The Go-betweens - Little Joe lyrics

Everyone knows everybody else Let's skip introductions Talk on little joe His mother left for me to mind A 100 a week A lovely guy of 26 Loves only the lonely Little joe Oh no here he comes Laughing with an old joke Don't you cry Never do a days work Nothing 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 wishing Took up hoping Hoping joe will settle down Shoe store A movie house Something like Something like a french comedy He's patronised by gentle souls Their best intensions are their own Don't you cry Never do a days work Nothing of value will ever get hurt I've always been a man of the track Took joe down to the track So here we sit Joe and i Joe and i Little joe Don't you cry Never do a days work Nothing of value will ever get hurt The whole world Lets get our balance in the mid-night air
