(Ferry/Manzanera)
|
I am for a life around the corner
|
That takes you by surprise
|
That comes leaves all you need
|
And more besides
|
I am for a life and time by numbers
|
Blast in fast 'n' low
|
Add 'em up, account for luck
|
You never know
|
I am into friendship and plain sailing
|
Through frenzied ports o' call
|
O shake the hand to beat the band
|
With love is all
|
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
|
There's one in every town
|
A crazy guy, he'd rather die
|
Than be tied down
|
I am for the man who drives the hammer
|
To rock you 'til the grave
|
His power drill shocks
|
A million miles away
|
I am for the revolution's coming
|
I don't know where she's been
|
For those who dare because it's there
|
I know I've seen
|
Now and then I've suffered imperfection
|
I've studied marble flaws
|
And faces drawn pale and worn
|
By many tears
|
I am that I am from out of nowhere
|
to fight without a cause
|
Roots strain against the grain
|
With brute force you'd better
|
Hold out when you're in doubt
|
Question what you see
|
And when you find an answer
|
Bring it home to me.
