A Man For All Seasons

Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams

One eye on the shadows protecting his fellows

From sun up to the moon on his back

Sent the villains to Hades

A hit with the ladies

A stallion in the sack

You can't get your life back

When right follows left Jack

The more you see the less you know

When others would leak it

His service is secret

Plays God when it's your time to go



Queen and country safe and sound

With villians six feet underground

And no one knows cause no one's found

Any trace of a man for all seasons

Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone

And you and I wouldn't have a clue

Who's doing what, why, when and who

Up the creek with no canoe

Watch out for the man for all seasons

Loves em' and leaves em' alone, so alone

But safe at home



From the House of Lords

Saving Norfolk Broads

Commoners and landed gentry

His word his bond

Whether brunette or blonde

Baby it's so elementary

For the man never messed up your life with one stare

See the film you'll know how it goes

But this ain't no fiction

Just check the diction quid pro quo a pro's pro

Fellas

Don't be jealous

When they made him they broke the mould

So charismatic with an automatic

Never prematurely shooting his load



Queen and country safe and sound

With villians six feet underground

And no one knows cause no one's found

Any trace of a man for all seasons

Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone

And you and I wouldn't have a clue

Who's doing what, why, when and who

Up a creek with no canoe

Watch out for the man for all seasons

Loves em' and leaves em' alone, so alone

But safe at home
