I Was Once a Man with Money - Tennessee Kid

He is clean, but not too clean His breath fresh, but not too fresh These are the results of a shower without soap And just one pellet of gum He carefully returns his second phone to his refuge beneath the front room floor Gently flattens the rug on top And strips down to his underwear He finds his wallet Filled with the credit cards he hasn't used And lays it on the kitchen counter in its familiar place To be found in the morning by a curious consort Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love It's the curse of fools to be secure We are sportsmen, we are conquerors The day is disease and night the cure He never uses names That's too dangerous He calls them baby and sweet cheeks and hot stuff and darling And he's a master of the feigned surprise A doyen of deception Sometimes he wonders if he could have been on the telly He really is that good Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love It's the curse of fools to be secure We are sportsmen, we are conquerors The day is disease and night the cure He knows the quiet floorboards Knows exactly where to tread Even in this state, his muscle has memory He's a tiptoeing Travolta, a minging Michael Jackson Lighting up the timbers underfoot And as he silently approaches the bedroom door He wonders, as always If maybe he's getting too old for this But, as always, he concludes "Well, Mick Jagger does it And he's older than me"

There once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he slew a dragon for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more And there once was a man who loved a woman She was the one he gave his kingdom for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more My love is a giant, fierce and defiant But how can I prove it to you Ain't got no kingdom, no dragon To back up my braggin' How can I show what I would do I only know there once was a man Who loved a woman She was the one he ate that apple for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he But me, I love you more There once was a woman who loved a man He was the one that she took poison for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more And there once was a woman who loved a man He was the one she swam the channel for They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more My love's meteoric, it's merely historic A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels It rocks the whole solar plexus It's bigger than Texas I just can't tell you how it feels I only know there once was a woman Who loved a man Loved him enough to cause the Trojan war They say that nobody ever loved as much as she But me, I love you more, more, more, more More than a hangman loves his rope More than a dopefiend loves his dope More than an Injun loves his scalps More than a yodeler loves his alps More, more, more, more, more There once was a man There once was a woman Who loved a woman Who loved a man She was the one he slew the dragon for He was the one that she took poison for They say that nobody ever loved as much as he she But me, I love you more But me, I love you more

I don't remember When I was young I don't recall the day When I first saw the sun But what I am certain What is enough is just to remember That once, once I was loved I still surrender The troubles I know No use pretending All the troubles ain't my own But what I am certain What is enough is just to remember That once, once I was loved After the years gone by What amounts to the years in a life What have we come to When we reach our final days If we can surrender And that is enough Just to remember that once Once we were loved Once we were beautiful Once we were loved If we can surrender And that is enough Just to remember that once Once we were loved

Of all us he had to know he'd never grow He'd never climb, he'd never love like the love I know When I was two and he was ten they carried me Through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing "We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off" If gathering is all we need to change the wind For anything to die it needs first to begin Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing "We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off" In time, saw your future is not burning so bright But if we live too long you'll live less like mine We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing "We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off" In time, if human breed hate, love and lies would be traits of mine But I was of the future, past and present time Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two
