album: Coast To Coast (2005)
album: Peaches (2002)
album: Apollo Revisited (2003)
genre:

Came down on a Monday 
Somewhere in the Midlands 
Tasted man, tasted flea, 
Couldn't tell the difference 

Asked around on Tuesday 
Got nothing from a tree 
The guide had said 
"What talks is red" 
That's all there is to see 

Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world? 
(Please allow me to re-arrange your face sometimes
I'd really like to get to know you better) 
Not me, not me, not me, not me 

Looked around on Wednesday 
Took in all the sights 
The Promised Land they'd left to man 
Been ruined overnight 

Peering through the port-holes 
With teardrops in their eyes 
The ship they took for one last look 
At thursday's setting sun-rise 

Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world? 
(Please allow me to re-arrange your face sometimes
I'd really like to get to know you better) 
Not me, not me, not me, not me 

Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world? 
Who wants the world?
