Billy Bragg Fear Is A Mans Best Friend
Standing, waiting for a man to show
Wide eyed, one eye fixed on the floor
This waiting's killing me
It's getting me down
Day in, day out
My feet are wearing holes in the ground
Darkness warmer than bedroom floor
Want some to hold me close (where the more?)
I'm a sleeping dog
But you can't tell
When I'm on the prowl
You better run like hell
Yeah, that makes sense
Don't think too much about it
Life and death
The things we only do when we're bored
Say fear is a man's best friend
If you add up it brings you down
Homeless living like a man on the run
Days leading nowhere where to my son?
We're already dead
Not yet in the ground
Grab ahold of my shaking hand
And I will show you around
Yeah, that makes sense
Don't think too much about it
Life and death
The things we only do when we're bored
Say fear is a man's best friend
If you add up it brings you down
