(joe jackson)



Here we go, monday morning at last

In the land of the brave and the bold

Sunlight is hurting my eyes

But it's on to the glittering prize

There's a rent to pay

Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast

There'll be a merger before it gets cold

They've closed down the whole seventh floor

The young guns are ready for war

But i'm holding on



Long ago and far away

I was safe and sound

But love got lost

Along the way



Saturday night, went to see la bohíme *

Used the spare ticket just for my coat

I guess i should swallow my pride

But i'd be damned if i'd hawk it outside

In the pouring rain

Monday morning and no-one to blame

Keep hitting icebergs but i'm still afloat

But i'd like a new body and face

But i'd settle for a friend with a space

On their calendar



Hard to know and hard to say

Wonder what i've found

But love got lost

Along the way



Here comes mr. worldly and wise

If he touches me again i'll scream

I can't stand his sensitive eyes

Like i'm some dying diva to him

Touch me ... don't touch me ...

Touch me ... don't touch me ... don't touch me ...



Long ago and far away

I was safe and sound

But love got lost

Along the way
