Having My Picture Taken

Bob Geldof, Pete Briquette

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
