Lyrics Beating Mr. Neg - Howard Jones

Seems like I got a companion that's embedded in me
Has an awful lot to say and says it oh so negatively
Wakes me up in the night with a raging fear
Tells me what I can and can't do and makes my thinking unclear

I want to shout about it
But I know that I'll be getting no rest tonight
Until I get to know your cheats and
Learn to love and hate the filthy beast

I can win this time
The boy will do just fine
Trending off the scale
This starship is about to sail

Oh no, my buddy is back with the cynical views
Dines on my beautiful core and only brings me the bad news
Sits on my shoulder and whispers nasty things in my ear
Seems to get stronger as the right destination comes near

I want to scream about it
But I know that I'll be crossing the line tonight
You just don't realize it but all your
Dirty tricks just make me want to fight

I can win this time
The boy will do just fine
Trending off the scale
This starship is about to sail

Beating Mr. Neg
Beating Mr. Neg

I can win this time
The boy will do just fine
Trending off the scale
This starship is about to sail
I can win this time
The boy will do just fine
Trending off the scale
This starship is about to sail

Beating Mr. Neg
Beating Mr. Neg

I can win this time
Starship's about to sail
Nothing gonna stop me now
I can win this time
I can win
This time its off the scale
I'm gonna be on board
I'm gonna be on board, yeah
