Not My Kind

Inside this city, on this empty train Hoping that the late night never lets me go I travel to the station, to the underground Where the dark is a friend to me We race along the subways He's a cold hand on my shoulder He has a plan to get you nowhere And the wind is a friend to me We're singing on the sidewalk With the gay boys in the back street There's a new band and a new beat Well, I remember every now and then Some of the places that we used to go But, baby, tonight I'm drunk and I don't care And the dark is a friend to me We race along the subways With the gay boys in a back street There's a new gang and a new beat Now it all comes back to me We're singing on the sidewalk There's a cold hand on my shoulder Another plan will get you nowhere Now it all comes back to me You look so stranded, are you all alone? I wish there was something more that I could say You may be someone that I used to know Now that's a memory, that was yesterday So take a hold now Don't ever let love go Don't give it up now Don't ever let them know You shake me, babe You shake me, babe You give it up so fine You shake so fine They turn their faces and they hide their eyes They don't want to understand; they tell you love is a lie There's a man on the corner screaming at the street "Don't let it get you" Who are these people Every one of them green All acting like they're friends of mine? They haven't got a reason, man They got no rhyme I don't want to stay here This is wasting my time She's just another girl He's just another boy, and they're Not my kind --- Not My Kind - Icehouse
