I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girl-friends say That you don't ever want to see me again And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten I guess you'd call it cowardice But I'm not prepared to go on like this I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I see you sent my letters back And my L.P. records and they're all scratched I can't see the point in another day When nobody listens to a word I say You can call it lack of confidence But to carry on living doesn't make no sense I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't stand losing you I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I guess this is our last goodbye And you don't care, so I won't cry But you'll be sorry when I'm dead And all this guilt will be on your head I guess you'd call it suicide But I'm too full to swallow my pride I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't |

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no-one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true |

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's no room This girl's an open page Book marking she's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand so close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use He sees her He starts to shake he starts to cough Just like the old man in That famous book by Nabakov Don't stand so close to me |

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on |

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don't want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don't ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done It's dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with my head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done And they're only gonna change this place By killing everyone in the human race And they would kill me for a cigarette But I dont even want to die just yet There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be and invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done |

Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, Be my girl I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink There was somehow, something wrong somewhere And each day seemed grey and dead The seeds of desperation were growing in my head I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen "Experience something different with our new imported toy She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy." She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life And later in a moment that girl became my wife And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall And now my life is different since Sally came my way I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl |

Headlight pointing through the night Never thought I'd see the day Playing with my life this way Gotta keep my foot right down If I had wings I'd leave the ground Burning in the outside lane People think that I'm insane The day I take a bend too fast Judgement that could be my last I'll be wiped right off the slate Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late I'll be late... |

I change my clothes ten times
Before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, my panic it makes me late I know you never asked for this I know My shots will always miss My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times Before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet 'Til I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me for the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shots will always miss, always miss Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you |

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh More loneliness than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle, yeah A year has passed since I wrote my note But I should have known this right from the start Only hope can keep me together Love can mend your life but Love can break your heart I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle, yeah Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone at being alone Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle, yeah Sending out at an S.O.S. |

No time for complexities [the niceties] of conversation
No time for smiles, no time for knowing No [Less] time for intricacies of explanation No [Less] time for sharing [caring] even less for showing If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time for a quick kiss [cigarette] at the railway station No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper Only time for time table calls and transportation No time to think no time to dare If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time |

There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat I'm the chap who lives in it There's a tree on the sidewalk There's a car by the door I'll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He'll look for a place to sit My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay Cut off my fingers in the door of my car How could I do it? My wife is proud to tell me Of her love affairs How could she do this to me? My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day Throw down the morning papers And spill my tea I don't know what's wrong with me The cups and plates are in a conspiracy I'm covered in misery My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day |

Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right thru' my open door I can't sleep with your memory Dreaming dreams of what used to be When she left I was cold inside That look on my face was just pride No regrets no love no tears Living on my own was the least of my fears Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you Since that day when you'd gone Just had too [sic] carry on I get thru' day but late at night Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right Every day, just the same Old rules for the same old game All I gained was heartache All I made was one mistake Now the bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you [Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you Without you Without you] |

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk for ever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away, no way And if it's the price I pay, some say Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay I may as well play Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk for ever Walking on the moon We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away no way And if it's the price I pay, some say Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay I may as well play |

I don't want to spend the rest of my life Looking at the barrel of an armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don't want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don't ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done It's dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with my head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done And they're only gonna change this place By killing everyone in the human race And they would kill me for a cigarette But I dont even want to die just yet There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be and invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done |

The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I've heard in twenty years The razor's edge of night, it cuts into my sleep I sit upon the edge now Shall I make that leap? I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman The sky's alive with turned on television sets I walk the streets and seek another vision yet The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier The edge of time closes down as I disappear I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman Always talking to myself Oh! The time that's best is when surroundings fade away The presence of another world comes close to me It's time for me to throw away this paper knife I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman I'm the omegaman I'm so tired Of the omegaman |

Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man His blindness was his wisdom I'm such a lonely man And as the world was turning It rolled itself in pain This does not seem to touch you He pointed to the rain You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find the love you miss And on the days that followed I listened to his words I strained to understand him I chased his thoughts like birds You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find the love you miss You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this You will see joy in this sadness You will find this love you miss And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy man (repeat to fade) |
