Man Out Of Time

So this is where he came to hide
When he ran from you
In a private detective`s overcoat
And dirty dead man`s shoesThe pretty things of Knightsbridge
Lying for a minister of state
Is a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at traitor`s gate`Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him aroundTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of timeThere`s a tuppeny hapenny millionaire
Looking for a fourpenny one
With a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the public imaginationBut for his private wife and kids somehow
Real life becomes a rumor
Days of Dutch courage
Just three French letters and a German sense of humorHe`s got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilegeTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of timeThe biggest wheels of industry
Retire sharp and short
And the after dinner overtures
Are nothing but an after thought
Somebody`s creeping in the kitchen
There`s a reputation to be made
Whose nerves are always on a knife`s edge
Who`s up late polishing the bladeLove is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morningTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of time
Will you still love
A man out of time
Will you still love
A man out of time
