Hello,
HELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
some eighteen months ago
I traveled to a mystical time zone

And I missed my bed and I soon came home
but I missed my bed
 
so I soon came home

"There's too much caffeine in your blood stream
"There's too much caffeine
  And a lack of real spice in your life"
in your blood stream
 
and a lack of real spice
in your life"
I said:
I said:
"Leave me alone because I'm alright, Dad
"Leave me alone
  Surprised to still be on my own"
because I'm alright, dad
 
just surprised to still
Oh, but don't mention love
be on my own...."
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
 
a rush and a push and the land that
A rush and a push  
we stand on is ours
And the land that we stand on is ours
it has been before
It has been before, so it shall be again
so it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
and people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need and just leave
they take what they need, and leave
 
Ooh, but don't mention love
Oh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the pain and the strain all over again
a rush and a push and the land that
 
we stand on is ours
A rush and a push  
it has been before
And the land that we stand on is ours
so why can't it be now?
It has been before, so why can't it be now?

And people who are weaker than you and I

your youth may be gone
A rush and a push

And the land that we stand on is ours
so phone me, phone me, phone me
Your youth may be gone but you're still a young man
so phone me, phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me
Ooh, I think I'm in love
So phone me, phone me, phone me
Ooh, I think I'm in love
 
Oho, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love

HELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
hung by his pretty white neck
some eighteen months ago
I traveled to a mystical time zone
but I missed my bed
so I soon came home
they said:
"There's 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 still
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 it 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-just 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
so phone me, phone me, phone me
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Oho, I think I'm in love
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
