Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin by Lovely dancers swayin to an island lullaby Beside the southern ocean taking stock of whats to be Writing you this letter that youll probably never see Chorus But I cant help but be Ruled by inconsistencies Not unique just distantly in love Tried to phone from Paris thinking things could be arranged Me and you would rendezvous but I found your number changed So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells Toasted our old photograph still up ther on his shelf Chorus But I cant help but be Ruld by my antiquities Not unique just distantly in love I cant be the one to fill Your times and all your places I cant be the one to fill Your blanks and empty spaces I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay You had a new lover who had stolen you away That could be the reason that I never got in touch May present slight problems if he loves you half as much Chorus As I who cant help but be Ruled by my antiquities Not unique just distantly in love You know I cant help but be Part of my own philosophies Not unique just distantly in love
