    A Bad Penny (Live ’74)

    Oh, don’t say those same idol lies
    I’ve heard them before
    This fool who left his heart on an early train
    Won’t buy no more
    Oh no, don’t use those same weeping eyes
    I’ll wipe them no more
    I didn’t want to have to be cruel
    But the truth must be said
    And you ain’t heard enough
    Oh it was not so long ago
    Since you wandered out of here
    To become a silver model
    Of a city on the air
    So don’t choke me with your lies
    Because this man has open eyes
    And I can see
    I can see; I can tell

    I’ve had it enough
    All those sneaky bars and smart parties
    Had it enough
    All those sweet friends and lovers
    I’ve, I’ve had it enough
    All those lonely rooms
    And blank faces
    Had it enough
    And I want you, I want you no more
    I want you, I want you no more

    Oh don’t say those same idol lies
    I’ve heard them before
    This fool who left his heart on an early train
    Won’t buy no more
