I drink good coffee every morning Comes from a place that's far away And when i'm done I feel like talking Without you here there is less to say
Don't want you thinking I'm unhappy What is closer to the truth If I lived till I was a hundred and two I just don't think I'll ever get over you
No longer moved to drink strong whiskey I shook the hand of time and I knew That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs I just don't think I'll ever get over you
A face that dances and it haunts me With laughter still ringin' in my ears I still find pieces of your presence here even, even after all these years
I don't want you thinkin' that I don't get asked to dinner Cuz I'm here to say that I sometimes do And even though I may seem to feel a touch of love I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived till I was a hundred and two I just don't think I'll ever get over you
I'm not tryin' to impress you with my lines They don't mean nothin' at all It's just another expression of mine It don't mean nothin' at all Mystifying, Oh no Crystalizing, 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? Analyzing 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?...
Skip de skip, up the road Off to school you go "Don't you be a bad boy Johnny Don't you slip up Or play the fool" "Oh no Ma, Oh no Da, I'll be your golden boy I will obey ev'ry golden rule" Get told by the teacher Not to day-dream Told by my mother:
Be good Be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good be good (johnny) Be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good (johnny) Be good be good.
"Are you going to play football this year, John?" "No!" "Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then, are you Johnny?" "No! no! no!" "Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me, what kind of a boy are you, John?"
I only like dreaming All the day long Where no one is screaming
Be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good be good (johnny) Be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good Johnny
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... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Park bench and cigarettes Can you help me get off this fence? Can't you see, I'm just an old man Tryin' hard, do what I can
Touching the untouchables but they don't know Repect the disrespectables, but in the end you know You turn away, what can I say? You'll never, never know You'll never know
Experience babe, kickin' 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 creepin' 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.
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
Who can it be knocking at my door? Go 'way, don't come 'round 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 now? Who can it be now? 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? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? 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? Oh...Who can it...Who can it... Yeah yeah yeah
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
We'll be alright in the morning time, yeah We're doing fine, I'll see you on the nightline
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
Who can it be knocking at my door? Go 'way, don't come 'round 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.

Sometimes the sun shines And I close the blinds 'Cos I can't stand to see the light Of day I have no use for pain But I don't mind the rain 'Cos I can stare outside and hear the sound Today I looked right down to the ground With nothing in between to break my fall I'm blue for you, blue for you I don't know what to do
CHORUS Gotta form a plan of attack Can't stop to look back I know You are so far from here Gotta be strong in my mind Not encroach on your time I know that That would be wrong for sure
I must get out and about Of that I have no doubt There surely must be new places to go Sights I've never seen All with pastures green 'Cos the old ones are making me blue for you 'Cos I'm blue for you, blue for you I don't know what to do And I'm blue for you, blue for you I don't know what to do
Gotta form a plan of attack Climb back on the track I know Bid my devil friend good-bye Hope I'm still in the race But I don't know whaat to chase oh no And you're still so far from here
The sun it still shines in And I shall close the blinds 'Cos I know I won't see you anymore, see you anymore And I'm blue for you, blue for you I don't know what to do 'Cos I'm blue for you, blue for you I don't know what to do I don't know I could take a big jump
