Man for All Seasons Songtext
(Difford/tilbrook)
Now the woman wears the trousers
Now my shirts remain uncreased
Now the shoe is on the other foot
Maybe I can feel released
All the pleasure of pleasing you
All the powers of needing you
Now I′m no longer keeping you
So now she's working at the office
And I don′t have a job at all
She keeps me in cigarettes
Once a bat now a ball
All the dinners are burning dear
All the while I'm learning dear
Now I'm no longer earning dear
A man for all seasons
Not now I′m feeling so tired
I′ve got so much upon my plate
Not now was the distant cry
As the latch fell on the gate
A man for all seasons
Now the house is like a garage
Parts of me about the room
I'm building up another me
One that takes a nap at noon
All the parties are thrown for you
All the people are known by you
Now I′m building this home for you
Now the woman wears the trousers
Now my shirts remain uncreased
Now the shoe is on the other foot
Maybe I can feel released
All the pleasure of pleasing you
All the powers of needing you
Now I′m no longer keeping you
So now she's working at the office
And I don′t have a job at all
She keeps me in cigarettes
Once a bat now a ball
All the dinners are burning dear
All the while I'm learning dear
Now I'm no longer earning dear
A man for all seasons
Not now I′m feeling so tired
I′ve got so much upon my plate
Not now was the distant cry
As the latch fell on the gate
A man for all seasons
Now the house is like a garage
Parts of me about the room
I'm building up another me
One that takes a nap at noon
All the parties are thrown for you
All the people are known by you
Now I′m building this home for you
