Jack talking, this is Jack talking
he said I'm coming to London
I'm sick and tired of the sun
he said I'm coming to London
I'm gonna have some fun
I says Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
he said Phew I nearly got married
To a bride in black
You know she was always so angry
She's always ready to attack
that was Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
repeat
I'm gonna tell him what to do
Because he's such a fool he's always looking for the easy way out
There's only love and hate time and fate
The rest is the rest is the rest is...
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
he said I'm finished with acting
Makes you feel like Jesus or John Wayne (Yeah!)
So I'm coming to London (Yeah!)
I'm gonna hang out in the rain (hang out in the rain)
Ah it's Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
And I love him
Instrumental... He's divine
What's he gonna say Jack swing it
I'm goona tell him what to do
Because he's such a fool he's always looking for the easy way out
There's only love and hate time and fate
The rest is the rest is the rest is...
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
Jack talking (Jack talking to you)
We better listen to that man (repeat chorus thoughout)
Because he knows things well we don't understand
He's got the world listening
