Cliff Richard - A Misunderstood Man lyrics

The story is a famous one Now worshipped, now dismissed Rehearsed and trawled for meanings That may well not exist The demon at the story's heart The cuckoo in the nest Gives little of himself away Which is of course why you will stay In case he falters, should betray By whom or what possessed These are the facts of the matter These are the names in the case This is the story, the pa**ion The time and the place They're laid here before you So judge if you can - The devil incarnate or A misunderstood man? His origins, his way of life His motives - they're all news No shortage of detractors To air their noisy views The man inspires a thousand lies The lover takes his choise Remaining coldly in control Aware that sadly, on the whole It is the fool who bares his soul I'll give the man a voice! These are the facts of the matter These are the names in the case This is the story, the pa**ion The time and the place They're laid here before you So judge if you can - The devil incarnate or A misunderstood man?
