Man of the Hour Songtext
von John Farnham

The ice is melting in my glass
There′s a storm out on the ocean
A picture in a golden frame
Lying cracked and broken
If you lined up all the losers
And stood them in my shoes
They'd put me on a pedestal
And crown me prince of fools

′Cause even though you did me wrong
My heart denies the fact
If you give me half a chance
You know I'd take you back


If there's a fool born every minute
Then I′m the man of the hour
Seems I′ve been living a lie for so long now
There's a spotlight and I′m in it
'Cause I haven′t got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour
Whoo-hoo-hoo

There′s a time for giving up on love
And a time to stay and fight
I would give anything to be with you tonight
God I must be twisted
'Cause I know you're just no good
If you asked me to blind my eyes then
Girl, you know I would

If there′s a fool born every minute
Then I′m the man of the hour
Seems I've been living a lie for so long now
There′s a spotlight and I'm in it
′Cause I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I′m the man of the hour

Only stabbin' from my heart
Let it beat again
In my world of self-illusion
Only you can stop the pain


Even though you did me wrong
My heart denies the fact
If you give me half a chance
You know I'd take you back

If there′s a fool born every minute
Then I′m the man of the hour
Seems I've been living a lie for so long now
There′s a spotlight and I'm in it
′Cause I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I′m the man of the hour

(There's a fool born every minute)
Whoo-hoo (There's a spot light and I′m in it)
There′s a fool born every minute
There's a spot light and I′m in it, whoo-hoo
There's a fool born every minute
There′s a spot light and I'm in it
