Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story Lyrics
(rod stewart / ron wood)Spent some time feelin inferiorStanding in front of my mirrorCombed my hair in a thousand waysBut I came out looking just the sameDaddy said, son, you better see the worldI wouldnt blame you if you wanted to leaveBut remember one thing dont lose your headTo a woman thatll spend your breadSo I got outParis was a place you could hide awayIf you felt you didnt fit inFrench police wouldnt give me no peaceThey claimed I was a nasty personDown along the left bank minding my ownWas knocked down by a human stampedeGot arrested for inciting a peacful riotWhen all I wanted was a cup of teaI was accusedI moved onDown in rome I wasnt getting enoughOf the things that keeps a young man aliveMy body stunk but I kept my funkAt a time when I was right out of luckGetting desperate indeed I wasLooking like a tourist attractionOh my dear I better get out of herefor the vatican dont give no sanctionI wasnt ready for that, no noI moved right out east yeah!On the peking ferry I was feeling merrySailing on my way back hereI fell in love with a slit eyed ladyBy the light of an eastern moonShangai lil never used the pillShe claimed that it just aint naturalShe took me up on deck and bit my neckOh people I was glad I found herOh yeah I was glad I found herI firmly believe that I didnt need anyone but meI sincerely thought I was so completeLook how wrong you can beThe women Ive known I wouldnt let tie my shoeThey wouldnt give you the time of dayBut the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feetGod I was glad I found herAnd if they had the words I could tell to youTo help you on the way down the roadI couldnt quote you no dickens, shelley or keatscause its all been said beforeMake the best out of the bad just laugh it offYou didnt have to come here anywaySo remember, every picture tells a story dont it
