Ballet Spandau – Man In Chains lyrics

Iæ?³e only myself to blame,
Now that Iæ?¦ tangled up in chains,
So you say, ooh, so you say
Caught in this human cage,
Trapped, and Iæ?¦ fired up with rage
And somebodyæ?¯ got to pay
I can never talk about it,
I can never say what I want to say
So Iæ?£l take your tip and Iæ?£l bite my lip
And hope it goes away
You say Iæ?¦ a man of straw
Well, baby, Iæ?¦ gonna break your law
Then itæ?¯ war, ooh, yes itæ?¯ war
Love on a thin white line,
Love that was just a waste of time,
Oh, not anymore
I can feel it coming at me,
I can feel it coming like the wind
But, Iæ?¦ locked away and Iæ?¦ bound to stay,
So no one can get in
Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me whoæ?¯ to blame,
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man, now Iæ?¦ a man in chains
There must be a reason why
Youæ?®e pulling the wool down on my eyes
Itæ?¯ a lie, itæ?¯ a lie
Dragging this ball and chain,
Oh, how long can I take this pain?
But somebody has to try, yeah
Oh, I can feel the pressure on me,
I can feel it taking me from the start
Sticks and stones will smash my bones,
But never break my heart
Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me whoæ?¯ to blame,
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man, now Iæ?¦ a man in chains
I can never talk about it,
Oh, I can never say what I want to say
So Iæ?£l take your tip and Iæ?£l bite my lip
And hope it goes away
Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man in chains, Iæ?¦ a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me whoæ?¯ to blame,
Oh, Iæ?¦ a man, now Iæ?¦ a man in chains
