Scott Walker - Jean The Machine Lyrics

Whatever happened to Jean the machine
She used to live down the hall from me
And all the boys in the band
Miss her so bad now
Ain't it pitful
She made her way from Hungary
A refugee with a voice like Callas
But somehow she couldn't get on
So she took it off
At the local Palace

Chorus:

Jean come back (Why'd you go now)
Jean come back (Things are slow now)
Jean come back

My landlady said Jean's a commie spy
And each time I asked for the reason why
My landlady said it's a front
She bumps and grinds codes
To an audience of immigrants
It blows my mind when I think of Jean
Every night with a new rountine
'Cos I play drums in the band
She uses me as part
Of a dirty commie plan

Chorus:
Jean come back (we forgive you)
Jean come back (boy scouts honour)
Jean come back (Spiro Agnew)
Jean come back (To the Bolshoi)
Jean come back (To your homeland)
Jean come back (bring the microfilm)
