lyrics

Susan rolls the hall
While gold and red leaves fall
She dreams that she could run
through the autumn sun
but she can’t walk anymore

Richard was the one 
Her one in one million
When the rear breaks failed
behind a semi trailer 
he was buried in the autumn sun

Now at night he comes 
To the sound of conga drums
He wakes her from her sleep
Susan throws off the sheets
& they’re dancing on the one

When you see the light, hold on tight
Tonight’s the night 
Come dancing with your baby

Roll the dice, pay the price
Say good night 
Come dancing with your baby

Morning Susan wakes 
A feeling so sedate 
Richard was here, I felt him kiss my ear
We were dancing cheek to cheek

He told me to up my dose
That way we’d always be so close
Mix the vicodin with the methadone
No more sad days on our own

When you see the light, hold on tight
Tonight’s the night Come dancing with your baby
Roll the dice, pay the price Say good night 
Come dancing with your baby
I need her love like the wind 
To blow autumn leaves – Start again

Hijack!

Great album. Although Endless Recordings don't do Jack any favours. Ordered Deluxe vinyl edition with L tshirt. Sent me an XXL tshirt and didn't include hat. Emailed them twice and they IGNORE me. Be WARY if you buy from Endless Recordings, it seems THEY DON'T CARE ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY. Time to contact my bank for a chargeback. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Wanted to support a new indie label but they won't get far if they treat fans like this matty_zee
