Intro:
Verse 1:
I'm counting on you,
To count my blessings.
I'm countin' on you,
To count the fingers on my hands.
That's the amount of time I've got.
I'll always feel drowned, I'll always be around,
I'll always feel drowned, I'll always be around.
Chorus 1:
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
Verse 2:
'Message, the airwaves,
One saved, one alive.
New message hits my brain,
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm somebody today.
There's a great deal of fear inside,
That I'm right in my conclusions.
A great deal of pain inside,
And I'm supposed to be alright?
Chorus 2:
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
Verse 3:
Down on the street,
To search for feel.
The people on the street they make me real,
So I'm counting on you.
To count my blessings,
I'm countin' on you.
To count the fingers on my hand.
That's the amount of time I've got.
I'll always feel drowned, I'll always be around,
I'll always feel drowned, I'll always be around.
Chorus 3:
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
Chorus 4:
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).
And now they want to crown me,
(For the Ghost of ...the year).

Notes.
1. This song has an almost New Order like roll not unlike 'Regret', which it preceded by
four years.
2. The lyrics are almost, a self fulfilling prophecy.
3. "Then Hutchence (vocals', co writing, co production) made an album, billed as 'Max
Q', with Olsen. Their joint approach gives 'Max Q' a bit of a 'Midnight Oil' feel, with
more politics and a rougher rock sound than 'INXS'. The use of synthesizers and strings
keeps 'Max Q' from being exactly earthy, but the record's got a certain energy and
forthrightness that makes it an intriguing superstar aside."
