Taking Notes and Stealing Quotes on this song

Cover-version

 

Words by
Keith Reid

I’ve been body swerved, close observed
Down the well, kiss and tell
I’ve been lost an’ found, underground
Good as gold, overload

I’ve been crazy glued, baby blued
Off the wall, too close to call
I’ve been Chinese rocks
I’ve been shadow boxed

I’ve been squeezed an’ stroked, okee-doked
Gone an’ went, heaven sent
I’ve been fluffed an’ fussed, cuffed an’ cussed
Show of hands, shadow lands

I’ve been down to the wire, house on fire
Reconditioned, under suspicion
I’ve been Chinese rocks
I’ve been shadow boxed

I’ve been instant karma, Dalai Lama
Living proof, an’ cosmic truth
I’ve been powder kegged, heavy lead
Out of bounds, what’s that sound

I’ve been down to the wire, house on fire
Reconditioned, under suspicion
I’ve been lost an’ found, underground
Good as gold, overload

I’ve been crazy glued, baby blued
Off the wall, too close to call
I’ve been Chinese rocks
I’ve been shadow boxed
