Manifesto - Roxy Music

I am for a life around the corner

That takes you by surprise

That comes leaves all you need

And more besides

I am for a life and time by numbers

Blast in fast ´n´ low

Add ´em up, account for luck

You never know

I am into friendship and plain sailing

Through frenzied ports o´ call

O shake the hand to beat the band

With love is all

Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow

There´s one in every town

A crazy guy, he’d rather die

Than be tied down

I am for the man who drives the hammer

To rock you 'til the grave

His power drill shocks

A million miles away

I am for the revolution´s coming

I don´t know where she´s been

For those who dare because it´s there

I know i´ve seen

Now and then i´ve suffered imperfection

I´ve studied marble flaws

And faces drawn pale and worn

By many tears

I am that i am from out of nowhere

To fight without a cause

Roots strain against the grain

With brute force you´d better

Hold out when you´re in doubt

Question what you see

And when you find an answer

Bring it home to me.
