Blame Mary Jane Lyrics - Singles - Lloyd Cole

Blaming Mary Jane I'm drinking cheap 

She's getting prettier by the .... 

She says I should care more for 

The rich and the poor but I 

Can't find the energy blame Mary Jane 

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers 

Shut my ear to the news 

I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon 

Yes I am 

Speak plain Mary Jane 

Could you give your hand to a man that 

Never gave a damn 

That's why I rather sleep than thinking 

Nothing more than drinking 

All I want is to blame Mary Jane 

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers 

Shut my ear to the news 

I'm gonna lose my soul to the long lonesome 

Afternoons, yes I am 

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers 

Shut my ear to the news 

I'm gonna lose my soul to the lonesome afternoon 

Oh maybe I won't be your whipping boy 

I won't be your whipping boy 

Shame baby shame oh shame sweet Mary Jane 

I truly do love you 

She said that I should care more 

For that body of yours 

If you carry the weight of the world oh my 

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers 

Shut my ear to the news 

I'm gonna lose my soul in the long lonesome afternoon 

Yes I am 

I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers 

Shut my ear to the news 

I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon 

Maybe I will be your whipping boy 

Maybe I will
