Manoeuvres (Live at Grugahalle Essen, 18.10.1980) Lyrics
Manoeuvres - Graham Parker
You let me in and I'll help you win
This chance must be heaven sent
You buy the time I sold you all mine
No-one knows the d j 's bent
I don't care if someone gets hurt
When I lose it feels like dirt
Other records they get played
Kick some heads in you get paid
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Baby don't ever make me wait fools and angels hesitate
My whole life is one more move too late
Here comes a man you just got to meet
Shake his hand and kiss his feet
He claims the time is coming soon
The first pop music on the moon
The agent of the devil's a hip shakin fool
If he don't like you that ain't cool
He's left already that's ok
We don't need him anyway
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Baby don't ever don't make me wait fools and angels hesitate
My whole life is one more move too late
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Downtown l a madam wong's
Someone puts a tape on a couple of songs
Advertising the place next door
Madam finds out she'll sure gets sure
Out come the coolies swinging their lead
Get those rockers take their heads
Those poor souls must pay the price
They wind up in tomorrow's fried rice
Man - oeu - vres man - oeu - vres
Baby don't ever don't make me wait fools and angels hesitate
My whole life is one more move too late
Man - oeu - vres
Baby don't ever don't make me wait fools and angels hesitate
My whole life is one more move too late
Too late
Too late
Yes it's all too late
I aways too late
Yeah yeah it must too late
You all too late
Yeah you all too late
You all too late
