All Men Are Hungry Lyrics - Steve Harley

Was in the early evening and the sun was punching into my head 

Outside a stockholm cafe at the river's edge we sat and smiled 

We said how rich we were and how warm we felt with a cognac heart 

Talked over women in a lonely voice and began to jive 

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time 

Was in a scene from "death in the afternoon" when I almost cried 

I realized papa wanted me to live in his bull ring life 

It made me hungry for peace and it made me wild and tore my heart 

It didn't help to wipe away the fears like he often claimed 

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time 

Was in a frenzy from the midnight air when I saw the light 

I realized only children can live upon a timeless flight 

It made me hungry for youth and it made me sad and made me laugh 

To think that as we live and learn we only follow god's path 

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time 

All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time
