Man of the Land |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A wanderer with no clan |
| Can’t live the life my instincts say I oughta |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A devil in demand |
| But love would see me walk across the water |
| I spend my time in bars and cashing cars under the stars |
| I spend my tender times morose |
| You all say you love the sound of breaking glass |
| 'Til the pieces fall too close |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A wanderer with no clan |
| Can’t live the life my instincts say I oughta |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A devil in demand |
| But love would see me walk across the water |
| I spend my days surrounded by these screaming, seething screens |
| I spend my evenings far away |
| All my favourite teenage dreams were movie scenes |
| Cut through my twenties like a blade |
| Cos I only feel like me when I’m where I’ve never been |
| And my waltzer working days have spun away |
| So roll up and test your mettle |
| Where the dust never settles |
| And you never win no matter how you play |
| All the people that I know, in the places that I go |
| Say to me «Why can’t you be more pleasant?» |
| But for all the late night bars, and their euphorias |
| All I ever really wanna feel is present |
| But for all the late night bars, and their euphorias |
| All I ever really wanna feel is present |
| All I ever really wanna feel is present |
| I’m a man on a mission |
| A compelling proposition |
| To adore before this sore world leaves me cold |
| There’s a time I would return to |
| Cos only love can hurt you |
| And love has learned to leave me well alone |
| I’m a man of the land |
| Take my comfort where I can |
| I find it in the flora and the fauna |
| I’m a man of the land |
| Hate is painted on my hands |
| But love is only one look round the corner |
| I’m a man of the land |
| The sirens understand |
| Did they not send the red skies out to warn ya? |
| I’m a man of the land |
| No face tatts or Xans |
| I come from Cally Road not California |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A wanderer with no clan |
| Can’t live the life my instincts say I oughta |
| I’m a man of the land |
| A devil in demand |
| But for love I would walk across the water |
