My Friend Jack Lyrics
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps (x2)
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
He's on a voyage
Across an ocean
Heard the sweet sound
Of wheels in motion
He's seen the hook that hides a haloed setting sun
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps (x2)
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
He's seen the people
In the city
In the right lights
They're awful pretty
He's followed dusty tracks to eternity
Eating sugar
Made him purer
Tried to go it in Japan
Down the west coast, he's real famous
Kids all call him Sugar Man
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps (x2)
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
He's on a voyage
Across an ocean
Heard the sweet sound
Of wheels in motion
He's seen the hook that hides a haloed setting sun
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps (x2)
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
Across an ocean
Heard the sweet sound
Of wheels in motion
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
In the city
In the right lights
They're awful pretty
Made him purer
Tried to go it in Japan
Down the west coast, he's real famous
Kids all call him Sugar Man
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
Across an ocean
Heard the sweet sound
Of wheels in motion
Sugar Man hasn't got a care
He's been travelling everywhere
This is an old '60s song by The Smoke. The sugar lumps are acid-soaked. That should make the rest of the song self-explanatory.
By the way, The Smoke's original version is the best. Check it out.
