Paul Kelly - Words And Music Lyrics
Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)I was standing in the schoolyardI guess it was sometime in 1965Just me and my friends listening to the radioAnd a song came on called I feel fineThe playground sounds grew dimThe whole wide world seemed to fadeThere was nothing but me and that heavenly soundBurning in my brainWords and Music - yeah, yeahI was lying on the living room floorWith the sound way up on Highway 61Then I heard my mother calling through the doorSaying, "Now, what about those dishes then, son?"So I picked the needle upAnd yelled out, "Just one more song to go"Then I put the needle back downAt the start of Desolation RowWords and Music - yeah, yeahNow two things saved that crazy sailorTrapped for days inside his hullNo food, no water, no nothingJust his tongue rattling around inside his skullWords and Music - yeah, yeah
