Unpredictable

from Self Assembly by Jim Pearson

lyrics

I don’t want to foot the bill
It wasn’t me who ordered starters
Life for you is such a thrill
Playing games and tipping waiters

Pin striped suit and fat cigar
We all want to be a millionaire
Put your hands on the table
Life can be unpredictable

I don’t want to pay the tab
It wasn’t me who ordered chasers
Everything we ever had
Place your bets and take your chances

Birthday suits and smashed guitars
We all want to be a rock star
Put your hands on the table
Life can be unpredictable

Don’t ask for directions
Are you waiting for a sign?
Just empty all your pockets
‘Cos when its your time you leave it all behind

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
