Prison ballad
Lukáš Fišer/Lukáš Fišer
CD Koncert, DVD Prague Funfair Orchestra, Česká paráda

Black jacket and a lady-killer smile
Silvery temples, a look that could kill
Inheritance from his deceased aunt	
He wouldn’t bend down for ten dollar bill
						
He enters the bar just like a king
Waiters bow and pray for no troubles
He orders them a bottle of fizz to bring 
And soon Champagne nicely bubbles
		
						
Girls try to lure him with their eyes 	
He’s good-looking and so rich
Later Gabi had her luck
And he took home that bitch 
 						
Oh no    	                              
Love
Oh love
Is a bud clean as a whistle 
Love
Oh love
An orchid
Or a thistle
 						
Love
Oh love
Is like a fragile leaf
Love
Oh love
It withers
And you better leave 

Black jacket and a lady-killer smile
Silvery temples and custody blues
Auntie’s husband got knifed in style
But killer didn’t take off his shoes 
 
His bloody footprints were found
At the scene of the crime
So now he’s rotting in the pound
And doing his infinite time
 						
Nobody could go to pay the bail
So now he’s behind the bars
The only woman in the jail
Is Death who doesn’t like stars

Oh no    	                              
						
Love
Oh love
Is a bud clean as a whistle 
Love
Oh love
An orchid
Or a thistle
 						
Love
Oh love
Is like a fragile leaf
Love
Oh love
It withers
And you better leave
