Hawley, Richard - Ballad Of A Thin Man Lyrics
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
Just what you will say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
But something is happening
And ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone
And something is happening here
But ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When somebody attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organization
Aw, you've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You are very well read
It's well known
But something is happening here
And ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower
He comes up to you and then he kneels
He crosses himself and then he clicks
His high heels
And without further notice he asks you
How it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"
And you know something is happening here
But ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "Now"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk or else go home"
You know something is happening here
But ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Well, you walk into the room like a camel
And then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There oughta be a law against you
Comin' around
You should be made to wear earphones
'Cause something is happening
And ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
'Cause something is happening
Yeah, ya' don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?...

Hawley, Richard Ballad Of A Thin Man Comments
Very good singer
what is this song about? i dont understand the story at all
amazing song from peaky blinders amazing mr jones
"He crosses himself
As he clicks his high heels"
I'm only here for the love of Richard Hawley!
אתה נכנס לחדר
כאשר בידך עפרון
באדם ערום אתה חוזה
ואתה אומר:" מי הוא האיש הזה?"
אתה מנסה ככל יכולתך
אבל לא מצליח למצוא פתרון
מה לומר
כאשר תגיע הביתה
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?
אתה מרים את הראש
ואתה שואל:" האם זה באיזשהו מקום או לא ? "
ומישהו פונה אליך ואומר:
" זה שלו"
ואתה שואל:" מה שלי? "
ומישהו אחר אומר:" איפה הדבר שלו?"
ואתה אומר : " אוו, אלוהים
האם אני כאן לגמר לבד? "
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?
אתה מציג את הכרטיס
והולך לראות את הנודניק המסמיק
והוא מיד מתקרב אלייך
ומתחיל לדבר לפני שאתה הגה להוציא מספיק
והוא אומר:" איך זה להיות
כזה פריק? "
ואתה אומר: " בלתי אפשרי "
והוא משליך לעברך עצם
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?
יש לך הרבה קשרים
בחוגי סוחרי העצים
הם לך עובדות יכולים לספק
כאשר מישהו מתקיף לך את הדמיון
אבל לאף אחד אין כל ריספקט
בכל מקרה , ללא כל ספק
הם מצפים רק שתתן צ'ק
למטרה מוכרת לצורכי מס, יש להם קו ברור של הגיון.
אתה היית עם הפרופסורים
ומן המראה שלך כולם יצאו משתאים
עם פרקליטים מכובדים
דנת על נוכלים ומצורעים
אתה קראת את כל ספרי פ. סקוט פיצ'ג'רלד
כולם זאת יודעים
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?
ובכן, בולע החרבות בא אליך כסוס עתיר קרבות
ואז הוא כורע
ומצטלב
ובעקביו הגבוהים את השקט קורע
ללא שום אזהרה
הוא שואל איך זה להרגיש כמו אורח
ואומר: " הנה הגרון שלך
תודה על כך שנתת לי אותו בהשאלה "
עכשיו אתה רואה את הגמד שתום העין
שואג שהוא רוצה הכל עכשיו ללא כל פשרה
ואתה שואל:" מאיזו סיבה? "
והוא אומר:" מה קרה? "
והוא צועק חזרה: " אתה פרה
תן לי קצת חלב
או שתלך הביתה לשלום"
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?
ובכן , אתה נכנס לחדר
כמו גמל ואז בכולם אשמה מטיח
אתה שם עיניך בכיסך
ואת אפך על הקרקע מניח
חייב להיות איזה חוק
שימנע ממך להסתובב בכל מקום וחופשי להריח
מוכרחים לחייב אותך
לחבוש אוזניות.
כי משהו קורה כאן
אבל אתה לא יודע מה
האם אתה מבין זאת, מיסטר ג'ונס?

@Susan Dhifaoui play Hushaby mountain with Lisa Hannigan. Moving is not the word
PEAKY!!
جايين من بيكي بلايندرز الوصخين😂
I have followed Mr Hawley for years but never seen him live until Saturday (28 Sept 19) because he was always sold out. Holmfirth Picturedrome - two hours of musical bliss. Live he is phenomenal.
What a show - top three gigs of my life. And what a gent.
Lovely fella, incredible songwriter and musician and a band that was beautiful.
Lucky me - seeing him in Manchester on Monday.
Genius.
PEAKY FUCKING BLINDERS
FOOKIN*

Love Richard Hawley but this cover pales compared to the original and the music supervisor for the Peakys should have known that.
I reckon Bob Dylan will be very happy with Richards version of his song
This song is gonna get millions of views by order of Fooking Peaky Blinders!
If Richard did an entire Dylan album I be amazed
I can’t believe i’m saying this but You did it better than Bob Dylan
No one can believe you're saying that; Hawley himself doesn't believe you.
princeoftidds maybe because Dylan’s audio was shitty
You walk into the room
