Faine

Ever wondered what a song about Jon Faine - or "Faine-o" as one of my journalism lecturers refers to him - would sound like? Well, now you can know!

[With apologies to David Bowie, Carlos Alomar and John Lennon)

****

Faine, (Faine) makes a man take things over

Faine, (Faine) lets him loose, hard to swallow
Faine, (Faine) puts you there where things are hollow
Faine (Faine)


Faine, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane (sane)
Faine (Faine)

Faine, (Faine) what you like is in the limo
Faine, (Faine) what you get is no tomorrow
Faine, (Faine) what you need you have to borrow
Faine (Faine)


Faine, nien! it's mine! is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Faine (Faine)

Could it be the best, could it be? 
Really be, really, babe? 
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe? 
Could it, babe? , could it, babe? 


Is it any wonder I reject you first? 
Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Faine (Faine)


Faine, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain (pain)
(Faine)


Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine, Faine Faine
What's your name?
