Dave Stewart - Jackie Where You Been

I was playing at the railway station
Guitar pickin' I could barely hear
Got moved on by a couple of coppers
Watched the rainfall on the River Wear

I woke up hungry waiting for that crazy girl
She knows I love her and the game she plays
We were meant to jump a train by daybreak
Said she'd be back in a couple of days

Jackie where you been
Cause I've been waiting
Jackie where you been
I'm still waiting

If I could make it down to Leeds University
There's a student who used to live next door
Climb through his window and read his book on Socrates
Maybe find myself, sleep on his floor

All the while I'd be thinking about my future
Hallucinating that my luck would change
But you would show up with a suitcase full of lucre
And wrap around me like Honey, keep the change

Jackie where you been
Cause I've been waiting
Jackie where you been
I'm still waiting
Jackie where you been

So that's the way I got to join the circus
With honest John and a couple of friends
Like Pinocchio, I got to see the bad boy show
I wonder where the story ends
