CAN'T STOP (Joey Molland)
[from Basil (demos old and new) CD - recorded 1984 - released U.S. 1998]

I heard some people talking
They said the end was near
"The end of what?" I asked them
They weren't exactly clear

Said they'd had a vision
Came to them late one night
Gave them mystic powers
Made them feel alright

And they found themselves thinking about it every now and then
Eh they can't stop, just can't stop, ooh can't stop, can't stop

I look into the mirror
They said the truth was there
It's a liitle clearer
Each passing year

And I found myself thinking about it every now and then
Yeah can't stop, just can't stop, ooh can't stop, just can't stop

And though we're thinking about it
We're really not to blame
And though we're talking about it
Really not the same

And so we go 'round and 'round
It really isn't the same
And while they're thinking about it
They're doing it just the same

[guitar solo]

Found myself thinking about it every now and then
Find themselves thinking about it way back when
Can't stop, just can't stop, just can't stop, can't stop
Yeah can't stop, just can't stop, can't stop

Just can't...
