Men At Work - Touching the untouchables

Tekst :

Hello to you, my sweet young friends
Have you got money perhaps you could lend?
I wash my leather face in the afternoon sun
My shirt s turn my time s near done

Touching the untouchables but they don t know
Respect the disrespectables, but in the end you know
You turn away, what can I say?

Spend my nights in the telephone booth
I make sure I leave the phone off the hook
There are no Jones and I pay no rent
I have to stand straight because my back s so bent
Tell my secretary I ain t takin any calls,
And if you want to find me, just ask the boys...
Down at the wall...That s where I ll be...

Oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Park bench and cigarettes
Can you help me get off this fence?
Can t you see, I m just an old man
Tryin hard, do what I can

Touching the untouchables but they don t know
Repect the disrespectables, but in the end you know
You turn away, what can I say?
You ll never, never know
You ll never know

    Burn

    Your tears run deep and they have just to seep through my veins
    Can we leave?
    Your touch, not enough
    Your skin just to thin for my bad grin for you

    And there is no love between us, not anymore
    The final curtain falls
    It s no revelation that we have to part
    And there is no...

    Subhuman race

    Jesus knows my story, he knows the position that I m in
    A hooker knows the feeling to get fucked the way I ve been
    Turn my insides out; your mouth drank my water

    (Chorus)
    You look at me like I m subhuman
    You...

    One night

    You took all my money
    I gave you no name
    My love and my money
    Did you think i would chase it in the rain?
    My eyes are now open
    But what do i see?
    One ride after midnight
    Had i thought it would mean that much to me?

    Everybody needs someone to love
    Everybody needs a friend
    Everybody needs...

    The living dead

    Eyelash dead on a pale white cheek
    Couldn’t stay awake to bleed
    I drank long and deep from the fount unwillingly pouring it in
    What I did suck from that scentless mouth was the taste of the nothing

    What is the life for the dead at heart?

    What my soul...

    Love controlled despair

    To flee, and to be gone
    (to be gone)
    Detached from myself
    To see clearly what s beyond
    (what s beyond)
    the dreary and cold walls within my head
    I exist in desire in my dark haven
    I long to cleanse my soul of regret

    All I want is you...
