Manoeuvres (Live at Grugahalle Essen, 18.10.1980)

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
