ROD STEWART - Every Picture Tells A Story lyrics
rate me(rod stewart / ron wood)<br><br>Spent some time feelin' inferior<br>Standing in front of my mirror<br>Combed my hair in a thousand ways<br>But I came out looking just the same<br><br>Daddy said, 'son, you better see the world<br>I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave<br>But remember one thing don't lose your head<br>To a woman that'll spend your bread'<br>So I got out<br><br>Paris was a place you could hide away<br>If you felt you didn't fit in<br>French police wouldn't give me no peace<br>They claimed I was a nasty person<br>Down along the left bank minding my own<br>Was knocked down by a human stampede<br>Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot<br>When all I wanted was a cup of tea<br>I was accused<br>I moved on<br><br>Down in rome I wasn't getting enough<br>Of the things that keeps a young man alive<br>My body stunk but I kept my funk<br>At a time when I was right out of luck<br>Getting desperate indeed I was<br>Looking like a tourist attraction<br>Oh my dear I better get out of here<br>'for the vatican don't give no sanction<br>I wasn't ready for that, no no<br><br>I moved right out east yeah!<br>On the peking ferry I was feeling merry<br>Sailing on my way back here<br>I fell in love with a slit eyed lady<br>By the light of an eastern moon<br>Shangai lil never used the pill<br>She claimed that it just ain't natural<br>She took me up on deck and bit my neck<br>Oh people I was glad I found her<br>Oh yeah I was glad I found her<br><br>I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me<br>I sincerely thought I was so complete<br>Look how wrong you can be<br><br>The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe<br>They wouldn't give you the time of day<br>But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet<br>God I was glad I found her<br>And if they had the words I could tell to you<br>To help you on the way down the road<br>I couldn't quote you no dickens, shelley or keats<br>'cause it's all been said before<br>Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off<br>You didn't have to come here anyway<br>So remember, every picture tells a story don't it
