Placebo - Jackie

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
telling me he'd be home,
he sailed the sea’s for a hundred years
and left me all alone.

now I’ve been dead for twenty years
been washing the sand
with my ghostly tears
searching the shores for my
jackie oooh.

I remember the day
that the young man came
said your jackie’s gone
he's lost in the rain
and I ran to the beach
(laid me down)

your all wrong, I said
as they stared to the sand,
that man knows the sea
like the back of his hand,
he’ll be back sometime
Laughing at you.

I’ve been waiting
all this time,
for my man
to come take his hand in mine
and lead me away to unseen shores.

I’ve been washing the sand
With my salty tears
Searching the shore
these long years
And I walk the sea
Forever more
‘till I find my Jackie oooh

jackie oooh,
jackie oooh,
jackie ooo-oo-ooh.
