The Man's Machine Lyrics & Tabs by Jamie T
The Man's Machine
guitar chords lyrics
This song is one of our first songs off the new album.
It's about punks, skins, straights.
I was walking along the street
Minding my own affair
Suddenly two policemen grabbed me
And I wasn't aware.
They said, "Is your name Matey?"
I said, "Why sure".
He says, "You're the punk
That I've been waiting for.
You're nicked"
Better the devil you know
Confess I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board,
Confess I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board,
Now Im chairman of the board
Im coming back for sequels
Do you ever really think you
Nothing on this far-gone son
All these people
Theyre laughing at the shit Ive done
Ive sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze and took it back home in a trunk
Met a matador who said its my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a sail set a rail
Met them Kings and Queens
Theres so many trust
Just the amphetamines
Well her dream wouldve been
That the boys got clean
That her father never got his heart
Caught up in the mans machine
Well it seems even if I got away
Theres always a part of me willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All weve got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All weve got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day thingsll get better
Check, check, check, check
1, 2, 3, kick
I met gods and monsters
Women from Wisconsin
Swimming in linen
With another
Thats not their partner
Chicago be selfish drum
On my journey
I met Ernie
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
Im a lover, Im a brother, my son
Im a traitor and Im on the run
Watch em come
As she said
While she driving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
Shes been smacking hard shoulders
Since before shes legal
Im a dragnet
Right on through the city of sin
Its the hard done bastards
Taking it in
Well I see what I say
Save it on the way
They cant sit bawling
But theyre bawling away
Well she cries all her tears
But with all of her fears
Well she run away
She had a place
Now all they ever see is the fears
Take it as shes seen it
Get away
Well theres always a part of us
Willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All weve got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day thingsll get better
So run, run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have alsove told her
I was cannon fodder
Wouldve if I couldve screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I couldve saved the girl from the
Mans Machine
Run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have alsove told her
I was cannon fodder
Wouldve if I couldve screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I couldve saved the girl from the
Mans Machine
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All weve got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All weve got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day thingsll get better
