Man Of The Earth — текст песни (Stranglers)

The city blues they strike again
Another worker drops his pen
He wants to be done
And out on the run
Away fromhe curse, he`d swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
For 2 or 3 weeks of the year
An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer
He`s out of his head and toasting the dead
And feeling much worse, he`d swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
To swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet
He`d place his life upon it to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth, he`d swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
The wife and kids are already there
They`re polishing his wicker chair it`s looking so bleak
At the end of the week he`ll be needing a nurse
He`d swap all his worth to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth
Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet
He`d place his life upon it to be a man of the earth
A man of the earth, he`d swap all his worth
To be a man of the earth
A man of the earth
