A Man For All Seasons
by Robbie Williams
One eye on the shadows protecting his fellows
From sun up to the moon on his back
Sent the villains to Hades
A hit with the ladies
A stallion in the sack
You can’t get your life back
When right follows left Jack
The more you see the less you know
When others would leak it
His service is secret
Plays God when it’s your time to go
Queen and country safe and sound
With villians six feet underground
And no one knows cause no one’s found
Any trace of a man for all seasons
Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone
And you and I wouldn’t have a clue
Who's doing what, why, when and who,
Up the creek with no canoe,
Watch out for the man for all seasons
Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone
But safe at home
From the House of Lords
Saving Norfolk Broads
Commoners and landed gentry
His word his bond
Whether brunette or blonde
Baby it’s so elementary
For the man never messed up your life with one stare
See the film you’ll know how it goes
But this ain’t no fiction
Just check the diction quid pro quo a pro´s pro
Fellas
Don’t be jealous
When they made him they broke the mould
So charismatic,
Willing, automatic
Never prematurely shooting his load
Queen and country safe and sound
With villians six feet underground
And no one knows cause no one’s found
Any trace of a man for all seasons
Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone
And you and I wouldn’t have a clue
Who's doing what, why, when and who,
Up the creek with no canoe,
Watch out for the man for all seasons
Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone
But safe at home
Alejandra Tolj: 12:33am Feb 15, 2006: The correct name of the song is: "A Man For All Seasons" María Teresa Taylor Oliver: 1:22am Feb 15, 2006: No tengo idea por qué no me sale el cuadrito para agregar una nota en mi respuesta :( Nota adicional: No me preocuparía por "Jack", es sólo para guardar la rima con "back" y "sack", no es que esté hablándole a alguien llamado Jack. - Ruth Henderson: 10:00am Feb 15, 2006: In what context are you going to teach this to your students? Even for native speakers of English, some of the content is rather obscure and open to interpretation. - Alejandra Tolj: 10:47am Feb 15, 2006: I'm watching the film with them and we'll work on some vocabulary exercises with the lyrics (Fill in the blanks, Scrambled letters, Find mistakes in the words, etc). Nothing obscure about that! JA! María Teresa Taylor Oliver: 3:07pm Mar 3, 2006: ¡A la orden, Ale! Me alegro que haya podido ayudarte :) Disculpa por la demora en contestar, estuvimos de vacaciones por carnavales acá ;) Por fin, ¿cómo te fue con el resto de la canción? Saludos :) -
