I Can't Help Myself Songtext
von James Reyne

He stood knee-deep, blood red river
He stood knee-deep, blood red sand
For right or for wrong in his quiver
L′il fool with flag in his hand
He say he got played for a sucker
He say he got played for a fool
Got played like some old cottage piana
Little cock got to crow, little hen-yard to rule

We're all living in a house
On fire
No fire brigade to call
And there′s no way out
As the flames get higher
No way out at all


I need help
I can't help myself
I need help
I'm kinda lost here too
I need help
I can′t help myself
And if I can′t help myself
Can I help you?

He got all wrung and brung down
Out-witted, out-foxed and out-conned
In his 'lil suit all mottled and brown
From dipped in his dung, it was donned
And his dumb nose he′s still thumbin'
As a scum-tide is loosed on the land
This way comes the second comin′
Shufflin' and blind, blinkin′ minotaur man

We're all living in a house
On fire
No fire brigade to call
And there's no way out
As the flames get higher
No way out at all


I need help
I can′t help myself
I need help
I′m kinda lost here too
I need help
I can't help myself
And if I can′t help myself
How can I help you?

I need help
I can't help myself
I need help
I′m kinda lost here too
I need help
I can't help myself
And if I can′t help myself
How can I help you?

I was quite the restaurant Valentino
Rubirosa dug my style
But I blew all my dough at the casino
I had to quit the Valentino game for a while
