Song of the Week

[tinhuviel]

This is from GO BANG!.

NEW MAN
This is a song of greed and vision
He is a man of wealth and pride
He rocks back and forward
Moves from side to side
Polishing little wheels of commerce
Always keeps his flag unfurled
He is a master of disguise
A citizen of the world

Chorus
His unease is getting special
and his time is coming now
Here's our New Man
His unease is getting special
and his time is coming now
Here's our New Man

Holding a mirror up to nature
Nature doesn't seem to care
Holding it under water
Waving it in the air
His experiments are famous
And fit loosely round the facts
Held together with glue and pins
and tape and wax

Chorus
Hammering out a new aesthetic
With his fur and wire and fire
Here's our New Man
Hammering out a new aesthetic
With his fur and wire and fire
Here's our New Man

and you can't hide, you can't hide
it's got now ceilings, it's got glass sides
The Devil's work is what he do
Here's our New Man

He is called the human nest-egg
Or is known as Prince of Leaves
He is hidden now
But you can see the bubbles where he breathes
He has mastered all the hard things
And is difficult to shock
Has a muscle on the bottom
Which attaches him to the rocks

Chorus
It was the Devil made him do it
With his little shining eyes
Here's our New Man
It was the Devil made him do it
With his little shining eyes
Here's our New Man
