[00:39.05]Girl, I the know world's a stage
[00:40.71]That's what the poet said
[00:42.77]But I think our weird relationship
[00:45.88]Is way above my head
[00:47.19]I'll be your Casanova whipping by
[00:49.31]If that's what you desire
[00:51.56]But once I start performing
[00:52.68]I can't easily retire
[00:55.86]I'll swing on a trapeze
[00:57.30]I'll jump through hoops, and I'll eat fire
[01:00.17]Be a human cannon ball
[01:02.60]And walk on the high wire
[01:04.79]Put on make-up, wear a wig
[01:06.47]I'll be your tragic clown
[01:08.67]But once you've got me up there
[01:10.40]I can't easily come down
[01:13.72]Don't drive me over the edge of it
[01:17.45]

[01:28.14]Oh, now I'm over the edge
[01:32.63]
[01:33.19]drive me over the edge of it
[01:36.56]

[01:53.83]Democracy's a shadow of its former glory
[01:58.09]Law and orders broken-down
[02:00.15]End of story
[02:02.96]
[02:11.29]My next door neighbour's totally snapped
[02:12.92]He's gone over the edge
[02:14.91]He's putting up barbed wire barricades
[02:17.16]Around the garden hedge
[02:19.36]And planting land mines on the lawn
[02:21.60]He's gone barmy
[02:23.73]According to his wife, he's formed a secret army
[02:28.41]Ever since he got laid off
[02:30.21]Something inside snapped
[02:30.98]
[02:33.02]His wife says he's gone 'round the twist
[02:34.64]Now there's no turning back
[02:36.51]All night he waits in the garden shed
[02:38.45]For the enemy to attack
[02:40.70]A suburban vigilante
[02:41.45]Dressed up in a union jack
[02:44.64]He's over the oh, edge, over the edge
[02:49.90]
[02:54.40]Don't drive me over the edge of it
[02:58.14]
[03:02.49]Woman, you are gonna drive me
[03:04.55]Totally over the edge
[03:06.55]Is it yes or is it no
[03:08.57]Are you gonna take the pledge
[03:10.81]The pressures of society are getting to your brain
[03:15.18]And forced you to act weird
[03:17.11]And put me under all this strain
[03:19.93]But don't drive me over the edge of it
[03:24.23]Stop while I've still got emotions
[03:27.17]
[03:28.87]Joined the crowd, just to be part of it
[03:32.66]That was the start of it
[03:34.60]Oh, over the edge
[03:39.05]
[03:39.93]Don't drive me over the edge of it
[03:43.16]Oh, over the edge
