Magpie looking me right in the eye He don’t have no fear I know he wasn’t just wandering by He wants to chew on my ear He’s perched himself way up on high saying “Just what are you doing here?” Fish got a bed under the falls Bird got a nest in the air Dog got his old rag down on the floor Fox got a place in the dark I’m fixing a hole where the rain’s getting in Down at the end of my heart Two of us here quietly shooting the breeze Nothing will tear us apart Sun going down at the back of the trees To start a new start I’m looking for somewhere to lay down my head Before the cover of dark

She was dressed in white, her hair sparkly black And the times I cried you know I took all back Shuffling and sliding and slipping along Don't need to tell me what you want You’re gonna get it, yeah, yeah you’re gonna get it (Yeah, yeah) Right away I knew what I was gonna do Sat in the car and my heart just soared Slipped into gear and the engine roared Into the night, we began to run No need to tell me what you want You’re gonna get it, yeah, yeah you’re gonna get it (Yeah, yeah) Right away I knew what I was gonna do Oh my, can’t tell a lie, she made my blood electrify It went boom, boom boom bop diddy-bop Boom boom boom! Boom, boom boom bop diddy-bop Boom boom boom! (break) Up on the cliffs, over the sea Where nobody else ever bothers to be The world it spins and you roll along No need to tell me what you want You’re gonna get it, yeah, yeah you’re gonna get it (Yeah, yeah) Right away I knew what I was gonna do Oh my, can’t tell a lie, she made my blood electrify It went boom, boom boom bop diddy-bop Boom boom boom! Boom, boom boom bop diddy-bop Boom boom boom!

See those two all over the street Making love to each other, all sickly and sweet Like they need someone else to be complete I won’t spend my life joined at the hip Locked together lip to lip I don’t believe in all that soul mate trip It’s all novel, no mystery, brainless and stupid Clean hair and teeth and straight tie suited Don’t venture here now, no, Mr Cupid, if you’re Out there don’t come looking for me I don’t need someone else, just let me be I’m fine as I am, I’m doing alright Don’t creep to my door in the middle of night To my fish in the sea won’t be dropping no line Now or never no thanks, and no other time Please go away now, I’m doing just fine It’s all novel, no mystery, brainless and stupid Clean hair and teeth and straight tie suited Don’t venture here now, no, Mr Cupid, if you’re Out there don’t come looking for me I don’t need someone else, just let me be I’m fine as I am, I’m doing alright Don’t creep to my door in the middle of night
