The Bangin' Man (2006 Remaster Bonus Track)

(album: Old New Borrowed And Blue / Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet - 1974)

When you wake up in the morning
And you can't remember much about the night before
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door
And your head won't stop singing
The phone won't stop ringing
Your plane is gonna leave at 12.15
It was close to 6 o'clock
Before you got to know a little dream

Look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To banging back home
Oh look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To banging back home

I been in fifty diff'rent towns
In fifty diff'rent days
They all got different names
I been in fifty limousines
In fifty hotel rooms
They all look the same
And your head won't stop cracking
Your case needs unpacking
The only sound is from the TV screen
Until a knock comes on the door
And standing there's another little dream

Oh look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To banging back home
Oh look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To banging back home

'cos he's a Banger

Oh when you wake up in the morning
And you can't remember much about the night before
A small reminder of the state you were in
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor
And your head still keeps singing
The phone still keeps ringing
Remember just exactly where you've been
'Cos there ain't no doubt about it
There's no better things to see
Then what you've seen

Oh look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To banging back home
Oh look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, get down, get down
To banging back home
Look at the Banging Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down, down, down
To banging back home
