Shadow And Jimmy Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Shadow And 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
