A Distant Cousin of the Devil

lyrics

A DISTANT COUSIN OF THE DEVIL.

Me anyway, I’m a waste of Air,
I’m a no-hope Boy on a wing and a prayer,
I’m a Dirty Man,
I’m a Wolf wearing Lamb
I’m a Distant Cousin of the Devil…….

Look at all these Children,
Who have Parents,
Who have Houses,
With their bills to pay and jobs to do…
They’re not like me and you,
They understand their lives,
They have a point of view,
They’re not like me and you……

And look at all these Lovers,
Who have promise,
And ambition,
Their love will make their plans go through,
They’re not like me and you,
They see a different end,
They make their dreams come true,
They’re not like me and you…

‘Cos Me and You,
Its gonna take a miracle to pull us through,
You know what they say about…

Me anyway, I’m a waste of Air,
I’m a no-hope Boy on a wing and a prayer,
I’m a Dirty Man,
I’m a Wolf wearing Lamb
I’m a Distant Cousin of the Devil…….

Look at all these people,
Who have problems,
And restrictions,
With their tears to cry and
Wounds to heal,
They’re not like you and me,
They own a life that’s real,
They have a reason to be,
They’re not like you and me.


But Me and You,
Its gonna take a miracle to pull us through,
You know what they say about…

Me anyway, I’m a waste of Air,
I’m a no-hope Boy on a wing and a prayer,
I’m a Dirty Man,
I’m a Wolf wearing Lamb
I’m a Distant Cousin of the Devil…….

But what can it matter?
