Generate meaning
1
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
2
That bothered him so
3
He was impressive,young and aggressive
4
Savin' the world on his own
5
Warm summer breezes, French wine and cheeses
6
Put his ambition at bay
7
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
8
And four or five years slipped away
9
He went to England, played the piano and married
10
An actress named Kim
11
They had a good life, she was a good wife
12
And bore him, a young son named Jim
13
All of the answers and all of the questions
14
He locked in his attic one day
15
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
16
And twenty more years slipped away
17
War took his baby, bombs killed his lady and left him
18
With only one eye
19
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
20
All he could do was just cry
21
While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'
22
Answers that he never found
23
So he hopped in a freighter, skidded the ocean
24
And left England without a sound
25
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin' and drinks
26
His Green label each day
27
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
28
But he don't care what most people say
29
After eighty-six years of perpetual motion
30
If he likes you he'll smile and say
31
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, probably tragic
32
But I had a good life all the way"
33
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
34
That bothered him so
