A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours lyrics

Hello

I am the ghost of troubled Joe

Hung by his pretty white neck

Some eighteen months ago

I travelled to a mystical time zone

But I missed my bed

So I soon came home

They said,

‘There's too much caffeine

In your blood stream

And a lack of real spice

In your life.’

I said,

‘Leave me alone because I'm alright, dad

Just surprised to still be on my own…’

Oh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the strain of the pain again

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 leave

Oh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again

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

Oh, but don't mention love

No, just don't mention love!

A rush and a push and the land

That we stand on is ours

Your youth may be gone

But you're still a yound man

So phone me, phone me, phone me

So phone me, phone me, phone me

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love
