6. Ain’t That So?
1 March 1979
(Ferry)
I’ve been around so far it seems
Too bad the blues blew my schemes
Dynamite such sweet surprise
In southern heat or northern skies
Ain’t that so? Ain’t that so?
Ain’t that so? If that ain’t that so
(ain’t that so?)
Shadows cling where shutters close
And who can tell? Heaven knows
Why some can laugh and some can sing
Stand in line or get on down and swing
Ain’t that so? Ain’t that so?
Ain’t that so? If that ain’t that so
(ain’t that, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?) (ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?) (ain’t that, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?)
Cross the street who’s ringing bells?
Peeling walls of cheap hotels
Neon flare a sudden chill
And there you lie, and time stands still
Ain’t that so? Ain’t that so?
Ain’t that so? If that ain’t that so
(ain’t that, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
(ain’t that so?, ain’t that so?)
