Having My Picture Taken
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
