Lyrics Katie Melua – Jack’s Room
Text:
Sunday, and mum was cleaning up Jack’s room
I could call it, the beginning of this household’s doom
After knowing her son for 18 years
She did not expect to find these items here
In Jack’s room, behind the cupboard
She finds pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In Jack’s room, behind the cupboard
She finds pretty dresses & heels
Down the stairs in a confused state of mind
Mother tells dad, our son has something to hide
As he follows her back up to Jack’s room
Really not knowing what to presume
In Jack’s room behind the cupboard
They find pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In Jack’s room behind the cupboard
They find pretty dresses & heels
And now Jack’s walking home
Thinks there is nothing wrong
He even stops to buy some flowers
For his dearest folks
Cause they’re such a joke
They want to clean his room for hours
And now Jack’s in a confused state of mind
Mother asks him, he doesn’t know how to reply
Then dad suddenly goes bright red
And says, I’ve got something to confess
In Jack’s room behind the cupboard
They’re my pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In Jack’s room, behind the cupboard
They’re my pretty dresses & heels
In Jack’s room, behind the cupboard
They’re my pretty stockings & dresses & heels
In Jack’s room, behind the cupboard
They’re my pretty dresses & heels
