or hiding something, Jack
Telling lies in public
Breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets
for another role
Tell these lies you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
To feast with panthers every night
you must be careful, Jack

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you
A
You're not the only fool
E D C
We all fall, l even Jack the lad
E D C Db Em
We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall
Philby in the desert
looking for a phone
waiting on the pavement
for a call from home
Play with fire you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have hurt you, Jack
