Turin Brakes - Average Man

.

If I was a farmer instead of a faker

If I was a realer and not just some raker

Raking through a memory that doesn't belong to me

Just someone I could have been if I'd only kept walking

Have another drink my son, enjoy another cigarette

'Cos it's time you realised you're just an average man

Alone on a motorway, you catch your breath

Cat's eyes lead everyway to lonesomeness

Since you learned to hide your fears and downsized your dreams

Still alive, still sincere inside your schemes

Have another drink my son, enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised you're just an average man

And if this is darkness here

and if this is darkness coming

Have another drink my son, enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised you're just an average man.
