Faces - Pool Hall Richard LYRICS

(wood, stewart)



Sweatin hard, I didnt get a shot

All I did was stand around and get too hot

Knowin all the people walkin on my side

Losin all my money and Im getting tired

Ol bill he come a-runnin like hes gettin some

Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun

I dont mind, but he wants my lady too



You know the crowd gets bigger as the word goes round

Pool hall king was playin back in town

Minnesota fats standin up at the back

Tryin to hide himself in a plastic mack

You ought to hear the silence when the kid walks in

His reputations bigger than gasoline

I dont mind but hes tryin to fill my lady too

Pool hall richard, youre far too wicked we know

Pool hall richard, kid youre wicked, we know

You broke my heart

Same as you could ever do

With your yellow carnation and your pink satin shoe

You make me jealous but I worship you

One day soon Im gonna beat you clean

Wipe that smile right off your chin

Everybody gonna drive from miles around

Cuein up to see me take away your crown

Then youll never never ever take my lady then



Pool hall richard, youre far too wicked we know

Pool hall richard, kid youre wicked, we know

You broke my heart

Same as you could ever do

Dig this

Bam goes the brown, thats another one down

Know they play much better when the sun goes down

Bang goes the green, youre so obscene

Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean

Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue

The pool hall king is hustlin you

Bam goes the 8-ball, didnt see it spin at all

This kid can play, oh yeah



Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down

Know they play much better when the sun goes down

Bang goes the green, youre so obscene

Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean

Damn the pink, one more to sink

Gonna beat you someday cause youre makin me sick

Down on the black, at the back of the pack

Aw, you nearly missed, you aint so hot



Pool hall richard, kid youre wicked, we know

You broke my heart

Same as you could ever do

Youre breakin my heart

But youre stealin my tart

Shut up
