I shouldn't have driven
|
You shouldn't have driven - but we got there
|
Had a good time, so we left the car
|
And the cabby was from a war-zone
|
We were glad he was driving us home
|
I was gladder of some movement
|
You took it on, you took it on board
|
I said "Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst"
|
|
If this isn't love it's very close
|
Can you hear the world is waking up?
|
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
|
Have I got them in me?
|
|
Bought myself one of those keyboard axes
|
Wanted to get out and dance away from the piano
|
That could have been the beginning of the end
|
If I wasn't already in the middle
|
The crowd was confused - and then they cheered
|
My career it was back on track
|
I was relieved, full of love for the people
|
I said "Thank you, each and every one of you,
|
For loving me at my worst"
|
|
If this isn't love it's very close
|
Can you hear the world is waking up?
|
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
|
Have I got them in me?
|
|
All you bright and middle-aged things
|
Attending your sons and daughters
|
Spare a thought for me out here with the kids
|
To hell with your bricks and mortar
|
|
It's you and me and the Holy Ghost
|
On the road to dawn heading down the coast
|
We're better sorry than safe when you count the cost
|
Mmm sorry than safe when you count the cost
|
|
There's a bar out east called Scrum
|
Only red wine and the finest of cigars
|
And if we leave now we'll still get in
|
You can find yourself a young consort
|
Writers of unpopular fiction are trying to drink more
|
Than bikies who've all left their beards at the door
|
You'll drink all the wine and smoke your cigar
|
And say "Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst"
|
|
If this isn't love it's very close
|
Can you hear the world is waking up?
|
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
|
Have I got them in me?
|

Thank You (for loving me at my worst)
