lyrics

Hey, I see you looking over here now
Take off those rose tinted glasses
I don’t want you getting the wrong idea I might be the right guy
Hey, barman if you’d please
Get me an island that’s long with lots of rocks but not so much I might fall off

I don’t want any trouble
Not right now
I signed a couple of cheques with my mouth and I really need somebody to help me to cash them in

Goodbye, standard civilisation
It seems nobody knew what was going on here
People chucking up fumes to the atmosphere
Goodbye, the o-zone finally fell
I’m just happy I didn’t get to know you enough to have to say farewell

I don’t want any trouble
Not right now
I signed a couple of cheques with my mouth and I really need somebody to help me to cash them in

Now, if we were in a fairytale
And my name was tinker-bell
She would have screamed “there’s no such thing” right into my face
Now, let’s get this straight
The ellipsis on the rhetorical question you’ve asked is heavier than the point you’ve made

I don’t want any trouble
Not right now
I signed a couple of cheques with my mouth and I really need somebody to help me to cash them in
I don’t want any trouble
Not right now
I signed a couple of cheques with my mouth and I really need somebody to help me to cash them in
