Remember, remember, my impotent temper...

i wrote this song whilst fighting the hun at the battle of the Somme. During the gunfire and chaos i glanced to my left to see the twisted torso of a dead German soldier, his body was disfigured, lifeless...inanimate.....

Inanimate Man

Inanimate Man!

and he can't take - so he runs
he can't stand - to be straight,
She might take - take her time
but he won't wait - animate

Inanimate Man....Inanimate Man.....Inanimate Man
          (Inanimate Man)     (Inanimate Man)

But they can't split - so they stick
She's a soul mate - for her man,
And he can't stand - by himself
See their contact? - hand in hand

Inanimate Man....Inanimate Man.....Inanimate Man
          (Inanimate Man)     (Inanimate Man)

And she can't read - so he runs
She makes her nest - in the dark,
They were made to - dumb it down
But the pain is - neat and sharp

Inanimate Man....Inanimate Man.....Inanimate Man
          (Inanimate Man)     (Inanimate Man)
