or hiding something, Jack 
 
Telling lies in public 

Breaking codes at home 

Underneath the blankets 

for another role 

Tell these lies you must be mad 

Are you only Jack the lad? 

To feast with panthers every night 

you must be careful, Jack

We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall 
 
Philby in the desert 
looking for a phone 
waiting on the pavement 
for a call from home 
Play with fire you must be mad 
Are you only Jack the lad? 
Turn your back on friends you had 
They must have hurt you, Jack
