There's no more fame to address

did you impress

in all fairness yes

so just cancel my game, if it's all the same to you



I've had clear thoughts

tied in black and blue knots

but you remember that I forgot

to track them down, to track you down

track me down



call me if you need my help

to watch you - help me! help you



I've tried it all before

(I've had good times)

and it's not alot of laughs

(my best one yet)

and there's a hole in my heart



you carried your vice twice

like a basket full of roses and the

pearly gate now closes with you inside.



How should I drink to this

my trains been stalled for ages and

this means me standing still with a

first class ticket

so stick me with it, I'll stick with it



I'm usually in mourning

(I've had good times)

in the afternoon and night

(my best one yet)

otherwise I'm asleep

(I never had enough time)

At least I've got a lot of room

and the alarm is set for noon

(to play you my 'love you' set)

and it's going to go off

before I do

(I've had good times)



SPEAKING DURING INSTRUMENTAL:



so he was in this, this hospital

checkin out the phone he misunderstood

and I was speakin firm, very talkatively at the time

and he was walking around with a dress on

totally dressed with, with his arm down

and he said, I dunno what I'm doing here

I'm a business man

he didn't come and tell me

they totally misunderstood me you know

this is a whole, whole mistake here

this is a whole fuckin mistake

but I can't explain it and they don't wanna listen to me

you know, you know this

no they didn't, they didn't listen to me, you can't help it

I couldn't explain it, but business is business

and then there's fuckin this other time

this fuckin town, they didn't wanna let me out

they didn't wanna let me telephone you directly

these bastards,

these bastards stuck me in here and I wanted to talk to my lawyer

now I'm totally pissed, man

you're the first guy I've met since I, since I got here

now what, what should I do?

look, maybe you can help me out here

maybe you can get me out of here

the hell with the girl

I don't care who you are

I run 10 kilometers a day

and they put me down for a nice, nice long stay

anyway now I'm here for a while now

you know, I'll just have a good time
