Lyrics

Oh my love, Janine  
I'm helpless for your smile  
Like a Polish wander  
I travel ever onwards to your land  
And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand  
  
Your strange demand  
To collocate my mind  
Scares me into gloom  
You're too intense  
I'll have to keep you in your place  
I've no defense  
I've got to keep my veil on my face  
  
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well  
But I've got things inside my head  
That even I can't face  
  
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls  
But if you take an axe to me  
You'll kill another man  
Not me at all  
  
You're fey, Janine  
A tripper to the last  
But if I catch you standing on my toes  
I'll have a right to shout you down  
For you're a lazy stream  
In which my thoughts would drown  
  
So stay, Janine  
And we can glide along  
I've caught your wings for laughs  
I'm not obliged to read you statements of the year  
So take your glasses off  
And don't act so sincere  
  
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well  
But I've got things inside my head  
That even I can't face  
  
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls  
But if you take an axe to me  
You'll kill another man  
Not me at all  
Yeah  
Oh ah  
Ooooo  
Oh Janine  
Hey Janine  
Oh Janine  
Ah ho  
Oh Janine  
Ho how  
Janine  
Ah Janine yeah  
Janine Janine Janine  
Yeah yeah
