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 |
