Back On My Feet lyrics
(McCartney/MacManus)
How many days does the wet weather lack? I wanna go where the clouds when they roll back Reveal a man in an old mack Living on a park bench Sitting on his own Cut to the rain as it rolls down the glass But then she leaves through the lightning and thunder You see a man going under This is how it happens This is what he said "I don't need love Temptation is sweet Give me your hand Till I'm back on my feet You're always telling me About my misery I'll see things you'll never see Don't pity me" Focus in on the breath of a man Takes a brown paper bag from his knapsack Between his whispers and wisecracks He's looking for the wishing Screaming at the sky [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/elvis_costello/back_on_my_feet.html ] "I don't need love Temptation is sweet Give me your hand Till I'm back on my feet You're always telling me About my misery I'll see things you'll never see Don't pity me" "I'll be fine again, Be all right without you I'll stand up again Kick off the puzzlement, too" Cut back again to a girl walking by To the beat of her old shoes and rolled socks Climb on an invisible soapbox Laughing at the traffic Shouting at the word "I don't need love Temptation is sweet Give me your hand Till I'm back on my feet You're always telling me About my misery I'll see things you'll never see Don't pity me" "I'll be fine again, Be all right without you I'll stand up again Kick off the puzzlement, too" Seeing life through the eyes of a man As he lives and he dies by a simple titan Well there you go, though you trying hard to know When he's there on his legs Sees the kinks where the people all go Things start to fade as he pulls down the shade And the picture made is in glorious cinemascope
