The Other Man Lyrics[Verse 1]
I wanna be the other man
Feathered scarf silver tan
Blow out perfect rings of smoke
Catch them with velvet gloves

I wanna be the special one
Pulling rabbits out of hats
Juggling with words no one understands
A foreign tongue I speak alone
In windows i can see myself
Being stared at being stalked
I have to go incognito
And hide myself behind shades

[Chorus]
And all we talk about is nothing at all
We've seen it all
We never had a doubt
I am the one banging the gong

[Verse 2]
I am a dream out of life
Fake as the nosejobs of your wives
Men of honour please beware
I'll have my grave next to Fred Astaire's

Here I lie as the ancient king
Have no skills just bells to ring
Out in the darkness of my eyes
An empty space a place to hide

[Chorus]
And all we talk about is nothing at all
We've seen it all
We never had a doubt
I am the one banging the gong
And all we talk about is nothing at all
We've seen it all
We never had a doubt
I am the one banging the gong

[Bridge]

And all we talk about
And all we talk about

Is nothing at all
We' ve seen it all
Is nothing at all
We' ve seen it all
Is nothing
We' ve seen it all
Is nothing at all
We' ve seen it all

And all we talk about
Is nothing at all
We' ve seen it all
We never had a doubt
I am the one banging the gong
