Jean the Machine Songtext
von Scott Walker

Whatever happened to Jean the machine?
She used to live down the hall from me
And all of the boys in the band
Miss her so bad now, ain′t it pitiful?

She made her way here from Hungary
A refugee with a voice like Callas
But somehow she couldn't get on
So she took it off at the, the local Palace

(Jean, come back) Why′d you go now?
(Jean, come back) Things are slow now
(Jean, come back)


My landlady said Jean's a commie spy
Each time I asked for the reason why
My landlady said it's a front
She bumps and grinds codes to an audience of immigrants

It blows my mind when I think of Jean
Every night with a new routine
′Cause I play the drums in the band
She used me as part of her, her dirty commie plan

(Jean, come back) We forgive you
(Jean, come back) Boy Scout′s honor
(Jean, come back) Sparrow Agnew
(Jean, come back) To the Bolshoi
(Jean, come back) To your homeland
(Jean, come back) Bring the microfilm
