Average Man Songtext
von Turin Brakes

If I was a farmer instead of a faker
If I was a realer, not just some raker
Raking through a memory
That doesn′t belong to me
Just someone I could have been
If I only kept walking

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it′s time you realised
You're just an average man


Alone on a motorway you catch you're breath
Cat′s eye′s lead everyway to lonesomness
Since you learn to hide your fears
And downsize your dreams
Still alive, still sincere
Inside the scheme

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it′s time you realised
You're just an average man

And if this is darkness here
If this is darkness... coming

Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
′Cos it's time you realised
You′re just an average man
