I Can’t Get Started Lyrics by Daevid Allen

Eat Me Baby I’m a Jelly Bean

0

[Verse 1]
I've been round and round the world
In a jet
I've hung out with Richard Gere
In Tibet, believe me
[Refrain]
Tajikistan I've chartered
But still I can't get started
With you
What am I gonna do?
[Verse 2]
On the golf course
I'm way under par
I roam the streets in my brand new
XK Jaguar
[Refrain]
Still I'm broken-hearted
'Cause I can't get started
With you
[Bridge]
You're so serene
Sweet words I'd sing to you
Dreamin'
Dreams that begin with you
Schemin', ha ha
Schemes that would bring you
To me
Yeah, but what good would that do?
[Verse 3]
Mike Tyson taught me
His favourite punch
I'vе had Bridget Fonda, oh, she was yummy
To lunch
[Refrain]
Even so, I'm brokеn-hearted
'Cause I can't get started
With you
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
When we first met
How you excited me
Yet
You hardly noticed me
Shit, baby
My self esteem is so flat
So tell me now, come on
Tell me, what should I do?
[Verse 4]
In the 1980s, I had millions
To burn
But just lately, I just drop ecstasy
And I yearn for you babe, oh
[Refrain]
I got a house, a showplace
Still I can't get no place
With you
I just can't get started
With you
