The Jazz Butcher -  Shirley Maclaine

from the album  Condition Blue
or the Australian single  Shirley Maclaine


Put this man on the stand
Just play him to the punters
With a bloody great big card marked with 4
I'm not getting out of here
I'm not getting out even if I have to
Even if it's all I can do.

This is the reason I stopped going to the pictures
This is the last thing that I thought could ever happen
I want off this case
I want off this case
But I know my place
By the way I like your face

I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high
Yeah
I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high

Some of my life's like ?
Where the German guys go Ahhhh
It's not like love and it isn't like sex
And it's going to be that way for always
Map of africa hour therapist's field-day
Batten down the hatches there's a fire in the engine room
Let's not do that let's not talk about it
I don't read those books and by the way I like your looks

I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high
I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high

Break down..

Kitty in a minefield doesn't set them off
Kitty in a minefield not heavy enough
Too cute to live too dumb to die
Too much in love to let it lie
Continental drift one more crowded elevator
Not another candy-coloured ? from braindead matrons
Shut the door please shut the door
Flipper says "hi", yeah flipper says "bye-bye"

I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high
Yes
I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high
Hey
I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine since I was so high
Oh
I've had a thing about Shirley Maclaine now I just get high

Shirley Maclaine in a minefield
Betty Davis in a minefield
Audrey Hepburn in a minefield
Francis Farmer in a minefield
