The Stone Roses
Straight to the Man
[Verse 1]
Saw this revelation, caused devastation
An initiation, all you'd better beware
Who'll cast the first stone? Skin to the bone
Bring it all on home, bring it all for Jerome
So new castle, build a brand new castle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, straight to the man

[Verse 2]
On an island of traders, you know they're trying to fade ya
No-one can train you, no-one evade you, no-one can fade you
Saying "Don't be late, no the train won't wait
Saying don't be late, no the boat can't wait
Saying Don't be late, no the train nor the boat
Or the train can't wait, yeah"

[Chorus]
Do the do do the do do the do do
Do the do do do the do do do
Do the do do do the do do do do do do do do do the
Heading straight for the man
Oh you know they'll never evade you

[Verse 3]
So now I stand here, love cuts down a revolver
Amsterdam is Sodom and Gomorrah
So I'm singing to King Stone, our teaching it's on
They say it's a fable, though I was made able
I slipped through the net, wanna bet it's a ramble, a sandstorm
One slip you know you'll never forget
Who could ever forget? You know I never forget
[Chorus]
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do straight to the man
Oh you know they're trying to fade you

[Outro]
Saw this revelation, caused devastation
I don't need no powder, one kinder, easy blind ya
Yeah, the eyes of Grand Bretagne owes a debt
Say the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All the eyes of Grand Bretagne owes a debt
Yeah, the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All eyes of Grand Bretagne owes us a debt
