Little Joe Lyrics - Go-betweens

Everyone knows everybody else 

Let's skip introductions 

Talk on little Joe 

His mother left for me to mind 

a 100 a week 

A lovely guy of 26 

loves only the lonely 

little Joe 

Oh no here he comes 

laughing with an old joke 

Don't you cry 

never do a days work 

nothing of value will ever get hurt 

Joes no trouble he ran for mayor 

The mafia car bombed my car 

I said you're not running for mayor 

Gave up wishing 

took up hoping 

hoping Joe will settle down 

Shoe store 

a movie house 

something like 

something like a french comedy 

He's patronised by gentle souls 

their best intensions are their own 

Don't you cry 

never do a days work 

nothing of value will ever get hurt 

I've always been a man of the track 

took Joe down to the track 

So here we sit 

Joe and I 

Joe and I 

Little Joe 

Don't you cry 

never do a days work 

nothing of value will ever get hurt 

The whole world 

lets get our balance in the mid-night air
