Letra de Every picture tells a story

Spent some time feelin´ inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn´t blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don´t lose your head
To a woman that´ll spend your bread"
So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn´t fit in
French police wouldn´t give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on

Down in Rome I wasn´t getting enough
Of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
At a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
´for the Vatican don´t give no sanction
I wasn´t ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain´t natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her

I firmly believe that I didn´t need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be

The women I´ve known I wouldn´t let tie my shoe
They wouldn´t give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
To help you on the way down the road
I couldn´t quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
´cause it´s all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn´t have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don´t it
