Bicycle Race

The song

"More of that Jazz" is yet another one of Taylor's bitter comments about current society and the way rock and roll is disrespected. It is loop based and Taylor plays most instruments and sings all vocals, reaching some very high notes (peaking on a E5). The outro also contains short clips from many songs on the album, including "Dead on Time", "Bicycle Race", "Mustapha", "If You Can't Beat Them", "Fun It" and "Fat Bottomed Girls".

If you're feeling tired and only
Uninspired and lonely
If you're thinking how the days seem long
All you're given
Is what you've been given a thousand times before

Just more, more
More of that jazz
More
No more of that jazz
Gimme no more
No more of that jazz

Only football gives us thrills
Rock and roll just pays the bills
Only our team is the real team
Bring out the dogs
Get on your feet
Lie on the floor
Kinda think I've heard that line before

Just more
More of that jazz
More
No more of that jazz
Gimme no more
No more of that jazz

Oh no matter
Fool got no business hanging round and telling lies
Bicycle races are coming your way
If you can't beat 'em join 'em
Fun it
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

No more, no more, no more of that jazz
