SIMPLE THINGS - Dirty Ron


Well I don't like cool things, no matter what you believe
I can't help it if I look sharp down here like a ten dollar magazine
Coz cool things crease, and cool things burn
And the cinders get swept up and we never learn
I like simple things that work, Guy Clark sung it for all us jerks

I don't like pretty thinks, except for you and yer mum
A love of pretty things has made many a man come undone
They're like syntax, like a silhouette
They're the occasionally pretty things that you occasionally forget
I like simple things that work, Guy Clark sung it for all us jerks

Now I'm a simple thing, as dense as steam
I like beer and toast and most things folks take for granteed
It's my lot, essentials all I want
I want smokes and jokes 'n dirty folks and a kiss from Ruby
I like simple things that work, Guy Clark sung it for a ll us jerks
