Jack the Lad - John Martyn

    Call me ugly, call me crazy, call me mad:
    You don't know just what I might call you.
    Tell me a story - tell it up!
    Tell it up, tell up your name.
    Tell it up, tell it up - tell up your name.

    Call me Jack Adaptor. Call me Jack of Spades.
    Call me Jack of Diamonds; I don't care for names.
    They call me Jack Adjuster, they can call me Jack Alive.
    The call me Just, the just one, - I survive.

    I'm Jack the Lad.
    I'm always Jack the Lad,
    I'm Jack the Lad, always Jack the Lad.

    It's a good day for running,
    It's a good day to learn just how to stay;
    It's a good day for moving on,
    It's a good day for just walking away.

    I'm Jack the Lad. Call me Jack the Lad.
    They call me Jack the Lad.
    My name is Jack the Lad.

    I got skin as thick as a potato.
    They try to skin me and still call me Jack.
    I got skin as thin as a tomato;
    Always watch my little red back.

    Call for Jack the Minder,
    Jack the Joiner, Jack the Thief:
    One day, I'll jack it in,
    I'll go and take myself some small release.
    I'm Jack, I'm Jack the Lad.
    Call me, call me Jack the Lad.

    Call for Jack the Minder, call for Jack the Thief.
    Call for Jack the Horner, one day I'll jack it in,
    Play blue blood on the corner, play it blue blood.
    - I'm Jack the Lad with a blue blood vein.
    I'm Jack the Lad with a blue blood vein,
    I'm Jack the Lad, with a blue blood vein.

    It wasn't just one man in the lions den;
    I know for a fact that there were two.
    Because I myself was there right there and then,
    I said to Daniel and the lion too:
    Don't fear, you know that Jack is here.

    You know I'm Jack the Lad, don't fear.
    Don't worry, Daniel! My name is Jack,
    I'm at your back, don't fear the lion's roar.
    Don't fear that lion, Daniel,
    'Cause my name is Jack, I'm at your back

    And I'm the only Jack the Lad.
    I'm Jack the Lad, they call me Jack the Lad.
    I'm the lions den, everywhere I go,
    In the pub around the corner.
    They call me Jack, you know that I am Jack the Lad;
    What a terrible thing to be...
    Call me Jack the Lad,
    One day you will; aye, it's Jack the Lad
    Come on Daniel, bring on your lion.

    Well they call me Jack Adjuster
    Just the lies they tell about you drive me mad.
    They call me Jack Adapter, Jack of Spades,
    The lies they tell about me drive me mad.

    My name, my name is Jack the Lad.
    My name, my name, my name is Jack the Lad.
    My name is Jack the Lad.
