Paice Ashton Lord - Silas & Jerome

SILAS & JEROME (written by Ian Paice, Tony Ashton & Jon Lord) Now dig this: I was grooving down the road Just the other day, I saw this little nubile thing Passing by my way. I said, "Listen baby, I'm a rock'n'roll star And I got some news for you." She turned around and looked at me Just like she came out of school. And she said, "You're cool," I said, "That's true," She said, "You're very cool, man" I said, "So are you, baby." She said, "What time do you play? 'Cos I might just be able to stay." I thought, I was beginning to get through, I smiled as I put my hand in my coat And I said, "I'm the man for you." She looked at me with those big blue eyes And she smoked a whole cigarette through. She said, "Which band do you play for, man?" And I tried to clutch some air. I said, "We are playin' down the hall tonight, It'd be nice if you got it there." I thought, I was really gettin' on to something big, I said to all my friends, She's comin' down to the gig. So she came out back after the show And her friends came with her too, One with a great big scar And one from the local zoo. I said, "Hey baby, can't we go some place, Just you and me alone?" She said, "This is my boyfriend Silas, man, And my big kid brother Jerome." I said, "Oh, shame on you," I could not believe that it was true. But I suppose on the whole - That's rock and roll!
