Crowded House - Mean to me - live at sydney opera house; 2006 remastered version lyrics

She came all the way from America She had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents Are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel And you asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me You said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me You know I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance Walk out the door You know what it means to me I... I... I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I I heard him tell you ta...tantalizing Lies What'd'ya know Whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance Walk out the door Mean... Mean... I could not escape Down on my knees You know what it means What it means What it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means
