about

The few who heard the original demo all agreed this to be the best song on the CD. I'm not so sure, although I rate it highly. The audio sample at the beginning was taken from one of my favourite TV programs, any ideas?

lyrics

He's wasted, frustrated, his love life’s complicated,
this man hears voices in his head.
been run down, since sun down, can't show his face in this town,
small words of comfort, never said.

I've seen that man with fear in his eyes,
his plastic smile is a poor disguise,
he's on his knees and out of luck,
society doesn’t give a fuck.

He's banging, he's banging, he's banging on the wall,
He's hanging, he's hanging, I think he’s gonna fall,
He's singing, he's singing, he sang his song to me,
I can't reveal this mans, identity.

He's screaming, whilst dreaming, his work is so demeaning,
this man exists from week to week.
there's no doubt, he wants out, but no one hears his faint shout,
he claims the future's looking bleak.

I've seen that man with fear in his eyes,
his plastic smile is a poor disguise,
he's on his knees and out of luck,
society doesn’t give a fuck.

Chorus

And I think he’s at the crossroads of his life,
‘cos he says he’ll do the girlfriend and the wife,
with a knife.

He's banging, he's banging, he's banging on the wall,
He's hanging, he's hanging, I think he’s gonna fall,
He's singing, he's singing, his song is so off key,
He’s a bitter, twisted soul with low mentality
He's banging, he's banging, he's banging on the wall,
He's hanging, he's hanging, I think he’s gonna fall,
He's singing, he's singing, is this reality?
you must have guessed by now,
This man is me.
