Jack - "Half Cut, Wholly Yours" (album: "The Jazz age" - Too Pure, 1998)

Change your clothes again

kiss the ticket

for the subway train

where you'll sleep and ride for miles and miles

'til you and her

you're once again inside

with that secondhand dress

and anything worth more money

it couldn't help but mean much less

in our eyes

our ragged deep blue lives

and I confess

I am fallen

another Catholic casualty

misunderstood until proven guilty

I'm half cut and wholly yours

I'm all yours

Remember this

we were two lovers

two lovers in the sticks

ahead of our time

why, I was gone on your skin

we were drunk on wine

speeding like mad

through afternoons and films so sad

they're only shown

when the country's at work

but you, you and me

we'll never ever work

and I confess

I am fallen

another Catholic casualty

misunderstood until proven guilty

I'm half cut and wholly yours

I'm all yours

So I was born again

half asleep on a subway train

down where the sun

it don't shine

headed south

on the Northern line

(Το Jazz Age είναι ένας δίσκος τόσο ολοκληρωμένος και πιασάδικος μέσα στην crooning/pop έμπνευση του, που απορείς πως αυτοί εδώ απέτυχαν να πιάσουν τη καλή. Οι Jack μπορεί να ήταν γκαντέμηδες (η δισκογραφική τους, τους εγκατέλειψε στα μισά της περιοδείας τους) αλλά, μέχρι τη διάλυση τους το 2002, έβγαζαν δισκάρες. Και δεν εξαργύρωσαν το cult status τους με κανενός είδους reunion.)
