Sideman Lyrics by Primal Scream

More Light

2013

[Verse 1]
He won't, but then again, he might
Changes colour overnight
Agrees with everything you say
Just as long as he gets paid

[Chorus]
He's the sideman
He's the sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man

[Verse 2]
A smiling face for every place
Politesse and mannered grace
Acting out his chosen role
Never let him get too close

[Chorus]
He's the sideman
He's the sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Nothingness behind his eyes
Always centered on the prize
Snide behind the winning smile
Always goes the extra mile

[Chorus]
He's the sideman
The sideman
Watch your back, man
He's at your side, man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Blind ambition, empty words
Platitudes so well rehearsed
A perfect dinner guest, I'm told
A liar with a plastic soul

[Chorus]
He's the sideman
Sideman
Watch you back, man
He's at your side, man
He's the sideman
Sideman
Watch you back, man
He's at your side, man
He's the sideman
Sideman
Watch you back, man
He's at your side, man
Ow!

[Outro]
Sideman, la-la-la-la
Sideman, la-la-la-la
Sideman, la-la-la-la
(Watch out, he comes again, just know how to be your friend)
Sideman, la-la-la-la
(Always has to call your name, he's the one you'll attain)
(Sideman, he's on your side, man)
Sideman, la-la-la-la
(Watch your back, man, he's the sideman)
Sideman, la-la-la-la
