Dead On Arrival - John Martyn

Died on a plane, no pain, got nowhere to go

Broken black days you talked to the radio

Man by your side says he’s trying to understand

But you’re sick to your soul 'cause you know that he don’t give a damn

You know that all he

Wants you to be

All he

Wants you to be

All he wants is just a heavy young man

Too young for small time, you’re big time in no time at all

Buying your time everywhere, you make time for them all

Man by your side brings you here for just one more show

But you’re dead on arrival, fast faded and nowhere to go

And all he

Wants you to be

All he

Wants you to be

All he wants is just a heavy young man

Heavy young man

Round about Memphis they come round and give you a shake

But you’re up and away, you had all any man could take

It’s dead on arrival, child and it’s such a shame

There’s nobody else in this world but yourself to blame

For all you

Wanted to be

All you

Wanted to be

All you wanted was a heavy young man

Ah just heavy young man
