Guy On Stage by The Real McKenzies Lyrics

Remember in the 60's
Just a wee toy lad
Influence by rockers
Most of them were mad
Throwing TV's in the pool
Livin' life so fast
By the time I caught up
All of it was in the past

Then arrived the 70s
I thought I was gonna lose it
Then I got into it
And sold my soul to music
Those of us still alive
Are standing here today
Tellin' people jokes that
Make them wince and walk away

[Chorus:]
Can you believe it
There is a little of animal
Who wants to misbehave
And from now on
We're gonna try to keep
That guy on stage
The 80's and the 90's I remember as a blur
Most of my time on tour
And playing shows around the world
Then came the new millennium
And everything got weird
Imagine me the monkey
Swinging from a chandelier

[Chorus x2]
So here I am today
And I've got a lot to say
About the things I've done
I thought was fun
To keep my trouble on the run
Let me tell you something
Deep inside I'm not so bad
I never meant to hurt nobody
Or make nobody feel bad

[Chorus]
