New Man

(Introducing, a special creature)



This is a song of greed and vision

He is a man of wealth and pride

He rocks back and forward

Moves from side to side

Polishing little wheels of commerce

He keeps his flag unfurled

He is a master of disguise

A citizen of the world



His unease is getting special

His time is coming now

Here's our New Man

Well his unease is getting special

And his time is coming now

Here's our New Man



Holding a mirror up to nature

Nature doesn't seem to care

Holding it underwater

Waving it in the air

His experiments are famous

And fit loosely round the facts

They're held together with glue and pins

And tape and wax



Hammering out a new aesthetic

With his fur and wire and fire

Here's our New Man

Hammering out a new aesthetic

With his fur and wire and fire

Here's our New Man



And you can't hide, you can't hide

It's got no ceilings it's got glass sides

Devil's work is what he do

Here's our New Man



He is called the human nest-egg

Is known as Prince of Leaves

He is hidden now but you can see

The bubbles where he breathes

He has mastered all the hard things

And is difficult to shock

Has a muscle on the bottom

Which attaches him to the rocks



It was the Devil made him do it

With his little shining eyes

Here's our New Man

It was the Devil made him do it

With his little shining eyes

Here's our New Man

It was the Devil made him do it

With his little shining eyes

Here's our New Man

It was the Devil

Gonna make him do it

Here's our New Man



Here's our New Man

Here's our New Man

Here's our New Man

Here's our New Man
