Over My Head Lyrics - Singles - Robert Calvert

She was talking about the world situation 

She was sitting on a coffee-bar stool 

I heard her say something clever 'bout inflation 

And the Ayatollah's rule 

It was over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, 

Her eyes were plastered with a lot of mascara 

And her hair was cut by Vidal 

I was wondering how I was going to score her 

A real live intellectual 

And then she started talking bout a new production 

Of Dostoyevsky in drag 

The way her mouth moved was pure seduction 

When she said she'd written it up in a mag 

It was over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, 

Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of thinking 

Getting plugged into silicon chips 

All I could think about was lateral linking 

And I just watched her Mary Quant lips 

Talking over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, 

She asked me was I ever into Fellini 

And what did I think of Godard 

I tried to imagine her in a bikini 

And didn't find it was hard 

She said have you seen that Fritz Lang movie 

Where the hero loses his soul? 

I said I didn't think that sounded too groovy 

I'm more into rock and roll 

She was over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, over my head 

Over my head, 

Over my head, 

Over my head,
