 HELLO
 i am the ghost of troubled joe hung by his pretty white neck
 some eighteen months ago
 i travelled to a mystical time zone but i missed my bed
 so i soon came home, they said:
 there is too much caffeine in your blood stream
 and a lack of real spice in your life
 i said:
 leave me alone, because i~m alright, dad
 just surprised to be on my own...
 ooh,  but don~t mention love
 i~d  hate the strain of  the pain again
 a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
 it has been before so i shall be again
 and people who are uglier than you and i
 they take what they need and leave
 ooh,  but don~t mention love
 i~d  hate the pain of the strain  all over again
 a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
 it has been before so why can~t it be now?
 and people who are weaker than you and i
 they take what they want from life
 ooh,  but don~t mention love
 no,  no- don~t mention love
 a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
 your youth may be gone but you~re still a young man
 so phone me, phone me, phone me
 phone me, phone me, phone me
 ooh,  i think i~m in love...
