from the songs album Strangeways, Here We Come
Oh hello
I am the ghost of troubled joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And i missed my bed
And i soon came home
They said :
"there's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice
In your life"
I said :
"leave me alone
Because i'm alright, dad
Surprised to still
Be on my own..."
Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and i
They take what they need, and just leave
Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So why can't it be now ?
And people who are weaker than you or i
They take what they want from life
Oh, but don't mention love
No - no, don't mention love !
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone
But you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me
Oh, i think i'm in love
Oh, i think i'm in love
Oh, i think i'm in love (think i'm in love)
Urrgh, i think i'm in lerv
Oh ...
