The Jinx
(album: The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs)
He joins the gang as we leave the pub, we´re off downtown to a niteclub.
And whereas usually we´d get in, we don´t tonight ´cos we´re with him.
We´re miles from home waiting for the last bus, but when it comes it don´t stop for us
We can´t afford a cab and it´s quite clear, this wouldn´t happen if he weren´t here.
He´s a jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong.
He´s a jinx, jinx, when he string along.
It´s Saturday night and there´s parties on, but we can´t get in any ´cos he´s come along.
So we end up walking ´round all night, if it weren´t for him we´d been alright.
If you want a partner for pool or darts, and you play with him you´ve lost before it starts.
If we go to a match and he comes in, you can guarantee our team won´t win.
