Lyrics - 

[Chorus]
I'm the third wheel spinning 'round
Lost but found
Yeah lost but found
In a crowd of five
I’m half alive
A puzzle piece that don’t quite jive
Oh I’m the third wheel
Baby
I’m the third wheel

[Verse]
When Bill and Alice partnered up, I was the third wheel in a group of five, patrolling round the grounds at break time, talking rock and roll, but they were very kind to me, and I never got the feeling they were pushing me out.

[Chorus]
I'm the third wheel spinning 'round
Lost but found
Yeah lost but found
In a crowd of five
I’m half alive
A puzzle piece that don’t quite jive
Oh I’m the third wheel
Baby
I’m the third wheel

[Verse 2]
One night Bill took me and a friend out into the bush in the Kombi.  We all drank way too much rum, then he said let's have some fun, and he reached over the back of the seat and pulled out a rifle.  Claiming to set up for some 'target practice', with the engine off, he turned on the headlights and we all stepped outside.

[Chorus]
I'm the third wheel spinning 'round
Lost but found
Yeah lost but found
In a crowd of five
I’m half alive
A puzzle piece that don’t quite jive
Oh I’m the third wheel
Baby
I’m the third wheel

[Bridge]
If love’s a tandem bike
Then I’m the kickstand left to hike
I’ll hold you steady
I’m always ready
But I’m not part of the ride
No
I’m not part of the ride

[Verse 3]
After a few shots Bill went off for a piss, so we just stood by the front of the Kombi waiting for him to come back.  I found out that night how you can tell when someone is shooting at you: you hear what the bullets hit BEFORE you hear the gunshot.  Bill was somewhere out in the darkness shooting at the headlights of his own car: ponngg BANG, pinggg BANG.  He came back laughing at our fear, and I never fully trusted him after that. 

[Prechorus]
As a third wheel 
I’m not bitter
Not at all
Just a spare part at the ball

[Chorus]
I'm the third wheel spinning 'round
Lost but found
Yeah lost but found
In a crowd of five
I’m half alive
A puzzle piece that don’t quite jive
Oh I’m the third wheel
Baby
I’m the third wheel
