lyrics

Oh why do I meet Mary Jane down by the lane?
Simply because she makes the boredom go away
But why would I trust her to show me the way?
When she just takes my hand, leads me astray
To the house says let’s stay in and not leave the room
I’m going nowhere and neither are you
My eyes are red and her eyes are green
She is a rose and roses and roses have their weeds

She brings the fog and she brings the haze
She brings the mist as she brings the daze
She makes me forget about friend and foe
Pain and pleasure, worry and woe
In the house says let’s stay in and not leave the room
I’m going nowhere, nowhere soon
My eyes are red and hers are green
She is a rose and roses have their weeds

Oh why do I meet Mary Jane down by the lane?
Simply because she makes the boredom go away
But why would I trust her to show me the way?
When she just takes my hand, takes it the wrong way
But she ain’t all bad, she’s far from that
She keeps away the stress and the loneliness
Life cheats with shadow and she brings a light
I guess she must do, she got me through tonight

Gary Crowley, a BBC DJ, sweetly said we were 'The band he had been waiting for'. ... more
