HELLO | |||
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe | I am the ghost of Troubled Joe | ||
hung by his pretty white neck | |||
some eighteen months ago | |||
I traveled to a mystical time zone | I traveled to a mystical time zone | ||
but I missed my bed | |||
so I soon came home | |||
they said: | |||
"There's too much caffeine | |||
in your blood stream | |||
and a lack of real spice | |||
in your life" | |||
I said: | I said: | ||
"Leave me alone | |||
because I'm alright, dad | |||
just surprised to still | |||
be on my own...." | |||
Ooh, but don't mention love | |||
I'd hate the strain of the pain again | 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 leave | |||
Ooh, but don't mention love | |||
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again | |||
I'd hate the pain | 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 and I | |||
they take what they want from life | |||
Ooh, but don't mention love | |||
no - just 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 | |||
Ooh, I think I'm in love | |||
Ooh, I think I'm in love | |||
Oho, I think I'm in love | |||
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv | |||
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv | |||
