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 |

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 realize, 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 realize, 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 realize, I can see it in your eyes You're moving on to something more |

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." |

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 Let's go |

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?... |

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. Catch a star |

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 sandbar 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 |
