Has anyone the lyrics for the lesser-known, but absolutely boppy song by the Go-Betweens "Doo-wop in "A" (Bam Boom)? It was one of only two songs not written entirely by Robert Forster and Grant McClennan; it was penned by Forster, McClennan, Lindy Morrison and Amanda Brown, with Robert Vickers trying out the upright double bass (well, that's what it sounds like). If anyone knows the song, could they please send me the lyrics? It's one of my favourite Go-Betweens songs! Thanks very much.

Oh I forgot to post the lyrics for the 2nd song. Here they are:

I was a lonely girl, I lived in libraries
I wished that things would soon be going right for me
I practiced kissing on a bathroom mirror
And every night I wished to the stars above
That a boy would come along who I could love
Oh baby

/Chorus/
Just got over, just got over loving him /x2/

You rang me up to ask me to the club
We talked till light
And then you go and lose your bike
But when it comes to going home
You always leave me all alone

/Chorus/

Now he's back
But when it comes to going home
You always leave me all alone

/Chorus/

I was just thinking of this song yesterday, while listening to it. I could never make out that line after 'you rang me up to ask me to the club'. Thank you. :-)
