Paul Kelly - Dumb Things Lyrics
Welcome, strangers, to the showI'm the one who should be lying lowSaw the knives out, turned my backHeard the train coming, stayed out on the trackIn the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dreamI lost my shirt, I pawned my ringsI've done all the dumb thingsCaught the fever, heard the tuneThought I loved her, hung my heart on the moonStarted howling, made no senseThought my friends would rush to my defenceIn the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dreamI lost my shirt, I pawned my ringsI've done all the dumb thingsAnd I get all your good adviceIt doesn't stop me from going through these things twiceI see the knives out, I turn my backI hear the train coming, I stay right on that trackIn the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dreamI lost my shirt, I pawned my ringsI've done all the dumb thingsI melted wax to fix my wingsI've done all the dumb thingsI threw my hat into the ringI've done all the dumb thingsI thought that I just had to singI've done all the dumb things
