The Ballad of Michael Valentine



Michael plays with stars (Ahhh-ahhh)
Soul sister won't you take a (Ahhh-ahhh) ride in his car
Late to call (Ahhh-ahhh) when you wanted to (Ahhh-ahhh) be all
Baby don't be so shy (Ahhh-ahhh)
Rock children hold your heads (Ahhh-ahhh) up high
In the night, while I try (Ahhh-ahhh)
And tell the ballad of Valentine

(You got it bad but you know it's true)

I caught up with a friend in Dallas
We took a trip to New Orleans
Those black-eyed ladies
Won't say they're sorry

We finally caught a train to Memphis
Where everybody talks the same
Those blue suede babies
All know my name

And I said hold tight
Can't you see that it's hurting me
But I've got the buzz, like Marlon Brando
Michael Valentine can't we unite

We ended up in North Dakota
Although my hearts in Mexico
My Muñequita
____ went to Soho

With your new suit and your black tie, hold on
You're just (new suit) a gambling man (black tie) all proper like
I broke to the right, and I caught your eye
Shut your mouth, and wave goodbye tonight

I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

And I said hold tight
Can't you see that it's hurting me
But I've got the buzz, like Marlon Brando
Straight faced with misery tonight

And I will not lie when I said I ain't cold no more
But I've got the buzz, like Greta Garbo
Walking forwards to the sun
And I've got a cold tale left to write

Well uh oh, I know he's gonna be there tonight.


Many Thanks to Luke
