Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Guy On Stage

Remember in the 60's

Just a wee toy lad

Influence by rockers

Most of them were mad

Throwing TV's in the pool

Livin' life so fast

By the time I caught up

All of it was in the past

Then arrived the 70s

I thought I was gonna lose it

Then I got into it

And sold my soul to music

Those of us still alive

Are standing here today

Tellin' people jokes that

Make them wince and walk away

[Chorus:]

Can you believe it

There is a little of animal

Who wants to misbehave

And from now on

We're gonna try to keep

That guy on stage

The 80's and the 90's I remember as a blur

Most of my time on tour

And playing shows around the world

Then came the new millennium

And everything got weird

Imagine me the monkey

Swinging from a chandelier

[Chorus x2]

So here I am today

And I've got a lot to say

About the things I've done

I thought was fun

To keep my trouble on the run

Let me tell you something

Deep inside I'm not so bad

I never meant to hurt nobody

Or make nobody feel bad

[Chorus]
