lyrics

the vacuum cleaner

i sit beside you on the sofa so far
i know soon you trade me for that jenever jar
you say you love me but i’m drifting off far
you size up my body while i lick my cigar
and all i ever do
is step aside for you and your vacuum cleaner

i still dream of years ago when i was a star
i played my head off in those rock and roll bars
i thought i had nothing, nothing to loose
as long as i kept on playing my soulful blues
it was heartbreaking – so breathtaking

you said you loved to see me going round the track
you say you never told me to get out of this rack
ah take me to the fridge…

now all i do for you is step aside for you and your vacuum cleaner

now meanwhile i’m still thinking ‘bout those good old times
when i used to play my head of in those r&r bars
when i played my guitar with my r&r charms
now i look around me and i wonder
is this what i really want? when i close my eyes i dream of my old guitar
and i realize this is not what i really want…. no, thís is what i really want ……. ……… is this what i really want?
