A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours

[Intro]

I am the ghost of Troubled Joe

Hung by his pretty white neck

Some eighteen months ago

I travelled to a mystical time zone

And I missed my bed

And I soon came home

[Verse]

They said, "There's too much caffeine in your bloodstream

And a lack of real spice in your life"

I said, "Leave me alone because I'm alright, Dad

Surprised to still be on my own"

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, but don't mention love

I hate the strain of the pain again

[Chorus]

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 just leave

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, but don't mention love

I hate the pain of the strain all over again

[Chorus]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, but don't mention love

I hate the strain of the pain again

[Chorus]

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

So phone me, phone me, phone me

[Outro]

I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Oh, I think I'm in love

Oh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

They said, "There's too much caffeine in your bloodstream

And a lack of real spice in your life"

I said, "Leave me alone because I'm alright, Dad

Surprised to still be on my own"
