Lyrics[]
"KICK START" - his overdue life as a star
waiting tables hadn't done that so far
"SPOTLIGHT" - a dream for many a year
the leather jacket, Jimmy's ever ready stage wear
sorry I'm not your cup o'tea
but I don't mind
Yeah, I said I don't mind
at least I know you're thinking about me
yeah, I don't mind
yeah, I said I don't mind
"GOOD STUFF, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY HEAR!"
Mumbled something 'bout "PEARLS IN A PIG'S EAR"
"OLD SCHOOL" thirty two and knowing it all
who wants to listen to a single-sided phone call?
sorry I'm not your cup o'tea
but I don't mind
yeah, I said I don't mind
at least I know you're thinking about me
yeah, I don't mind
yeah, I said I don't mind
bring it all into perspective
the tongue will steer the ship ahoy
spark up a flame
feel the pain of habañero sauce
a word's forever
when we speak we set 'em free
so watch your mouth
and you be careful what you say, Jimmy
sorry I'm not your cup o'tea
but I don't mind
yeah, I said I don't mind
at least I know you're thinking about me
yeah, I don't mind
ahh, maybe I do mind
Lyrics: Peter Furler, Philipp Urry / Music: Peter Furler
