COMMUNICATION

David McCallum (with Female Chorus) - 1966



(How can we get through to him?)

SPOKEN:
Who am I? Where am I going?
With no time to spare as a man rowing from a shoreless lake
Never slowing the pace, but never spying land
I am as most people, I suppose, lost, not knowing why
But I need to know

(We need your love the whole day through)
(We need your love the whole night too)
(But how can we get through to you)
(Help us to stop, stop feeling blue)
(Communication, yes, yes, communication)
(Please help us get through to you)

SPOKEN:
I know, I'll go and see what men have done before me, in the past
In case there's one who wrote or drew or painted, perhaps in fun
A moment of his life that gave him pause

Who knows, the answer may lie in the heat of the Sun

(1st Female Voice: I saw him with Mylene at the movies)
(2nd Female Voice: I saw him with Pat at the store. Pat's a blond)
(3rd Female Voice: I'm a blond. Can I get a date with him? Do you
really think I could?)
(Hoo-hah-hoo-hoo-hoo-huh/Giggling voices)
(We need your love the whole day through)
(We need your love the whole night too)
(But how do we get through to you)
(Help us to stop, stop feeling blue)
(Communication, yes, yes, communication)
(Please help us get through to you)

SPOKEN:
I must find myself before it's too late
In life or death, in love or hate
In peace and war, or through the gates of Hell
If that's the way to seek my fate
And then, and only then could you get through to me
And then, if all is well, we'd make a date
But not now, you see I really have to go
So would you girls mind stepping off my motorcycle
