Having My Picture Taken Lyrics - The Fine Art Of Surfacing - Boomtown Rats

Hold up Phillis 

Watch the beauty 

My camera sees things my eyes can't see 

I have it focused from here to eternity 

Catch the moment, catch the breath 

Catch the light and let me freeze your frame 

Synchronize machine and brain 

Hey, don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken 

(Having it taken) 

I can choose each day who I want to be 

You can choose each day who you want to see 

We pan the rounds and scan the crowds of all those distant scenes Immortalize a slice of time 

Hey don't mind me, I'm having my picture taken 

(Having it taken) 

(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) 

Oh, having my picture taken 

Oh, having my picture taken 

Oh, I'm having my picture taken 

Oh, having my picture taken 

I'm having it taken 

(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) 

Oh, I'm having my picture taken 

Oh, having my picture taken 

(Having my picture taken) 

Oh, I'm having my picture taken 

(Having my picture taken 

Having my picture taken) 

Oh, having my picture taken 

(Having my picture taken 

Having my picture taken) 

I'm having that picture taken, yeah 

Oh magic [Incomprehensible] 

Best I've ever done
