lyrics

Man About Town – (Goldfish Smarts)
VERSE ONE
Runnin’ like he’s leavin’ a crime scene
Breathin’ like he almost drowned
Sweatin’ like a mule through customs
But stylin’ like the man about town
He’s read everything by Dostoyevsky
He doesn’t own a mobile phone
If you want him, you’ll just have to find him
But he’d rather be left alone
CHORUS
The man about town
The man about town
The man about town
The man about town.
VERSE TWO
Never seen twice in the same outfit
But always in the same pair of jeans
Lives between here and a faraway place
No one knows where he’s been
CHORUS x2
BRIDGE
You’ll see him playin’ chess with the homeless in the park
You’ll see him in the clubs with the cats after dark
You take him by surprise when you look him in the eyes
He will take into account cos he’s in no doubt
It’s a luxury you get when you’re born blue and wet
Rudimental circumstance moving through the south of France
You would have thought he was some super machine
Running’ through the night upholding a dream
SOLO (Harp)
The man about town
The man about town
The man about town
SOLO (Guitar)
It’s a luxury you get when you’re born Blue and wet
Rudimental circumstance moving through the south of France
You would have thought he was some sup sonic machine
Running’ through the night upholding a dream
CHORUS
