Lyrics
Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots!
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following
Asked the band to play her beat
Singin' she do that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Ohhh your heart
Now my heart will burst
Oh no
Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland
I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers
Sayin'- "Don't bury me no more"
Ohh...
And I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realise
This struggle could be won!
We dance
Long time jerk
She did it to me first
Ohhh my heart
With that long time jerk
Ah! Say... Do that long time jerk.
Bring on those tapes from the past
When you looked better in a mirror
Feel that long time jerkin'
Between the taker and the giver
Feel that...
Long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Oh I felt my heart
Now my heart will burst
I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realise
This struggle could be fun!
Oh, through lanes and streets and houses
A reversing rush of time
She made me re-invent the world
Before inventing time (Before inventing time)
Long time jerk
Oh, she hit me where it hurts
Ohhhhh my heart
Long time jerk
Long, long, long, long, long
Long time
Long time jerk
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following
Asked the band to play her beat
They played that long time jerk
And they played it till it hurts
Ohhh that sound
Now my heart will burst
Long, long, long, long time jerk
Long time jerk
That long time jerk
Oooh, she do me till it hurts
And if that was not a hearse
Oh my heart will burst
Oh, it's that long time jerk
She said
You do that long time jerk
I'll do it till it hurts
I'll make you shout and curse
With that long time jerk
