Intro

He------------llo,
I am the ghost of troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty neck some eighteen months ago 
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed and I soon came home

Verse 1

They said "there's too much caffine 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" 

Chorus 1

Eb Dm*
Ooh, but don't mention love
Eb Dm7 Bb* A
I'd hate the pain of the strain again

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

Eb Dm*
Ooh, but don't mention love
Eb Dm7 Bb* A
I'd hate the strain of the pain all over again

Verse 3

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 

Chorus 3

Eb Dm*
Ooh, but don't mention love
Eb Dm7 Bb* A
No, no, don't mention love

Verse 4

A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours 
You youth may be gone but you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me 

Outro

Eb Dm*
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Eb Dm*
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Eb Dm*
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Eb Dm*
Uurrgh, I think I'm in love
