HOW COME ?
(Ronnie Lane / Kevin Westlake)

The Small Faces

Also recorded by: The Pogues


How come when I cut the ace of hearts 
You always draw the ace of spades? 
How's it when your best friend 
Brings you lillies on your birthday? 

How come, how come 
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen 
How come, how come 
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

How come when the local clergy calls 
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black? 
What kind of bread are you gonna bake 
With that hemlock in your spice rack? 

How come, how come 
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen 
How come, how come 
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

The spider's run, the cobweb's gone 
Did you eat it when the moon was new? 
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that? 
I've even broken up your broom 

How come, how come 
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen 
How come, how come 
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
