The Man icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the Wonderful Wonderful LP by The Killers icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don’t give a damn
They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown
Nothing can break me down

Don’t need no advice
I got a plan
I know the direction, the lay of the land
I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don’t give a damn

I’m the man
Come round
Nothing can break me down
I’m the man, come round
Nothing can break—you can’t break me down

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I got a household name
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man

When it comes to Friday, I always earn
Don’t try to teach me, I got nothing to learn
Because baby I’m gifted, you see what I mean?
USDA certified lean

I’m the man, come round
Nothing can break—you can’t break me down

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I don’t feel no pain
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man

Who’s the man?
I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
Headed to the hall of fame
I got news for you baby: you’re looking at the man

Right hand to God
First in command
My testimony when I take the stand:

Who’s the man?
I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

I don’t give a damn

And I Wept for the Wild and Dirty World

Unicorns icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 feat. Martin Simpson (track 10 from the A Cut Above LP by June Tabor icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

We were traveling north to sing and play to friends that we had never met
Been working hard and didn’t speak, the skies were grey and threatened wet
And I dreamed that I saw unicorns, dreamed I saw them wild and white
Their restless beauty lit the world like a star will light a winter’s night

Pure as love with manes of milk, they danced and pranced and cried aloud
Bright as rainbows around the stars
Their eyes were soft and sad and proud

And I wept for the wild and dirty world to which this beauty now was lost
And cursed the hungry mind of man that feeds the future at such cost
My head was bowed, my eyes were closed when in my ears their voices rang
These few words lodged deep inside in my very soul they sang:

We never went away
You always knew that we were near
Remember how to look for us
You will find we were always here

And I raised my eyes to seek them out but the world was empty all around
The rain came tumbling from the sky, it drowned all dreams upon the ground
And when they asked me why I wept like one who for his dead love mourns
The only answer I could give: I dreamed that there were unicorns

We never went away
You always knew that we were near
Remember how to look for us
You’ll find we were always here

You Overthink, Always Speak Cryptically

Hot N Cold icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 07 from the One of the Boys LP by Katy Perry icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
You PMS like a bitch, I would know
You overthink, always speak cryptically
I should know that you’re no good for me

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

We used to be just like twins so in sync
The same energy now is a dead battery
Used to laugh about nothing now you’re plain boring
I should know that you’re not gonna change

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can’t get off this ride

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
