  • This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
    If you know the clues, it's easy to get through

    But you look confused and you don't know what to do
    It's hard to get an answer when you haven't got a clue
    If you work it out, tell me what you find

    If the least you can do is show some restraint
    Then the most you can do is get carried away (carried away, carried away)

    I can see that you look confused and you don't know what to do
    Say what you see, what you like
    If you work it out, tell me what you find
    We can have a few decent days and nights

    If you're meant to be here and you want to be late
    The best thing you can do is get lost on the way (lost on the way, lost on the way)

    I can see that you look confused and you don't know what to do
    Say what you see, what you like
    If you work it out, tell me what you find
    We can have a few decent days and nights

    We can have a few
    We can have a few
    We can have a few decent days and nights
    We can have a few
    We can have a few
    We can have a few decent days and nights

    If you want to make a guess, you should know it's not a game
    'Cause you'll never get another chance to make a guess again
    (Make a guess again, make a guess again)

    This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
    If you know the clues it's easy to get through

    But you look confused and you don't know what to do
    It's hard to get an answer if you haven't got a clue
    If you want to make a guess, then you should know it's not a game
    Never get another chance to make a guess again
    If you work it out, tell me what you find (hoo) Writer/s: Barry Hyde, David Craig, David Hyde, Ross Millard
