I shouldn't have driven 
You shouldn't have driven - but we got there 
Had a good time, so we left the car 
And the cabby was from a war-zone 
We were glad he was driving us home 
I was gladder of some movement 
You took it on, you took it on board 
I said "Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst" 
If this isn't love it's very close 
Can you hear the world is waking up? 
Can we be crazy for a few more years? 
Have I got them in me? 
Bought myself one of those keyboard axes 
Wanted to get out and dance away from the piano 
That could have been the beginning of the end 
If I wasn't already in the middle 
The crowd was confused - and then they cheered 
My career it was back on track 
I was relieved, full of love for the people 
I said "Thank you, each and every one of you, For loving me at my worst" 
If this isn't love it's very close 
Can you hear the world is waking up? 
Can we be crazy for a few more years? 
Have I got them in me? 
All you bright and middle-aged things 
Attending your sons and daughters 
Spare a thought for me out here with the kids 
To hell with your bricks and mortar 
It's you and me and the 
Holy Ghost 
On the road to dawn heading down the coast 
We're better sorry than safe when you count the cost 
Mmm sorry than safe when you count the cost 
There's a bar out east called 
Scrum Only red wine and the finest of cigars 
And if we leave now we'll still get in 
You can find yourself a young consort 
Writers of unpopular fiction are trying to drink more 
Than bikies who've all left their beards at the door 
You'll drink all the wine and smoke your cigar 
And say "Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst" 
If this isn't love it's very close 
Can you hear the world is waking up? 
Can we be crazy for a few more years? 
Have I got them in me?
