The Boomtown Rats — Having My Picture Taken

[Intro] "[?], fellas, watch the beardie." [Verse 1] My camera sees things my eyes can't see I have it focused from here to eternity Catch the moment, catch your breath, catch the light Let me freeze your frame Synchronize machine and brain Hey, don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken (Having it taken) [Verse 2] I can choose each day who I want to be And you can choose each day who you want to see We'll pan the rounds and we'll scan the crowd Of all those distant scenes Immortalize a slice of time But don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken [Pre-Chorus] (Flash) Another instant in an instamatic (Click) Another reflex set on automatic (Snap) Another moment of the life dramatic You really should have been there, it was so fantastic (So fantastic, so fantastic) [Chorus] Ooh, having my picture taken Ooh, having my picture taken Ooh, I'm having my picture taken Ooh, having my picture taken (Having it taken) [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] (Flash) Another instant in an instamatic (Click) Another reflex set on automatic (Snap) Another moment of the life dramatic You really should have been there, it was so fantastic (So fantastic, so fantastic) [Chorus] Ooh, I'm having my picture taken Ooh, having my picture taken (Having my picture taken) Ooh, I'm having my picture taken (Having my picture taken) Ooh, having my picture taken (Having my picture taken) [Outro] "Oooh, magic, huh? Best I've ever done."
