Lloyd Cole - Blame Mary Jane lyrics

blaming mary jane I'm drinking cheap -bahrein-

she's getting prettier by the ....

she says i should care more for

the rich and the poor but i

can't find the energy blame mary jane

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers

shut my ear to the news

I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon

yes i am

speak plain mary jane

could you give your hand to a man that

never gave a damn

that's why i rather sleep than thinking

nothing more than drinking

all i want is to blame mary jane

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers

shut my ear to the news

I'm gonna lose my soul to the long lonesome

afternoons, yes i am

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers

shut my ear to the news

I'm gonna lose my soul to the lonesome afternoon

oh maybe i won't be your whipping boy

i won't be your whipping boy

shame baby shame oh shame sweet mary jane

i truly do love you

she said that i should care more

for that body of yours

if you carry the weight of the world oh my

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers

shut my ear to the news

I'm gonna lose my soul in the long lonesome afternoon

yes i am

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers

shut my ear to the news

I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon

maybe i will be your whipping boy

maybe i will
