"I ask you to sing a nightsingin'
I want you to sing like people used to sing
I want you to sing like" "Big Audio Dynamite"
"They're like co*kroaches all the time"
See that guy over there, he's as crazy as hell
Spending his time inside a wishing well
Gazing at water, saying what if I...
And he's still there gazing in six months time
He's got a girl that's crazy 'bout him
But her heart is locked away with him
He doesn't realise that he holds the key
To unlock the pain and set them free
But that's alright, a little melancholy maybe
That's a part of you see
On a one way ticket, headed to Nowheresville
I know 'cause I've already been
Heard about Sister Elly was a party girl
Now she've seen the troubles of a future world
Tellin' everybody when the bombs gonna drop
And she's packed in a job at the corner shop
She joined the church, help to get away
Now she sees the Lord every time she prays
Asks for forgiveness for all our sins
But when she sits down she doesn't know where to begin
But that's alright, a little melancholy maybe
That's a part of you see
On a one way ticket, headed to Nowheresville
I know 'cause I've already been
A little bit of la la la la love
A little bit of la la la la love
A little bit of la la la la love
A little bit of la la la la love
Where d'ya think you're goin'
You ain't goin' nowhere
Ain't no way of knowing
If you've not been there
But that's alright, a little melancholy maybe
That's a part of you see
On a one way ticketm headed to Nowheresville
I know 'cause I've already been
That's alright, a little melancholy maybe
That's a part of you see
On a one way ticket, headed for Nowheresville
I know 'cause I've already been
Yeah, I know 'cause I've already been
That's right, I know 'cause I've already been
