Lyrics
Queenie Eye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There were rules you never told me
Never came up with a plan
All the stories that you sold me
Didn't help me understand
But I had to get it worked out
Had nobody who could help
So then in the end it turned out
That I had to do it by myself
Life's a game, rags to riches
Dogs and bitches hunt for fame
Difficult to know which way to turn
Lay the blame on the snitches
Wicked witches fan the flame
Careful what you touch in case you burn
Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
Play the game, take your chances
Every dance is much the same
Doesn't matter which of them you choose
Never blame circumstances
With romances seldom came
Never pick a fight you're gonna lose
Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
It's long way, to the finish
When you've never been before
I was nervous, but I did it
Now I'm going back for more
That's out
Yeah (ay), yeah (ay), ay, ay, ay
Ay (yeah), ay (yeah), ay, ay, ay (yeah)
Hear the people shout
Yeah (ay), yeah (ay), ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, yeah, yeah
Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
