Little Joe - Lyrics by Go-Betweens


Lyrics
Everyone knows everybody else
Let's skip introductions
Talk on little Joe
His mother left for me to minda 100 a week
A lovely guy of 26loves only the lonelylittle Joe
Oh no here he comeslaughing with an old joke
Don't you crynever do a days worknothing of value will ever get hurt
Joes no trouble he ran for mayor
The mafia car bombed my car
I said you're not running for mayor
Gave up wishingtook up hopinghoping Joe will settle down
Shoe storea movie housesomething likesomething like a french comedy
He's patronised by gentle soulstheir best intensions are their own
Don't you crynever do a days worknothing of value will ever get hurt
I've always been a man of the tracktook Joe down to the track
So here we sit
Joe and I
Joe and I
Little Joe
Don't you crynever do a days worknothing of value will ever get hurt
The whole worldlets get our balance in the mid-night air
