Letra de 'The Man's Machine' de Jamie T

This song is one of our first songs off the new album. It's about punks, skins, straights.
I was walking along the street
Minding my own affair
Suddenly two policemen grabbed me
And I wasn't aware.
They said, "Is your name Matey?"
I said, "Why sure".
He says, "You're the punk
That I've been waiting for.
You're nicked"

Better the devil you know
Confess I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board,
Now I'm chairman of the board
I'm coming back for sequels
Do you ever really think you've won?
Now you're feeble
Nothing on this far-gone son
All these people
They're laughing at the shit I've done
I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze and took it back home in a trunk
Met a matador who said it's my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a sail set a rail
Met them Kings and Queens
There's so many trust
Just the amphetamines
Well her dream would've been
That the boy's got clean
That her father never got his heart
Caught up in the man's machine
Well it seems even if I got away
There's always a part of me willing to stay

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better

Check, check, check, check
1, 2, 3, kick

I met gods and monsters
Women from Wisconsin
Swimming in linen
With another
That's not their partner
Chicago be selfish drum
On my journey
I met Ernie
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run
Watch 'em come
As she said
While she driving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
She's been smacking hard shoulders
Since before she's legal
I'm a dragnet
Right on through the city of sin
It's the hard done bastards
Taking it in
Well I see what I say
Save it on the way
They can't sit bawling
But they're bawling away
Well she cries all her tears
But with all of her fears
Well she run away
She had a place
Now all they ever see is the fears
Take it as she's seen it
Get away
Well there's always a part of us
Willing to stay

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better

So run, run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine

Run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
