The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressman's by the bar
And all the world is at your door
It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for
Chrous:
You can turn your face away now
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
Until the devils make a ???
And my future's in the strangled oath of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
To paralise my soul
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand
Before I go
(chorus)
Promise me you'll try to understand
Before I go
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
(repeat to fade)
