Song: Party Girls and Broken Poets Artist: Elliott Murphy Album: Party Girls and Broken Poets (1984) Tabbed by: Javier de la Fuente [Intro] [Verse] From the Peninsula we stare across the bay From the Peninsula we talk of yesterday Of the parties that are over and who the midnight boys took home And now I sit and watch street walkers standing next to a pay phone [Verse] Out for a moonlight swim she glides across the bay We took a motorcar we said we’d meet you half way And we waited for an hour and they searched the whoel next day They never found no body some parties just end up that way [Chorus] When you go out with a bad boy You do things you thought you shouldn’t do When you go out with a bad girl You do things you thought you wouldn’t do You thought you couldn’t do [Verse] Like a Cristal Ship the poets words will stay And like a teenage nymph he gave to much away They use to find him in the morning his head held in his hand And he’d be crying about Lolita He said no one’s ever gonna understand [Verse] He’d talk of Indians he said they never lose their way But with us white men the magic can’t go away Some say the opium drove him crazy some say Beaujolais drove him insane But there’s an Indian girl called Lolita Dancing down in Mexico in steaming rain [Chorus] When you go out with a bad boy You do things you thought you shouldn’t do When you go out with a bad girl You do things you thought you wouldn’t do You thought you couldn’t do [Interlude] [Verse] There’s no a word of true in anything I say And I can’t tell a lie I was brought up that way You see these stories have no meaning except for what you can see Of Party Girls and Broken Poets They’re not too different from you and me [Chorus] When you go out with a bad boy You do things you thought you shouldn’t do When you go out with a bad girl You do things you thought you wouldn’t do You thought you couldn’t do [Outro] You thought you couldn’t do You thought you couldn’t do When you go out with a bad boy When you go out with a bad girl When you go out with a bad boy When you go out with a bad girl

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques d'une époque où les fêtes étaient éclatantes, mais aussi pleines de mélancolie. Les protagonistes discutent de leur passé, des relations tumultueuses qu'ils ont eues et des conséquences parfois tragiques de ces aventures. Il est question de l'attrait des "mauvais garçons" et des "mauvaises filles", qui entraînent les gens à faire des choses qu'ils n'auraient jamais imaginées. Dans un cadre où des poètes et des fêtards se croisent, la chanson soulève des thèmes de désillusion, de recherche de sens et de l'idée que les histoires de vie, malgré leurs drames et leurs excès, ne sont pas si éloignées de notre propre expérience. Les personnages vivent des situations à la fois captivantes et désastreuses, révélant comment chacun peut se retrouver perdu dans le tourbillon de la vie.
