[Verse 1]
They say I got the whole joint
On the blink
On a tilt
On a slide
Snapshots on the front page
Circle under both my eyes
Toto gives a sideways look
Half a wag
Then he’s gone
Rent-a-girl calls me “big boss”
Takes the cash
Keeps the crown

[Chorus]
They’ve been searching for my spine and my heart
Torchlight
Headlines
Tearing me apart
But Wongy
Chris and Burky on the line
Say
“Albo
You’re the boss
You’re doing fine”
Yeah they’ve been digging for my spine and my heart
Talkback callers pulling me apart
But Wongy
Chris and Burky every time
Say
“Albo
You’re the boss
You’re doing fine” (doing fine) (doing fine)

[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Speech notes stuck to my shoe
Someone yelling through the radio
Like they really think I’m listening too
Toto chewed up my briefings
Left the good bits on the floor
Mirror says I look tired
Calendar says “one day more”

[Chorus]
They’ve been searching for my spine and my heart
Torchlight
Headlines
Tearing me apart
But Wongy
Chris and Burky on the line
Say
“Albo
You’re the boss
You’re doing fine”
Yeah they’ve been digging for my spine and my heart
Talkback callers pulling me apart
But Wongy
Chris and Burky every time
Say
“Albo
You’re the boss
You’re doing fine” (doing fine) (doing fine)

[Bridge]
Spotlight burns
But the jokes roll on
They all got opinions
But they don’t know the dog
Or the late-night doubts
When the room goes dark
If I ever find that spine and heart
I’ll pin ’em to my jacket
Wear ’em like a badge
Walk back home to Toto
See if he reacts

(doing fine)
(doing fine)
(doing fine)
(doing fine)
(doing fine)
