Kevin Coyne Jackie And Edna Lyrics

You called me Jacky, I called you Edna

Sitting in the green arcade, laughing at the paper hats we've made

The white sea wall, the boarding house

Sitting round the table, your sister, mother, brother and little boy

Now I'm so lonely, just a picture of you

Stuck up in my bedroom, everywhere I go I think of you

Chorus: Why can't we go out darling like we did before?

Life should be ever open, ever open door

Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone

They say you're married with children of your own.

Called me Jacky, I called you Edna

The white seagulls around, circle breaking, what a sound
The big arcade, the noise inside

Seen you drift down the peer, oh how your grey skirt glides

You know it"s right, it can't be wrong

Just two weeks, one summer, didn't last so very long

Chorus

Called me Jacky, I called you Edna

Now you're gone away, living somewhere, no-one will say

Not a line, a single card, sitting in this lonely room

Don't you know the times are hard

No work at all, no money too

Dreaming, dreaming dreams, lonesome dreams with tales of you

Chorus
