Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The good die younger
The good die younger
[Verse 2]
I am Michael Caine
He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear some body scream
[Verse 3]
He picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name
My name is Michael Caine
[Verse 4]
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
[Verse 5]
The sun is laughing it's another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear, just turned away
[Verse 6]
The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride, yes throw it all away
[Verse 7]
I am Michael Caine
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
[Verse 8]
His days are numbered he walks 'round and 'round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone
[Verse 9]
Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remember his own name
My name is Michael Caine
[Verse 10]
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
[Verse 11]
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
