    Bob Dylan - Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

     

    The festival was over and the boys were all plannin' for a fall,

    The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall.

    The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down,

    Anyone with any sense had already left town.

    He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts.



    He moved across the mirrored room, 'Set it up for everyone,' he said,

    Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads.

    Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin,

    'Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?'

    Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts.



    Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs,

    Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair.

    Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide,

    A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside.

    Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts.



    Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine,

    He made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine.

    With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place,

    He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste.

    But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts.



    Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town,

    She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown.

    She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear,

    'Sorry, darlin', that I'm late,' but he didn't seem to hear.

    He was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts.



    'I know I've seen that face before,' Big Jim was thinkin' to himself,

    'Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf.'

    But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim

    And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him,

    Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts.



    Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child,

    She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled.

    She'd come from a broken house, had lots of strange affairs

    With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere.

    But she's never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts.



    The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined

    The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind.

    It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring

    And nothing would ever come between Lily and the King.

    No, nothin' ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts.



    Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife,

    She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife.

    She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide,

    Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died.

    She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts.



    Lily took her dress off, buried it away.

    'Has your luck run out?' she laughed at him, 'Well I guess you must have known it would someday.

    Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint,

    I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.'

    Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts.



    The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair.

    'There's something funny goin on,' he said, 'I can just feel it in the air.'

    He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk,

    As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk.

    There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts.



    No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick,

    The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked.

    And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised,

    Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes.

    She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts.



    Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall

    And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul.

    In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground

    For one more member who had business back in town.

    But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts.



    The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black,

    Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back.

    And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink,

    The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink.

    The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts.



    The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, 'Closed for repair,'

    Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair.

    She was thinkin' 'bout her father, whom she very rarely saw,

    Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law.

    But most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts.

    LOL.

    I'm sorry, the outburst of laughter just felt necessary.

    No offense though.

    As to what I'm listening to...

    Well, I've been listening to a bit of Alexisonfire lately, which is surprising because I usually hate bands that aren't metal. Mostly just old stuff from In Flames and Opeth.

    Heaven Tells no Lies --- Helloween.

     

    I must say I absolutely love this song.  Dunno if it would qualify on my top 5 (Mirror Mirror (10 years old?, Blind Guardian), Highwayman (15 year old? McKennit), My Number One (kinda recent, Dream Evil), Land of Immortals (rhapsody...old) and Ask the Mountain (Vangelis, oldie)) but it would definitely make it to my top 10...considering I am extremely conservative and that most songs are quite old on this list...this is quite something in itself...for what it is worth to be on my top list. :P

     

    I can say Mirror Mirror and Higwayman would still be in my favorite in 50 years. :p  Other, I dunno...Heaven Tells no Lies?  Maybe...still didn't listen to it enough yet however, can change a lot, just like Noldor song from Blind Guardian got a high start. :P
