lyrics

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT the ghost of Michael Hutchence came into my studio late last night. He said there’s something wrong with your songs, I want to help make it right. I said, "Mike, what’s the problem, man, you know I always write from the heart." He said, "That’s exactly what’s wrong, you’re far too dumb to be singing so smart. You’ve got to go for something right in between. Here, let me show you what I mean." This is how we do it. Floated to Sydney, hopping the pubs where the boys paid their dues, talking about original sins and telling jokes about kangaroos. Sure as I might melt in the sun Michael’s words were heaven sent. I felt like singing those word even though I didn’t know what they meant. So I jumped right up there on the stage, counted it off and I started to play. And I sang this is how we do it.
