lyrics

Middle Man

Pick up the brightest light from the big antenna,
That’s beaming out from somewhere in the stars,
And the song is in you, and the beat’s forgiven you,
Let’s start again as if our eyes have just been opened,

To the brightest light from the big antenna,
That’s beaming out from somewhere in the stars,
And the old man Joe sings,
And his old girl’s listening,
She does a dance as the Word floats right through her,

She sees the brightest light from the big antenna,
That’s beaming out from somewhere in the stars,
And the radio don’t pick it up,
And the TV don’t pick it up,
It needs a Middle Man,
The Middle Man is you.

The oul’ lad said he once saw a spaceship,
And everyone thought he was mad,
He even took a photograph that he keeps for himself,
Right here in his back pocket.
But it’s all creased and torn,
Because he took it back in ’64,
And it don’t look like much,
But if you look real hard there’s something...

It’s like a big white light coming out of the blue,
It’s like a big white light coming out of the blue,

It’s sees the brightest light from the big antenna,
That’s beaming out from somewhere in the stars,
And the radio don’t pick it up,
And the TV don’t pick it up,
It needs a Middle Man,
The Middle Man is you.
