Looking for Jack
(Lyrics: Colin Hay, Music: Colin Hay & Jeremy Alsop)
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in the water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
I always wanted to be like Jack
He's as cool as they come
Yeah I always wanted to be like Jack
Still for me, he's the one
SomedaySomeday
SomedaySomeday
Hear the wind blow through the long grass
I hear laughter in the night
No revelations as the years pass
They disappear from sight
As I grow older I grow younger
Every day is like a dream
I wouldn't go back for a moment
Except for maybe seventeen
SomedaySomeday
SomedaySomeday
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in the water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
Even Jack is always looking for Jack
He's always in another room
And when I spoke to the woman there
She said he left this afternoon
SomedaySomeday…
