  • Question time that says I brought dishonour
    My head's bowed in shame
    Seems that I've blackened the family name
    My mother says that she can't
    Stand the neighbours talking
    I've gotta pack my bags, leave this home
    Start walking
    I'm guilty, I wish that I was sorry this time
    I wish that I could pay for my crime

    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me

    Remember when we used to go
    To church on Sundays? I lay awake at night
    Terrified of school on Mondays
    It's too late now i wish I was a child again
    I wish I felt secure again

    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me

    As I pass a recreation ground
    Remember my friends
    Always been found and I can't

    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me

    Now I leave them all in the never never land
    The station seems so cold
    The ticket's in my hand
    My girl calls my name, "Hi, Dave
    Drop in, see around, come back
    If you're this way again"
    I'm on my own, I've got a long long way to go
    Hope I make it on my own

    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    I can't help thinking about me
    I can't help thinking about me
    I can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    I can't help thinking about me

    Can't help thinking about me
    Can't help thinking about me
    (I can't help thinking about me)
    Can't help thinking about me
    (I can't help thinking about me)
    Can't help thinking about me
    (I can't help thinking about me)
    Can't help thinking about me
    (I can't help thinking about me) can't help Publisher: T.R.O. INC.

  • Adie Barrett from UkThere's a lot going on in this song. Referencing the comment about Bowie considering this song is not one of his finest hours, every time I put it on I'm so into the song by that point that I have forgiven its potentially awkward delivery. The emotionally charged scenario means the characters were only blurting their words out as might have happened in those moments. I could be overthinking all that, but the whole song just works for me.
