Name: Lonely Man
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: Guess everybody knows this feeling - also women of course: "all those people tearing at me hardly leave me room to breathe"... Lonely Man stands alone on this CD, is a bit less pessimistic and doesn't really fit either so the track doesn't connect to the others musically either :)

Guess everybody knows this feeling - also women of course: "all those people tearing at me hardly leave me room to breathe"... Lonely Man stands alone on this CD, is a bit less pessimistic and doesn't really fit either so the track doesn't connect to the others musically either :)

lyrics

I’m just a lonely man
And I got no place to run.
I’m doing the best I can
But only duty means no fun.

Wish I could break out and just be myself
But all those people tearing at me
Hardly leave me room to breathe.

My faith is weak
And I’m afraid it won’t be long
Till I’m gonna freak out
Already all my hope is gone.

I don’t wanna be me
Wanna be someone else or dead.
Just leave me alone –
I gotta get it all out of my head.
Can’t deny sometimes that I would
Rather be just free but
A simple and quiet life
Doesn’t seem to be meant for me
So I’m a lonely man.

Chris Cornell. From bluesy rock songs through emotional ballads up to funky jazzy numbers we play different genres with a wink. ... more
