lyrics

Life is Cheap
I roll around in my Rolls
I owns the park where I strolls
Just a multi—trillionaire
I’ve got my own private plane
I go to France and to Spain
If I want to, I don’t want to
After all it’s just another one to me
Like all the others, I don’t need it
And besides, It’s just another one to see
And I seen it all before

Refrain
Like the wind that blows
Life is Cheap, God only knows

I’ve got my own private room
I’ve got my own special spoon
For my Wheaties and caviar
I wear a suit everyday
And then I throw it away
With the pockets full of change
After all it’s just a bunch of ones to me
Like all the others, I don’t need it anymore
And besides, just another one to see
And I seen it all before

And when I lose at the game
I’ll sit at home and remain
In the corner, in the dark
Oh, maybe then I’ll pretend
If I could see you again
Simply boring, for a Lark
After all you’re just another one to me
No, I don’t mean that anymore
And besides you’re just another one like me
Haven’t you seen my face before?

about

J.W. McClure Seattle, Washington

J.W. McClure lives in Stanwood, Washington. This is a career restarted for me. In the 1970’s I was often an opening act at the Washington D.C. clubs, The Cellar Door and The Childe Harold for Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush and many well known bands. In the 1980’s I returned to Washington to do folk music, satire and stand-up comedy before getting swamped by family and other work. ... more
