Standard (EADGBE)

Oh my love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile

Like a Polish wanderer I travel 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 defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face

Chorus

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

Chorus
