Beaten Man

[Caravan Ray]

Beaten Man
Caravan Ray

The sun rising saturday morning
discovers me lying face down, naked, vomiting blood
in the piss-stained white porcelain bowl I'm embracing
on the cold tiled floor of a Dalby motel
and I know that I've been here before
from a memory fading like a newspaper photograph
shown as material evidence
linking me back to a history repeating

Don't try to catch me I'm falling too far
plummeting depths of irrelevancy
Don't try to catch me I'm falling too far
Falling, falling, falling, falling again

I see a remedy for this
a $4 cowboy toy gun looks good at a distance
a box of cut broomsticks all painted just right
a bank past Toowoomba
where nobody that I know can see what I am
it's just a once off, things will be right
and I know if I just get this break
I'm not a beaten man
not a defeated man

Don't try to catch me I'm falling too far
but trust me
i've got things under control
Don't try to catch me I'm falling too far
Falling, falling, falling, falling again

my time is ending now
what's left is lost

frost bitten face of yours
your faith is my cross

a hidden sticky mire
your wish came true
be careful of your wish
might get to you


I get to
I have to
face the beaten
by hate left eaten
somebody
anybody
when will you heal
the one to repeal

our time is ending now

our time is ending now
what's left is lost
frost bitten face of ours
faith is our cross
a hidden sticky mire
your wish came true
be careful of my wish
might get to you

we get to
we have to
face the beaten
by hate left eaten
somebody
anybody
when will you heal
the one to repeal

our time is ending now

Metaluna with bbabm

Hold me to the floor again
Bind my hands to my skin
Finding comfort deep within
The pain means nothing
Throw me to the wolves again
Tear the clothes from your skin
Rip me open from within
The pain means something
Beat me down
Like a bad boy
You've found me
Red-handed
Hold me to the floor
Bind my hands
Finding comfort within
The pain means nothing

Beaten Man - Hoblit

I Walk around firmly on the ground with both feet
and I don't trust just anyone that I meet
I make my way every single day in time
I wait my turn to earn my place in line

I carry along with my name plenty of baggage,a history of pain and my shame
So they cut me down wherever I stand and firmly gripped in their hand, a beaten man

I want no more of what's left in store for me
This world's got me by the balls and on my knees

I carry along with my name plenty of baggage,a history of pain and my shame
So they cut me down wherever I stand and firmly gripped in their hand, a beaten man

My chips are all cashed with no aces stashed
I want to be dealt a new hand
But I have to fold and I'm getting old
I'm a beaten man

I carry along with my name plenty of baggage,a history of pain and my shame
So they cut me down wherever I stand and firmly gripped in their hand, a beaten man

Beaten man by Johnny Cashpoint
Vocals, guitars, piano - Johnny Cashpoint
Drums, bass - Andy Balham

I have tried and I have tired of
Trying hard, it’s just too hard, to
Make ends meet, make
Sense of it, but know one thing, yes,
Just one thing … I’m a

Beaten man, yes, a broken drum, but
I am still better than you,
Always will be, As it should be,
Hate still feeds me, I’m so hungry -
how does it feel that a
Beaten man is a better man than you?

Fought so long, just can’t tell my
Right from wrong, my wrong from right, I
Tried to fight, tired from the fight, but
There’s one thing and it’s enough

CHORUS

A better man than you x 3

Beaten man, yes, a broken drum, but
I am still better than you,
Always will be, As it should be,
Hate still feeds me, I’m so hungry -
how does it feel that a
A beaten man still beats you hands down?

beaten man
you're better than
all the people who are laughing at
your short attention span

soon you can
complete your plan
when you'll lock the doors and drive away
in your delivery van

and you'll spend your days in sun
never seeing anyone
using up the cash you keep inside a can

all alone
no one can phone
but they finally appreciate you
now that it's well-known

beaten man
you're better than
all the people who are laughing at
your short attention span

and you'll spend your days in sun
never seeing anyone
using up the cash you keep inside a can

Beaten Man- Berkeley Social Scene

Verse 1
I’ve never been one to give in
she’s making me play the defensive
it’s always the worst when i know I'm right
who knew disagreements could be so divisive

Chorus 1
I’ll do anything to get her back
I’ll be a puppet under her command
Don’t want to win if I lose her
I have to admit I’m a beaten man

Verse 2
It always gets worse before better
traded my leathers for sweaters
she’s got me watching Nurse Jackie
And now she’s judging my reactions

Chorus 2
I’ve done everything to get her back
But I’m still unclear where I stand
Don’t want to win if I lose her
I have to admit I’m a beaten man

Bridge
Anything you want dear
all you have to do is ask
I’m sorry that’s not right (because)
you shouldn’t have to ask (and)
I should just know (and)
I will get it done for you
anything you want Dear
anything at all

Verse 3
The key to success is to just resign
It’s all about her which is just fine
you have to work if you wanna get paid
you have to agree if you want to get laid

Chorus 3
I’ll do anything to get her back
I’ll be a puppet under her command
I don’t want to win if I lose her
I have to admit I’m a beaten man

[lalabrookie]

Constant noise, he can't escape
She walks by him like a fashion page
Justice in her eyes His heart stops no surprise

He's a beaten man, He's a beaten man His heart in her hands He's a beaten man

Lost in silence, far away
Another one steps in his place
Watches her, tells no lies His heart drops no surprise

He's a beaten man, He's a beaten man His heart in her hands He's a beaten man

Every city, it's all the same
When she comes in, they know her name
Head over heels, drop like flies
And every one knows, it's no surprise
Yeah each one knows

He's a beaten man, He's a beaten man His heart in her hands He's a beaten man
