The Day That Jackie Jumped the Jail Lyrics

The day that Jackie jumped the jailThe day that Jackie jumped the jail
There was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway
Thirty thousand fireworks
Took the piss out of Princes Street Gardens
So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener
See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morningSun will be up again
You, you will be loved againAfter the sausages and cream of the barley
There was a frame or two
To be had at the 'Imperial' on Mitchell Street
Five years ago he'd buried her memory
With a snooker cue on a daft wee student's head
Still he remembered everythingThe sun will be up again
And you, you will be loved again
And the wind and the rain
And the wind and the rain, falls aroundI don't know, I don't knowAs he walked down Hope Street
He thought about the last time they'd been together
He'd been wearing a green parka
And he'd bought her yellow stilettos that squeezed her toesHe'd told her the whole story

As she took him into the wee pen behind Sloan's
And let him feel her all over for the last time
Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him upThe sun will be up again
And you, you will be loved again
You will be loved againAnd the wind and the rain
And the wind and the rain, falls around
All over this townFalls around
All over this town
All over this townFalls around
All over, all over, all over
