Can’t Help Thinking About Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Question-time that says I brought dishonour
My head's bowed in shame
It seems that I've blackened the family name
Mother says that she can't stand the neighbours' talking
I've gotta pack my bags, leave this home, start walking, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm guilty
I wish that I was sorry this time
I wish that I could pay for my crime
[Chorus]
I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
[Verse 2]
Remember when we used to go to church on Sundays
I lay awake at night, terrified of school on Mondays
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, but it's too late now
I wish I was a child again
I wish I felt secure again
[Chorus]
I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
[Bridge]
As I pass a recreation ground
I remember my friends, always be found
[Chorus]
And I can't, I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
I can't help thinking about me
[Verse 3]
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 you around, come back
If you're this way again"
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh, I'm on my own
I've got a longer way to go
I hope I make it on my own
[Chorus]
I 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
I can't help thinking about me

It’s the first song that I wrote and recorded as a solo artist. It’s a beautiful piece of solipsism […] and it does contain, though some might disagree, two of the worst lines I’ve ever written. I actually have to sin...
