Man of the Land Lyrics by Icarus

This Must Be The Place - EP

2018

I'm a man of the land
A wanderer with no clan
Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta
I'm a man of the land
A devil in demand
But love would see me walk across the water
I spend my time in bars and cashing cars under the stars
I spend my tender times morose
You all say you love the sound of breaking glass
'Til the pieces fall too close
I'm a man of the land
A wanderer with no clan
Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta
I'm a man of the land
A devil in demand
But love would see me walk across the water
I spend my days surrounded by these screaming, seething screens
I spend my evenings far away
All my favourite teenage dreams were movie scenes
Cut through my twenties like a blade
Cos I only feel like me when I'm where I've never been
And my waltzer working days have spun away
So roll up and test your mettle
Where the dust never settles
And you never win no matter how you play
All the people that I know, in the places that I go
Say to me "Why can't you be more pleasant?"
But for all the late night bars, and their euphorias
All I ever really wanna feel is present
But for all the late night bars, and their euphorias
All I ever really wanna feel is present
All I ever really wanna feel is present
I'm a man on a mission
A compelling proposition
To adore before this sore world leaves me cold
There's a time I would return to
Cos only love can hurt you
And love has learned to leave me well alone
I'm a man of the land
Take my comfort where I can
I find it in the flora and the fauna
I'm a man of the land
Hate is painted on my hands
But love is only one look round the corner
I'm a man of the land
The sirens understand
Did they not send the red skies out to warn ya?
I'm a man of the land
No face tatts or Xans
I come from Cally Road not California
I'm a man of the land
A wanderer with no clan
Can't live the life my instincts say I oughta
I'm a man of the land
A devil in demand
But for love I would walk across the water
