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

but I missed my bed

so 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

just surprised to still

be on my own...."

Ooh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the real 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 and 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 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

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
