Roxy Music - Manifesto Lyrics
(ferry/manzanera)I am for a life around the cornerThat takes you by surpriseThat comes leaves all you needAnd more besidesI am for a life and time by numbersBlast in fast ´n´ lowAdd ´em up, account for luckYou never knowI am into friendship and plain sailingThrough frenzied ports o´ callO shake the hand to beat the bandWith love is allOr nothing to the man who wants tomorrowThere´s one in every townA crazy guy, hed rather dieThan be tied downI am for the man who drives the hammerTo rock you til the graveHis power drill shocksA million miles awayI am for the revolution´s comingI don´t know where she´s beenFor those who dare because it´s thereI know i´ve seenNow and then i´ve suffered imperfectionI´ve studied marble flawsAnd faces drawn pale and wornBy many tearsI am that I am from out of nowhereTo fight without a causeRoots strain against the grainWith brute force you´d betterHold out when you´re in doubtQuestion what you seeAnd when you find an answerBring it home to me.
