about

A song of envy and identity

lyrics

Verse 1
Look around me look around you, everywhere, you cant escape
Temptation lives temptation calls you, come on over
Look at me look at me wouldn’t I be just the thing
I fit right in fit right in with your colour scheme

Your life would be so good, your home would be so sweet
Don’t worry ‘bout the money, you just got to have me

Chorus
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the Jones
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the one, everybody want to become

Verse 2
In the Jones house in the Jones house it’s the most amazing thing
Just like I saw just like I saw in the magazine, (magazine)
That’s the style that is the style I’d like to be, because you see
First impressions first impressions are the most important thing

Your life would be so good, your home would be so sweet
Don’t worry ‘bout the money, it’s 6 months interest free

Chorus
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the Jones
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the Jones
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the Jones
Do you wanna, do you wanna be the one, everybody want to become

Bridge
To live the life of Reilly is recommended highly
But to keep you keepin smiley you gotta be the Jones
And it would be a joy, to be the real McKoy
But if I had my choice I’d rather be the Jones
Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to be a happy chappy
So don’t you dilly dally come and be the Jones
If you want to be the one everybody want to become
You be the Jones

Verse 3
I couldn’t keep up couldn’t keep up , no matter how, hard I tried
The Jones were always Jones were always leaving me behind
What’s in a name what’s in a name and finally I see
If I change my name to Jones then you gotta keep up with me


Pre-chorus
My life has been so good, my home looks oh so sweet
Don’t worry ‘bout the money, just keep up with me

Chorus
