[Verse 1]
Don't want to listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding a ling or talk about a thing
Not this morning
[Verse 2]
I don't want to think about the night before
Or maybe it's a bore behind that open door
Got no time for that this morning
[Verse 3]
If I had the mind or I had the time
Maybe I could throw together a new kind of rhyme
And tell about my warning
[Verse 4]
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now
[Verse 5]
I don't want to think about a runaway dad
That took away the only thing that I ever had
Don't even miss him this morning
[Verse 6]
I don't want to think about a cold goodbye
Or a high school buddy got a little too high
I can't help him out this morning
[Verse 7]
Reviewers laugh at me so I go out and see
And perhaps it's just as well cause I'd rather be in hell
Than be a wealthy man this morning
[Verse 8]
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now
[Verse 9]
Whatever happened to images? 'Cause now they're gone
And worn out phrases just keep a hanging on
Whatever happened to homes as opposed to houses
The conversation, sayings as the evening drowses
It's just like 4-6-2-0-1
It's just like 4-6-2-0-1
[Verse 10]
Whatever happened to early morning urban skies?
And broken faces, half with melting eyes
Enough of riddles that just play with time
'Cause I'm still here and I can't beg a dime
I'm back here in 4-6-2-0-1
I'm back here in 4-6-2-0-1
[Verse 11]
Some bed is waiting for me around the corner now
I gotta find it and try and hang on for a little while
Back here in 4-6-2-0-1, yeah
Mmm, there's gotta be a few small changes made
[Verse 12]
Don't want to listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding a ling or talk about a thing
Leave me alone this morning
[Verse 13]
The Canadian invasion
It starts where England's left off
[Verse 14]
These eyes
Cry every night
For you
[Verse 15]
The Canadian invasion
It starts with the first big group to break out of Canada
The Guess Who
It starts with the first big song to break out of Canada
These Eyes
[Verse 16]
These eyes
Watched you bring my world
To an end
[Verse 17]
It starts with the first big album to break out of Canada
Wheat Field Soul
Wheat Field Souls
Featuring one of the big new hits of '69
These Eyes
[Verse 18]
These eyes
Are crying
[Verse 19]
It starts the Canadian invasion
And the Canadian invasion starts where England's left off
Dig it on RCA records and stereo 8 cartridge tape
