Lyrics

Just take a look at me, I’ve got not one iota People shout abuse at me from their passing motors If I was dying of thirst no-one would give me water If they were ever starving I’d be lamb to the slaughter. I’m just a no-man in this white ridden land I could have pulled the strings but now i’m hanging from a strand Success was my aim, but to fate I was just a game And now I’ve been knocked down To a survivor in no-man’s land. Just take a look at me, does my shaded colour provoke ya? I felt like a king in a card pack of jokers I tried to live my life, was a pub man, drinking smoker But had wealth and intellect which was thrown on the fire like a red hot poker. I’m just a no-man in this white ridden land I could have pulled the strings but now i’m hanging from a strand Success was my aim, but to fate I was just a game And now I’ve been knocked down To a survivor in no-man’s land. “When you see me on the road does it make you feel guilty To see me with nothing but my own company? To think how it could’ve been - for me to be somewhere, doing what I know, Using my abilities But now I feel disabled, crippled and stripped of everything.” I’m just a no-man in this white ridden land I could have pulled the strings but now i’m hanging from a strand Success was my aim, but to fate I was just a game And now I’ve been knocked down To a survivor in no-man’s land. Just take a look at me, I’ve got not one iota People shout abuse at me from their passing motors If I was dying of thirst no-one would give me water If they were ever starving I’d be lamb to the slaughter. I’m just a no-man in this white ridden land I could have pulled the strings but now i’m hanging from a strand Success was my aim, but to fate I was just a game And now I’ve been knocked down To a survivor in no-man’s land. Just take a look at me, does my shaded colour provoke ya? I felt like a king in a card pack of jokers I tried to live my life, was a pub man, drinking smoker But had wealth and intellect which was thrown on the fire like a red hot poker. I’m just a no-man in this white ridden land I could have pulled the strings but now i’m hanging from a strand Success was my aim, but to fate I was just a game And now I’ve been knocked down To a survivor in no-man’s land. “When you see me on the road does it make you feel guilty To see me with nothing but my own company?
