Many A Good Man Lyrics - The Black League

There's a man in the woods upon that hill 

With a rope in his hands, with a will to kill some time: 

To kill his only thing! 

The thing that kept him moving on 

In a life that was moving towards its end 

From the beginning anyway... 

The day is hot - He's so cold 

He is too young - But feels so old 

And far from being beautiful and bold! 

Help - There ain't none for him 

He's lost and he is done with it forever and for good 

Made up his mind, oh yes! 

Black soul - Blue skies 

Cold sweat and dead inside 

A wrong man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed 

There's a man in the woods upon that hill 

Determined to be doing the right thing 

He's got a mission to fulfill now! 

'Cos everyone's got the right to be a sucker once or twice 

But this here man has lost his count so long a go! 

That same ol' shit from day to day 

What purpose does he have to stay here 

Struggling one more day? 

Well, get away...get away... 

Them flies all buzzing round his neck 

And sweat is running down like hell 

While the sun is shining hotter than in ages! 

Black soul - Blue skies 

Cold sweat and dead inside 

A wrong man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed 

He goes alone... He goes by his own way... 

All alone in this vast land 

Where many a good man failed 

Now there's a man in the woods...just swinging in the rain 

They found him just today... 

And noone seems to know his name or his face... 

Black soul - Blue skies 

Cold sweat and dead inside 

Just a man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed 

They go alone...From cradle to their graves... 

Every day in this vast land 

Where many a good man failed
