Same Thing Twice Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

He's done it all a million times 

The gags, the repartee, the little crimes 

Every audience is special and that goes for you 

He looks into your eyes again 

He never does it but he tries again 

That old boy lost look could bruise you black and blue 

Everybody's looking for a single row so they can be alone 

Cos every time the lights go up, they'd rather be at home 

I looked through all the wanted ads with a fine toothed comb 

And all I came up with was another evening 

Doing the same thing twice 

That's what I was doing 

All the drinks that he's been sinking 

Never ask him what he's thinking 

Every audience is unique and that goes for you 

Dead or alive you're coming with me 

Because everything's my cup of tea 

That's why I've got a gold suit and some green italian shoes 

Everybody says they had, but we all know they didn't 

It's impossible to be a little bit pregnant 

Give me the whole fruit cos I'm getting just a segment 

And all I end up with is another evening 

Doing the same thing twice 

Well it hurts so bad to get this stoned 

By ugly looking bureaucrats with ears like headphones 

Reading the sun, sunday sport, s.ideal home, woman's own 

Looks like you're on your own 

Bring me on the magic sponge 

My dying gasp, my final lunge 

It's all over now bar the dance 

Do it now but don't get caught 

I've been having third thoughts 

They can be so clever, only when the script demands 

You cluttered up the sky now so you can't follow any star 

Someone's sitting next to you in an empty cinema 

No-one wants to end up face down in a reservoir 

And I don't wanna end up with another evening 

Saying the same thing twice
