How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone?
How many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times have you called my name?
Knock at the door, but you couldn't get in

I know I've been careless

I've been wrapped up in a shell
Nothing could get through to me
Acted like I didn't know
I had friends and family
I saw worry in their eyes
Didn't look like fear to me

I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this

I'm in exile, cross the line
Like the hands of a clock that has stopped in time
Your feelings are paid, no never mind
Yeah, it's true man, I lost my tenderness
Oh, how insensitive it must have seemed
Like a black hole had swallowed me
Like a black dog had followed me home
I've been down so now you know

Like a mixture in a bottle
Like a frozen over lake
Like a long time painted smile
I got so hard I had to crack
You were there, you held the line
You're the one that brought me back

I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this

How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone?
How many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times have you called my name?
Knock at the door, but you couldn't get in
How many stars in the Milky Way?
How many ways can you lose a friend?

I know I've been careless
Careless, I've been careless
I've been careless
I've been

Thanks very much
Ah, this next one is, ah, I figured since
We're in Melbourne I had to rep my hometown
And, uh, it's, uh, it's a song called, uh, "Sydney from a 727"
And we're gonna send this one out to Kevin Sheedy tonight
Haha
