Man Of The Earth Lyrics - Stranglers

The city blues they strike again 

Another worker drops his pen 

He wants to be done 

And out on the run 

Away fromhe curse, he'd swap all his worth 

To be a man of the earth 

For 2 or 3 weeks of the year 

An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer 

He's out of his head and toasting the dead 

And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth 

To be a man of the earth 

To swap all his worth 

To be a man of the earth 

Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet 

He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth 

A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth 

To be a man of the earth 

The wife and kids are already there 

They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak 

At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse 

He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth 

A man of the earth 

Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet 

He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth 

A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth 

To be a man of the earth 

A man of the earth
