Icehouse - Jimmy Dean Lyrics
There's a mist over Broadway
Breathing cool sheets of rain
Lights his last cigarette and
Turns his back to the wind
She says, baby, I don't know
Just how to explain
And I can't see the sense
And I can't play this game
But he's not even listening
He stares at the ground
And she won't ever know
What was on his mind
[CHORUS:]
Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal
See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean
Live and die behind the wheel
Opened out on the highway
Leaving her far behind
There's a star down on Sunset
He says, yeah, this one's mine
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
Well, now, Mr. D whispered in his ear
Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal
Engines running hot, singing Jimmy Dean
Anytime there's time to kill
He drove like a demon
And he burned up the screen
But he never looked back, no
She just wasted my time
[CHORUS]
Gonna let those horses loose again
Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal
See them running wild just like Jimmy Dean
Overdrive in chrome and steel
Hey, c'mon
Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal
Well, now, he's a rebel without a cause
Live and die behind the wheel

Icehouse Jimmy Dean Comments
It was one of the two new tracks included on the Great Southern Land compilation, but on iTunes it's included as a Man of Colours bonus.
LOVES THIS SONG
მხედრიონის ნაბოზვრები
Icehouse at their best did a kind of SimpleMinds/Bowie/Roxy impression and still managed to sound like Icehouse. At their worst they sounded like a blustering sub-INXS in search of a chorus. Sadly this falls into the latter. Hey! Still love you, Iva!
The expanded version of A man of colours put right the proper placement for this track.
Not the bonus track from Man of colours, but the missing single from Great Southern Land their Greatest hits.
Originally appears like prevously unrealesed track for the compilation album of 1989 "Great Southern land".
one of two new songs on "great southern land .
I often think this would have a much bigger hit if it had a video clip made for it. It only reached #50 on the Aus charts.
