Average Man - Turin Brakes

If I was a farmer instead of a faker

If I was a realer, not just some raker

Raking through a memory

That doesn’t belong to me

Just someone I could have been

If I 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 you’re breath

Cat’s eye’s lead everyway to lonesomness

Since you learn to hide your fears

And downsize your dreams

Still alive, still sincere

Inside the scheme

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

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
