about

I used to see the same old man in the same place on my way to work every day. He had this dishevelled look about him. He had a long beard and was always wearing his dressing gown. I used to pretend he was a down on his luck wizard with the power to save humanity but refuses to because people are mean to him. I’ve moved house since so don’t see him anymore but nicknamed him Green Man in my head. I still think about him often.

lyrics

Green Man walks the land with healing hands shoved firmly in his pockets
But I understand why it has to be this way
You don’t seem to understand that you can’t win a war of words with rockets
But you’ve blown his world sky high and washed his words away

And he’s not gonna change his mind, it’s set hard like concrete
Good friends can be so hard to find and now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet

James Brown walks through town in his dressing gown don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it
He wears his trousers high and that’s where they’re gonna stay
You don’t seem to understand that he’s got the power in his hands to stop this
But we’ve pushed it way too far so it has to be this way


And he’s not gonna change his mind, it’s set hard like concrete
Good friends can be so hard to find and now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
He’s not gonna change his mind, it’s set hard like concrete
Girlfriends can be so hard to find and now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet

And he’s not gonna change his mind, it’s set hard like concrete
Good friends can be so hard to find and now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
He’s not gonna change his mind, it’s set hard like concrete
Girlfriends can be so hard to find and now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
And now he’s got cold feet
