David and Jenny © Peter James Armstrong, 2010 (Sonic Deli/SOCAN) V1 David was bassist in a big rock and roll band He looked just like an angel standing next to them Found him face down in the matador hotel 6:30 in the morning; vomit all over himself V2 Now Jenny was a/the part of David’s better half She was up at the cottage doing cocaine and hash She never got the message; left her cell on vibrate She was too busy kissing the devil’s golden plate CHORUS YOU’D NEVER GUESS LOOKING AT BOTH OF THEM THAT MONEY AND MANSIONS WON’T CURE YOUR SINS HEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA LIVE JUST LIKE KINGS FOREVER BUT FOREVER WAS A FEW YEARS AGO – COME THIS DECEMBER V3 David never made it; he died in his limousine He’s (was) almost in heaven; halfway in between The newspapers wrote all sorts of lies Like, how he was a junkie; but nobody asked why V4 Jenny cleaned up; left her old life behind She works in a diner just off Hollywood and Vine Once a year she comes back to him Puts a candle on his headstone next to a bottle of gin CHORUS YOU’D NEVER GUESS LOOKING AT BOTH OF THEM THAT MONEY AND MANSIONS WON’T CURE YOUR SINS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA LIVE JUST LIKE KINGS FOREVER BUT FOREVER WAS A FEW YEARS AGO – COME THIS DECEMBER
