Jack the Lad

[Verse 1]

Lawrence in the desert

How was he to know

Under so much pressure

From the men back home?

[Pre-Chorus]

Play with fire, you must be mad

Are you only Jack the Lad?

Play with guns, you must be bad

Or hiding something, Jack

[Verse 2]

Telling lies in public

Breaking codes at home

Underneath the blankets

For another role

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell these lies, you must be mad

Are you only Jack the Lad?

To feast with panthers every night

You must be careful, Jack!

[Chorus]

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

[Post-Chorus]

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

Will fall

[Verse 3]

Philby in the desert

Looking for a phone

Waiting on the pavement

For a call from home

[Pre-Chorus]

Play with fire, you must be mad

Are you only Jack the Lad?

Turn your back on friends you had

They must have hurt you, Jack!

[Chorus]

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

[Post-Chorus]

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

[Chorus]

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

[Post-Chorus]

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

We all fall, even Jack the Lad

Will fall
