Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too high to quit, too young to dance
So roll me ez nice 'n' slow
Set me up and book me to go
Sometimes watcha see ain't watcha get
But I gotta have some cos
I ain't had none yet
So while I sit here all on my own
Come on in sit right down
Let the word just pass around
That if you're feeling lonely and sad
You need some juke joint rhythm 'n' jazz
Get on board - take that ride
Come on in don't wait outside
S'all you'll need when your feelings are bad
A little shot of rhythm 'n' jazz
I'm gonna sell my shoes shave down my head
Gonna buy some wings and fly instead
I've been busted and robbed and
Now I'm being sued
Got them nothing more or less blues
Now everytime I smile I almost choke
If and when I laugh it lies dead in my throat
And I might just end up non compos mad
If it weren't for my rhythm 'n' jazz
Come on in sit right down
Let the word just pass around
That if you're feeling lonely and sad
You need some juke joint rhythm 'n' jazz
Get on board - take that ride
Come on in don't wait outside
S'all you'll need when your feelings are bad
A little shot of rhythm 'n' jazz
