I Was Once a Weak Man

[00:06.40] He is clean, but not too clean
[00:10.91] His breath fresh, but not too fresh
[00:18.40] These are the results of a shower without soup
[00:22.74] And just one pellet of gum
[00:26.23] He carefully returns his second phone
[00:29.64] To his refuge beneath the front room floor
[00:32.60] Gently flattens the rug ontop and strips down to his underwear
[00:41.52] He find his wallet, filled with the credit cards he hasn't used
[00:46.45] And lays it on the kitchen counter in its familiar place
[00:50.78] To be found in the morning by a curious consort
[01:08.47] Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love
[01:13.14] It's the curse of fools to be secure
[01:18.50] We are sportsmen, we are conquerers
[01:22.71] The day is disease and night the cure
[01:29.30] He never uses names
[01:32.27] That's too dangerous
[01:35.77] He calls them baby and sweet cheeks and hot stuff and darling
[01:42.25] And he's a master of the feigned surprise
[01:46.35] A doyen of deception
[01:49.67] Sometimes he wonders if he could have been on the telly
[01:57.34] He really is that good
[02:14.76] Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love
[02:19.16] It's the curse of fools to be secure
[02:24.14] We are sportsmen, we are conquerers
[02:28.38] The day is disease and night the cure
[02:34.49] He knows the quiet floorboards
[02:38.00] Knows exactly where to tread
[02:40.79] Even in this state, his muscle has memory
[02:44.77] He's a tiptoeing Travolta, a minging Michael Jackson
[02:50.29] Lighting up the timbers underfoot
[02:53.05] And as he silently approaches the bedroom door
[02:58.35] He wonders, as always, if maybe he's getting too old for this
[03:04.98] But, as always, he concludes
[03:10.71] Well, Mick Jagger does it and he's older than me
