Jewel


Music by Brian Huddell
Words by David Keith and Brian Huddell

I watched her talk on channel four
I like what she says she knows
She deserves a lot of credit for
faking unaffected prose

But how could she know how the damage is done?
How could she know that she's much too young.
It's all of that Nietsche Nirvana and Jung I suppose

You must enjoy epiphanies and galvanizing pain
You must be pretty sure of things
to take such a leap of faith

but who has bestowed you such wisdom and grace?
You're old in the soul Jewel and young in the face
scattering marbles all over the place

I don't like to give false hope
to nobody but myself
I don't like to sing "It's all right"
but I like to hear it myself

Never again shall I trust anyone
as easy as I am to get something from
I'm probably never going to come tonight

then you discovered politics
That night was such a blur
Till you were more American
Than I dared to hope you were

Unshaken immovable unwavering soul
it is my misfortune to have and to hold
one of a million lottery tickets unsold

I don't like to give false hope
to nobody but myself
I don't like to sing "It's all right"
but I like to hear it myself
