Are You Lookin' At Me?

Lyrics

Well I loved the Lone Ranger and I loved that Dennis Law
 Him and George Best, sure knew how a kick a ball
 I wanted tae be a cowboy, and learn a crack a whip
 Stand up in that lonely street, two six guns on my hip
 Along the mighty Beatles came, and everyone went ahhh
 They could play and sing and everything, and of course that John could draw
 Well that was it for me, I never once looked back
 Tricks to learn, waves to catch, had a plan of attack
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me, pal?
 Then we headed south, where the surf came crashing in
 From black and white to colour, from innocence to sin
 It was summer in December, blowing heatwaves in my mind
 People talking funny, some cruel and some were kind
 From the crackle of the cane, to the frown of a big black snake
 From the breakers at Bondi, down to Wallaga Lake
 From the sound of a million fly screen doors, closing on the past
 Like that chimney the fires couldn't burn, I was built to last
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me, pal?
 When I flew across the ocean, I was number one
 People gave me everything, and I didn't need a gun
 Walking down that avenue, I never felt so alive
 People calling out my name, and i'd only just arrived
 It was a tight rope walking bagpiper, in the middle of Central Park
 Steam was rising from the ground, and I wore my cape out after dark
 I had myself a moment, my day out in the sun
 It's an unfinished story, but it's more than just begun
 And I know more than one thing, but not more than two or three
 An I'll tell you if you'll listen, and I'll tell you for free
 It's no life being a cowboy, and eating all them beans
 The coffee's cold, the herd is gone, and all you've got's your dreams
 You can always put your spurs back on, but save them for Halloween
 You're better off heading north, or somewhere you've never been
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 Are you lookin' at me?
 I said, are you lookin' at me, pal?
