I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left ( as people do ),
And forgets what we've been through
(Does this sound familiar to you ?)
It's not that she's gone away
It's the things I hear she has got to say
About me - and about my friends
When we've got no defence.



That's her: I'll never believe her again.
She might have deceived all my friends
I know they will see in the end
What it all means when she says (yeah!)
I want you back (She says)

But what's worse: she thinks it's true
But that's just her (she always was a little bit confused!)
She's not worth the time I had to lose

Tracy, Tracy was angry
A bad mood, a bad mood
I told her that it's an ill wind
Blows no good, blows no good

Then she told me
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Drwin

I said, Tracy, won't you listen, this is Christmas
Don't you go, don't you go
She said, David, believe me, I wouldn't miss this for the world
I've got to blow, I've got to blow

She said again
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin

Now she's gone, gone, gone
Just like the wind
I just sigh, I just sigh
But I'm dreaming that I'm gleaming
In her eye, in her eye

But I'll always hear
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it to Darwin
She said never made it to Darwin
Never made it to Darwin
That year, Santa never came

Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the Earth

She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue
A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again.

He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano
He'd say, please don't go to the volcano

They were saving for a little hut
He collected sea shells every day
Every night they'd share a cigarette
But the ancient, angry gods got in the way

He'd say, Leilani, don't go to the volcano
He would plead, please don't go, I'll miss you so

Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
Katoomba hey! Macumbah ho! Umgawah!
Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah
Leilani crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai
Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!
Leilani nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile
Aba-laba-laba Hut! Aba-laba-laba Hut!
Umgawah!!!
Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
Hey! Ho! Hey-eh!
Ah Ah

Still the young man sits there on the beach
He's staring misty-eyed out into space
He's thinking about his girlfriend, of late deceased
At least her death had purpose, his life is a waste

Hey, his life is a waste
Please don't go, I love you, I love you, I love you so

My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends ask why she's not around,
She won't come home.
I'm so alone (you'll never know!).
You can't bury love,
You've gotta dig it up.
Yeah, you've gotta live it up.

I take her flowers each day.
I place them over her grave.
I want her back
Because I look so bad, so bad in black
(Like a maniac)

You can't bury love,
You've gotta dig it up,
Yeah, you've gotta live it up.

Please, darling, come home to me.
Well, I'll make you so happy, you will see!
I'll paint your room
In pink and blue
(I'll even choose the colour scheme for you!).
You can't take away my love
I'll never give it up!
Yeah, I'm gonna dig it up.

(Don't!)
(Don't! I Don't want to know!)

My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends, you ask me why she's six feet down,
I can't tell you why Œcos if I even try
I'd fall down flat on my face
And I'd cry, "you can't take away my love"
I'm gonna dig it up!
I'm gonna live it up, yeah,
I'm gonna dig it up, dig it up.
I'm never gonna stop
With that loving cup.
Gotta fill it up.

I am the captain of a ghostly crew,
Sail the seven seas with nothing to do.
The girl that I thought was untrue

Really loved me.Boo,hoo,hoo.

Near hidden reefs we appear in the gloom
Luring mariners to their doom.
As we`re condemned,we condemn others too.
Who would love me? who? would you?

I`m asking you.

I`m on the Death Ship,
I sail the seas alone.
Death Ship - I can call no port home.


Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind

Let us in,Let us in!

I`m on the Death Ship,
I sail the seas alone.
Death Ship - I can call no port home.
Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind

Let us in,Let us in,Let us in!

I need somebody who will die for me
To free me of this misery.
I need someone who will cry for me

Really Love me.Really.

Did we ever meet in Zanzibar,
Two Caucasians at the town bazaar?
Are you who you say you are?
Did you offer me a Dutch cigar?
You must have thought you were so bourgeois.

Are you who you say your are?

After all these years,you haven`t changed at all
But I can`t say you look the same.

Summer days are hot in zanzibar
And at night the sky is filled with stars.

Listen.You can hear guitars.



Native people,skins as black as tar,
Wear bright-coloured robes in Zanzibar.
They`ve never even heard of ska!
On a tour of limestone caves
Did we see where traders kept their slaves?

Was that how we spent the day?

After all these years,you haven`t changed at all
But I can`t say you look the same.

I have never been to Zanzibar
I have always thought it was too far

You`re not who you say you are.

I was a,was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn`t fly it home.
Taught how to take off,I don`t know how to land.
They say it doesn`t matter and I just cannot understand.
I was a kamikaze pilot,

They gave me a plane - I couldn`t fly it home.

Left my happy homeland in a Zero,
I got engine trouble so I couldn`t be a hero
(Do you think I care?).
Now I`ll keep my two feet on the ground
`Cos when you`re in the clouds


Everybody tries to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot,

They gave me a plane - I couldn`t fly it home

On an island there ain`t too much to do
Look after number one `cos I think I can see
Lee Marvin chasin`after you.
I was a kamikaze pilot

They gave me a plane - I couldn`t fly it home.

Cherry blossoms falling down.

Once a girl took my love until I couldn't give anymore,
Then I tried to pretend not to see what I couldn't ignore.
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.

I took her to the dance and then I didn't see her all night.
Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside.
When I went out she was alone.


She said, "I would like to go home"
I asked her, "Who were you with?"
She said, "No-one."
I could tell that she lied
(And a voice said inside)
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.
Not at all.
