about

Rock-a-billy track with vocal inspired by Johnny Cash, and more than a little by one of my favourite Elvis songs "His Latest Flame"

lyrics

The delicate bloom
Has entered the room
And all eyes turn to stare
I'm not impressed
He's way over-dressed
Acting devil may care

I have a hunch
Just one gentle punch
Is all I'd need to employ
You glass jawed boy.

He may be loved
And handled with cotton gloves
And the apple of their eyes
It takes an old queen
Whose bitter and mean
For the jealousy to rise.

When it comes to the crunch
Just one sneaky punch
Is all I'd need to deploy
You glass jawed boy.

His skin stays tight
Though he parties through the night
Youth is wasted on the young
He doesn't have to think
Or buy his own drinks
His life it never stops being fun.

i'd eat my hat for lunch
If one juicy punch
Didn't fail to destroy
You glass jawed boy.

He's not too bright
But hey, that's alright
He didn't go to my school
The school of hard knocks
That made you tough as rocks
And not some limp-wristed fool

Sit on that pedestal
Be careful you don't fall
You glass jawed boy.
