Song for the Last Act - Jack Wilkins

If I was a drunk I'd drink you off my mind If I was a stoner Well, I'd roll you up and get high Guess I'm a dreamer Wastin' all my time Stickin' around Givin' a damn what's on your mind I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time If I had a car I'd slam it down in drive I'd cross a thousand miles Just to find a place to hide You wanna work things out Well, sorry not this time I hate the things that you do And the way that you move I ain't givin' it another try I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, if I was a drunk

Another fish head in the dustbin Another loser in the queue for the soup kitchen Another reason for a visit We think you'd better come down Another negro on the woodpile Another honky on the dole Another trip from off the 15th floor The greatest story ever told Was so wrong, so wrong 'Cause you promised milk and honey With an everlasting life And we listened with our ears closed And a blindness in our eyes But we heard them as they nailed you And we saw you crucified The second coming of the Holy Ghost We need a pocketful of miracles Two thousand years and he ain't shown yet We kept his seat warm and the table set The Second Sitting for the Last Supper Supper, Supper Another Guru in the money Another mantra in the mail An easy way from rags to riches God's little acre's up for sale The time is right for ressurection We think you'd better come down The church don't ring with hallelujahs (Hallelujahs) You haven't been for so long So long, so long Two thousand years and he ain't shown yet We kept his seat warm and the table set The Second Sitting for the Last Supper Supper, Supper

How could I ever resist the pull? Ten thousand loves that could save my soul I tried, but you know I save the best for last Won't let your love, oh, become the past I don't need the coast; drive you from your home Swallow your pride deep, let it go I'm in the distance as a calling bell Into the future I am running I'm saving the best for last I'm waiting to turn the tide I'm saving the best for last I'm making up the time (saving the best for last) In the distance, there's a calling bell Into the future through the hounds of Hell I try into the fire, you're a falling star In your eyes, oh, I see it all How could I ever resist the pull? They told me love, it could save my soul I tried, but you know I saved the best for last I'm breaking away now I'm saving the best for last I'm waiting to turn the tide I'm saving the best for last I'm making up the time (making up the time) In the distance, there's a calling bell Into the future through the hounds of Hell I try into, you're a falling star In your eyes, oh, I see it all How could I ever resist the pull? They told me love, it could save my soul I tried, but you know I saved the best for last I'm breaking away now I'm saving the best for last (Could you follow me? Could you wait for me? Could you Come with me?) I'm waiting to turn the tide (Could you follow me? Could you wait for me? Could you Come with me?) I'm saving the best for last (Could you follow me? Could you wait for me? Could you Come with me?) I'm making up the time (Could you follow me? Could you wait for me? Could you come With me?) I'm saving the best for last I'm saving the best for last

Well now's the time for gettin' honest About all you want to be All the things you're dreaming of And all the things you see Well I'm so sick and tired Of trying to be myself I don't know who I am Am I somebody else? And it really doesn't matter much How many times you say to me And it really doesn't matter much, no Doesn't matter now all that much to me Cos' I got more than most Cos' I got more than most Well then you came and you caught my eye Well I grabbed my stuff and said goodbye to you Oh you My love Well now to see you for the last time I wonder what we'd say Try to stop the sun going down Try to find a way I hope I never find Answers I don't need I know how long my love may last Fine if it succeeds
