Lyrics - Robin Thomas Quinn ©2012
Don’t let my pretty English accent fool you
A million miles away where I come from
Cos underneath this suit, a wolf is lying by
Watch the hand and not the singer of the song
Don’t be deceived when all that glitters doesn’t fly
I’ll eat you alive–live to fight another day
The measure of the man
Is in the hand and not the song
And that, my friend’s the land where I come from
The measure of the man
is in the hand and not the song
Watch the band and not the singer of the song
Not what I’m saying—Watch what I’m doing
Hey ah, what’s that you say, ah ...
The truth will always play?
(Tell me) What good are well kept words left in the rain?
Without any game—will they fight another day?
The measure of the man
Is in the hand and not the song
Watch the band and not the singer of the song
The measure of the man
Is in the hand and not the song
Watch the band and not the singer of the song
Watch what I’m doing—Not what I'm saying
Don’t be deceived when all that glitters doesn’t fly
I’ll eat you alive—Live to fight another day
No matter what you see–the truth is in the deed
No matter what I say–the proof is in the play
Watch the hand and not the singer of the song
Watch the band and not the singer of the song
Not what I’m saying—Watch what I’m doing
There is much truth and vulnerability in your words.....love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, BridgeBuilder. Exactly what I strive for. Appropriate too, as the the caption underneath the top art, was a friends comment after reading my lyrics. "Your words make me feel like you are Undressing In Public." Hah! Thanks again.

ReplyDeleteOooh. Thank you again, BB. Too kind. ;) In the immortal words of The Iron Lady, circa 1984. "I refer the right honorable person to the reply I gave some moments ago." -MT
