Soul Man - Nits

See this tall man walking the streets of Helsinki

He’s called Seppo, he’s a friend of mine from Finland

He tells me: «Henk, she left me again

And I went back to my old apartment close to the graveyard»

Nobody loves you and nobody cares

You’re like this leaf that’s falling down

And nobody likes you and nobody cares

You’re like this leaf that’s falling down on the ground

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Be your friend

Be your friend again

Now he’s all alone in the radio studio at night

He’s a disk jockey working for Radio Mafia Helsinki

Sometimes women call him in the night

Nobody likes you, nobody cares

You’re like this leaf that’s falling down

And nobody loves you and nobody sees that

You’re like this leaf that’s falling down on the ground

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Be your friend

Be your friend again

One night we went walking

From the Torni Hotel to the Kosmos Restaurant

And we were not allowed inside

We were wearing the wrong shoes

That’s Helsinki Blues

So we went along

Along the Vanha to the station

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Soul man, soul man

I hope I can

Be your friend

Be your friend again

And we were watching the trains

To Saint Peter disappearing in the night
