State of the Art Lyrics by Mick Fleetwood

I’m Not Me

1983

And when he plays it
He plays it like a broken drum
Oh yeah, you know you can’t beat it
And when he plays, what he plays
He’s playin’ strictly from the heart
Oh yeah, ooh oh, it’s the state of the art
And where he goes, it’s not as if he’s gone that high
No, it ain’t no disguise
Cause when he goes, where he goes
It’s simply for the joy of the ride
Oh, more if you wanna go, look in his eyes
And when he plays it
He plays it like a broken drum
Oh yeah, you know you can’t beat it
And when he plays, what he plays
He’s playin’ strictly from the heart
Oh yeah, it’s the state of his heart
Oh yeah, ooh oh, it’s the state of the art
