Michael Caine lyrics
by Madness



(Smyth/Woodgate)(I am Michael Caine)He's walking where I'm afraid I don't knowI see the firemen jumping from the windowsThere's panic and I hear somebody scream(aaaah)He picks up useless paperAnd puts it in my pocketI'm trying very hard to keep my fingers cleanI can't remember tell me what's his name(My name is Michael Caine)And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at homeAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keepThe sun is laughing its another broken morningI see a shadow and call out to try and warn himHe didn't seem to hearJust turned awayThe quiet fellow follows and points his fingersStraight at youHe had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away(I am Michael Caine)And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at homeAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keepHis days are numbered he walks round and round in circlesThere is no place he can ever call his ownHe seems to jump at the sound of the phoneStaring out the window there's nothing he can now doAll he wanted was to remain saneHe can't remember his own name(My name is Michael Caine)And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at homeAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keepAnd all I wanted was a word or photographAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keepAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at homeAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keepAnd all I wanted was a word or photographAnd all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep...> From the LP 'Keep Moving' (1984)
