Lies of Jim (The E-Type Lover) Lyrics


Wealthy Jim had a sordid love affair,

You know it cost him four and a half grand

A high court judge who just wouldn’t budge,

He said your crime fits in the land

`Cos little Jimmy had a roving eye

But he didn’t have a wooden leg

Well his heart was wood

He said that’s no good

Or so the verdict said

Lies of Jim the E-Type lover,

Lies of Jim the E-Type lover

Pay and then you run for cover

From the lies of Jim the E-Type lover

The judge he said you’ve been a wicked little man

I’m gonna have to slap you down boy

Now you took this little child

And you drove her wild

You treated her like a toy

Well this I will not tolerate

You’re gonna have to pay the price

You’ve gotta give that lady some compensation

A jaguar would suffice

Wealthy Jim put his hand into his pocket

What the judge drew kinda hit him like a rocket

The man at the back said he thought he saw a tear

Run down Jim’s cheek, settle by his ear

Prosecution witness noted his distress

But liked to smile across at Jimmy in a mess

He didn’t care for the people in the room

He thought the mans smile rubbed more salt into the wound

Love is not a thing you buy, love is not a car

For compensation for Lorraine

Who lost her precious jaguar

Thirty pieces of silver steel

The pace of love behind the wheel

Jim! Won’t you tell me what you’ve done

It only started out as a bit of fun

Will return you hungry young man

To eat the flesh of a young virgin

I believe in the word of the law

Is justice done is all that I saw

Jim would say if you wanna have a ball

Beware! The writings on the wall
