Who can it be knocking at my door? Go away,
don't come around here no more. Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very
tired, and I'm not feeling right. All I wish is to be alone Stay away, don't you
invade my home. Best off if you hang outside, Don't come in - I'll only run
and hide.
Who can it be now?......
Who can it be knocking at my
door? Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor. If he hears, he'll knock all
day, I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay. I've done no harm, I keep to
myself; There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health. I like it here
with my childhood friend; Here they come, those feelings again!
Who
can it be now?......
Is it the man come to take me away? Why do they follow
me? It's not the future that I can see, It's just my fantasy
Oh. Who can it be now?......
I Can See It In Your Eyes
By your leave, I think that I'll be going now I
think I've stayed a little long I looked up all my mother's recipes I can't think
what I did wrong
We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine You say
it's love you want, but there is no time I realise, I can see it in your eyes You
keep staring at the floor
I used to look at your school photographs But I
don't have them anymore I wonder who's in my old college rooms Or stuck
on my old locker door
I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night I
wish that it was me, but I wake in fright I realise, I can see it in your eyes I've
only got myself to blame
Winter kisses when your lips were blue Like
chasing wild geese in the snow Pressing faces on the window panes But that's
a long long time ago
We go to a restaurant You say it's love you
want I realise, I can see it in your eyes You're moving on to something
more
Down Under
Traveling in a fried-out combie On a
hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me
nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said,
"Do
you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men
plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you
better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot
four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just
smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said,
"I come from a
land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear,
can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."
Lying
in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man,
"Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And
he said,
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? - oh yeah yeah
Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear
the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."
Underground
Don't take the fire from your eyes Must make them feel the
heat They build castles underground for the rich and politic elite
Keep
all the home fires burning, Don't let the lights go out The streets are empty,
and there's nobody about.
We'll be alright in the morning
time - yeah We're doing fine, I'll see you on the night line
There's no
need for you to fight, boys, Hang up all your guns Find your mask and
asbestos you can, get ready to run
Keep all the food lines moving, Don't
come cry'n' for more The signs were there, you should have bought connections
before
We'll be alright in the morning time, yeah
We're doing fine,
I'll see you on the Nightline
It's such a big joke It's the talk of the
town All the planets to whom I spoke Are trying their best to play it
down
Don't take the fire from your eyes Must make them feel the
heat But my head's unsteady I can't seem to keep my feet
Jump off
the Eiffel Tower Just have a look around Move fast, in the tunnels of the
underground Move fast, in the tunnels of the underground
Let's
go!
Helpless Automation
I stay in my room, All alone in
the gloom, What need I of light? Machines they can see in the night, And
I feel no pain Metal heart and a metal brain, But something is
wrong 'cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your
door, I guess I'll wait a moment more Your hall light comes on And now
my turn to fire upon But I wheel away Defer my plight, for another
day To dream of your face But a video screen takes its place
Hey, oh
it's true I'm a helpless automaton, Make an ultimatum to you Hey, it's
true Machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I went to
the man, I told him a robot is what I am, But he just smiled, said I was a fractious
child "Distrusted not Rusted" That's why I feel so disgusted But I know he's
wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true, I'm a
helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you Hey, it's true Machinery in my
pocket, I've even got a docket from you I'm a helpless automaton, make an
ultimatum to you Hey, it's true Machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket
from you It's true I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to
you Hey, it's true Machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from
you
People Just Love To Play With Words
I'm not trying to impress you with my lines
They don't mean nothing at all
It's just another expression of mine
It don't mean nothing at all
Mystifying, Oh no
Crystalising, you know
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?
There are two sides, a win or loss
What's two down and four across?
Analysing and implying, you know
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?...

Touching The Untouchables
Hello to you, my sweet young
friends Have you got money perhaps you could lend? I wash my leather face
in the afternoon sun My shirt's turn my time's near done
Touching the
untouchables but they don't know Respect the disrespectables, but in the end you
know You turn away, what can I say?
Spend my nights in the telephone
booth I make sure I leave the phone off the hook There are no Jones' and I
pay no rent I have to stand straight because my back's so bent Tell my
secretary I ain't takin' any calls, And if you want to find me, just ask the
boys... Down at the wall...That's where I'll be... Oh...
Park bench and cigarettes Can you help me get off
this fence? Can't you see, I'm just an old man trying hard, do what I
can
Touching the untouchables but they don't know Respect the
disrespectables, but in the end you know You turn away, what can I
say? You'll never, never know You'll never know
Catch A Star
Experience babe, kicking stones and cans Experience babe,
cigarette-stained hands It's not too late, hear it in the wind It's not too late,
feel passion creeping in Intoxication, familiar smells of the hotels Infatuation,
of knowing who you are
You and I, You and I, You and I, Arrow
through my heart, Catch a star.
Isolation, rows and rows of
cars Isolation, like Jupiter and Mars Staring faces, set in
celluloid Welcome to the late show, starring Null and Void Complications,
things get in the way Sweet sensation of knowing you are near and not too
far
You and I, You and I, You and I, Arrow through my heart Catch
a star.
You and I, You and I, You and I, Freeway through your
heart Catch a star.
Catch a star!
Down By The Sea
Down by the sea I found your hidden treasure Just you and
me, We overdosed on pleasure
Yonnies in the wind, We're ruggin'
up for winter Putting out the bins In cold and windy weather
Down
by the docks Live all the silent sea-ships Crates are stored on
blocks Where now only the rats live
Sail me down the river Till we
reach the shore Diving into the center Eating out the core
Down on
the beach Saluting Captain Benbow Always out of reach It's quiet when
the tide's low
Climbing up the cliffs You can see for miles far The
boat that ran adrift Is sitting on the sand bar
Laughing at the
waves That storm the river mouth The ice is on the move now Creeping
north and south
Down by the sea I found your hidden treasure Just
you and me We over-dosed on pleasure
Listen to your
heart Screamin' at the sky Can't you feel it tremble? Don't you wonder
why?
Crazy
I called you up on the telephone
You weren't there, you weren't at home
He didn't know what to do
Now he's sniffin glue
Honey you're driving him
Crazy, hazy, crazy
I'm amazed if, 'mazed if I get through, go
I went down to the corner street
Bought a record with a beat
But that just didn't do
Made him think of you
The record is drivin' him
Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy
He needs some love, this madness is drivin' him
Around the bend, he can't see to the end
Round and round and round and round he goes
Got new neighbours, moved in next door
They got some daughters, I counted four,
He's forgotten your name
I know who's to blame
These honeys are drivin' him...
Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy,
Round and round and round and round he goes
