Jet Set Jewel - Jack Bruce

Jet Set Jewel

(Brown/Bruce)

The jet set steal each others' men

And women

Ride each other

Through the star-encrusted night

Everything’s allright

When chips are down

There’s always trips

In other peoples' clothes

Hey jaded rose

Hey deepset jewel

Why must you be so cruel?

The jet set up each others' price

And vices

Toast each other

In the yacht-bespangled bay

Everything’s so gay

When time is bad

There’s always sniffs

While other faces pose

Hew jaded rose

Hey deepset jewel

How can you be so cruel?

The jet set smash each others' cars

And wine bars

Smoke each other

Through the hide-upholstered dream

Everything’s the cream

When games are lost

There’s always planes

To other peoples' shows

Hey jaded rose

Hey deepset jewel

How can you be so cruel?

Through the coloured glass

I can see I’m getting

out of my class

There’s a German girl

With a ringmaster’s whip

At the front of the ship

O drag me down so I can’t see

How high you get

O bring me up so I can’t see

The low hung places

Where we met

You and me

Jet set

The jet set grab each others' purse

And reverse

Ask each other

To the diamond sequinned bal

Everything is all

(Into each pocket

A little rain must fall)

When wine is spilt

There’s always laughs

In someone else’s nose

Hey jaded rose

Hey deepsetjewel

Hey jaded rose

Why must you be so cruel?
