Young Men Gone West Lyrics

Around the singles bar, playing parlour games

Marriane plays kiss and run and waves her welcomes again.

She's way out after dark, painted for the part,

to steal some young man's week away and rob him of his

heart.

To tease the lonelv brute with the dark blue tatoo

They choose the longer route up to his room

And leaning an the light, pursuing dirty nights

and eagle out on bail surveys his nails.

CHORUS

Young men gone west for a city roof

Young men gone west for their gin and vermouth

Young men gone west, it's young men for the boys

Leaving the next for their jewels and toys

Young men gone west from unhappy homes

Leading the way for the lonely ones.

Now Harry's lost weekend is trembling to a close,

He's drowned his dreams in nicotine and pawned his

overcoat

He stumbles to the stairs, disturbs a love affair,

he shuffles as they stare and begs to be elsewhere

But can he claim a willing ear before they disappear

He's sure a lover's time worth a dime.

CHORUS

Young men gone west into kisses and crime

Seeing the stairway and wanting to, climb

Young men gone west for the rodeo, mistaking strangers

for people they know

Young men gone west, just wasting their days

Asking directions and losing their way.
