Текст песни «Roxy Music - Manifesto»

(ferry/manzanera)

I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise
That comes leaves all you need
And more besides
I am for a life and time by numbers
Blast in fast n low
Add em up, account for luck
You never know
I am into friendship and plain sailing
Through frenzied ports o call
O shake the hand to beat the band
With love is all
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
Theres one in every town
A crazy guy, he'd rather die
Than be tied down
I am for the man who drives the hammer
To rock you 'til the grave
His power drill shocks
A million miles away
I am for the revolutions coming
I dont know where shes been
For those who dare because its there
I know ive seen
Now and then ive suffered imperfection
Ive studied marble flaws
And faces drawn pale and worn
By many tears
I am that I am from out of nowhere
To fight without a cause
Roots strain against the grain
With brute force youd better
Hold out when youre in doubt
Question what you see
And when you find an answer
Bring it home to me.
