Jocelyn Lyrics – All the Queen’s Horses
Singer: All the Queen’s Horses
Title: Jocelyn
In a ballroom at the Belfry, where swans all sit and stare
There was a young girl they called Jocelyn and Jocelyn was everywhere
A Brooklyn heart and ballroom soul and a wanderer in full flight
She’d sing Ave Maria to Brooklyn at night
A footloose queen and a transient rose, and an orphan of Ireland
The world loved Jocelyn this queen of Long Island
And she understood the river of life and she understood this young-
She understood the darker parts in the songs that she sung
And she travelled, travelled, travelled, through the United States
Of America, looking for some galliant heart, this wandering
Evangelical
She could bring you down, down, down
She could spin you all around, around, round; watch her disappear
And all the city lights in Dublin, and the storm clouds on Clare
They’re calling out to America and all she has there
And all her wolves cry for Jocelyn, and her wings to take flight
But she sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn at night. She sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn at night
And all the cellos seemed to follow her like the neon lights on
Bowery. There was energy in the streets, and a new music they called RnB
This perpetuated post war rise brought a social class arpeggio
And they all had refrigerators and Jocelyn had a radio
And The Beatles, Dylan and the Rolling Stones changed the music there for a century
Jocelyn said a prayer when they shot John F Kennedy. And an Irish soul, and a Marxist priest, and an orphan they called Bethany
At a bedsit by McCarren Park by Williamsburg and Broadway
And her scarlet stains and her August sky drew her sadness and screaming, a real darkness in her Irish eyes and nobody could see in
And all the city lights in Dublin and the storm clouds on Clare
They’re calling out to America and all she has there
And all her wolves cry for Jocelyn, and her wings to take flight
But she sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn at night
She sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn at night
And a tremendous scream from the bedsit screen woke the sisters of Mercy
They took her cold body to the Columbia infirmary
And she could bring you down, down, down. She could spin you all around, round, round; watch her disappear
All the city lights in Dublin and the storm clouds on Clare
They’re calling out to America and all she has there
All her wolves cry for Jocelyn and her wings to take flight
But she sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn tonight
She sings Ave Maria to Brooklyn tonight
