Jacob is a car mechanic
Living life at home is funny
He knows a girl but he never got married
Some say, 'He's a cause for concern'

Shaky Jake is always dancing
Kids all call him up when they want some fun
Ten stone but he's getting lighter
Pretty soon he's gonna disappear

Can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?
We can talk all night, one-way conversation

My friend Lucy doesn't like boys
When she wears a cut-down t-shirt
It's like she's saying no, don't ask me
It's a funny thing but no-one ever does

Can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?
We can talk all night, one-way conversations

It's getting easier
Now I know where I'm coming from
It's a heavy feeling
You gotta know what you're in for, before you go

So can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?
We can talk all night, one-way conversation
Then you tell me about your life, I bet you're someone special
We can talk all night, I think we really need to
