Every Picture Tells A Story [Live - Wembly 4/5/91]
(Two, two-two, three)
Spent some time feeling inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But it came out looking just the same
Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
Just remember one thing, don't lose your head
To a woman that'll spend your bread"
I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
The French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the left bank, minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused, I was abused, oh yeah
On the Peeking ferry, I was feelin' merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady
Lord, I was glad I found her
Shanghai pill, never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
Took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people, I was glad I found her, yeah whoa
Ooh, yeah!
I firmly believed that I
Didn't need anybody but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
But look how wrong you can be
Make the best out of the bad joke, man, laugh it off
You didn't need to come here anyway
Just remember, every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
