GHOSTS — The Jam

Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight Oh - don't live up to your given roles There's more inside you that you won't show

But you keep it hidden just like everyone You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable So you wear that ghost around you for disguise

But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known There's more inside you that you haven't shown

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat Just keep on walking down never ending streets

One day you'll walk right out of this life And then you'll wonder why you didn't try

To spread some loving all around Old fashioned causes like that still stand Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down

How do you feel at the end of the day Just like you've waked over your own grave

So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
