the hillside; leave the water pail behind
We don't need no fancy pleasures in this grown up nursery rhyme

(Chorus)
When I saw you dancing uptown wearing just a feathered fan
Almost found sublime commitment like a strangulated man
Nearly reached a golden moment beyond fantasy fulfilled
When I saw your feathered purpose, I was Jack and you were Jill
Story Behind the Song:
This is a first very rough sketch for a new song Bobby and I are developing. Subject matter is ....hmmm...a demented love song...of sorts.
