Winners Losers Beggars Choosers
Elliott Murphy
Song: Winners Losers Beggars Choosers Artist: Elliott Murphy Album: Party Girls & Broken Poets (1984] Tabbed by: Javier de la Fuente [Intro] [Verse] He was reading Playboy he was thinking that today boy he would try to change his pattern; step up on the ladder of succes; maybe buy some new clothes She was in a hotel lobby making money was no hobby wating for her Suggar Daddy she would try to make him happy; heaven knows she could use new clothes Subways full of loners with their guitars and their Hohners singing songs of pacification ’til the police kick ’em out of the metro station; for disturbing the peace. I was sleeping in a hotel I was dreaming about a motel I was somewhere in the heartland; gonna make a brand new start man; all I need is Mustang Coupe. [Chorus] And there were Winners Losers Beggars dying to be Choosers I can’t stop it give me strengh and I’ll rock it rock it [Verse] Looking in a mirror everything was so much clearer his hairline was receding but tonight he would be eating fine food and drinking fine wine. He had a slight hangover when she arrived it was over; he opened the window a crack he told her of his father heart attack; still brought a tear of his eye But as she talked she said “you lost me could you order me some coffee? I’m confused about your marriage and your wife and the baby carriage” he said “it’s the way things go” And the taxis were lined up the guest lists were signed up with the promise of the evening her perfume was teasing and strong and she feld nothing at all [Chorus] And there were Winners Losers Beggars dying to be Choosers I can’t stop it give me strengh and I’ll rock it rock it [Verse] Later in the deli she said “don’t you dare sell me shorter than you I’m only making ends meet all the time” he said “I know what you mean” She said “why don’t you play guitar” he said “my place ain’t far we’ll discuss politcs ...” but all they heard was the way the clock would tick the way time stood still “Have you ever been to Venice? You know I could take us I need to get away I need” and she started to cry he said “you don’t need to say nothing” And the gondolas they were lined up the Grand Canal was shined up they were sipping cappucino and pigeons flew in harmony and he smiled and he said “This is really something” [Chorus] And there were Winners Losers Beggars dying to be Choosers I can’t stop it give me strengh and I’ll rock it rock it [Outro fade and end]
