Rupert Hine - The Most Dangerous Of Men lyrics

What overwhelms an orator so fine A leader sharpening his tongue until the end The voice for raising hell In the minds of uncounted crowds Now falters under stress The most dangerous of men The most dangerous of men on Earth The stranglehold of life is tight as drying leather Round his neck The well scrubbed hand now motions to subordinates To share his d**h And brandishing his words like virgin sabres High above his head The venom of experience Dies peacefully in bed The dream releases all aggression And twists his nightmare to its first confession Heavy guarded eyes And outside threats that creep inside Our friend is on the other side The most dangerous of men on Earth With no special powers or wealth to elevate himself He'll be forever falling last in line Behind the faceless millions he betrayed He made his mark on history And bore it past the grave Our friend is on the other side The most dangerous of men on Earth ------------------------------ Chant Vocals: ROBERT PALMER & RUPERT HINE Guitar: JAMIE WEST-ORAM
