Marshall Crenshaw - Steel Strings Lyrics
(peter case)Well all those nights they hit rock bottomThe songs they sang, well, we forgot emYou could hear them play with shaky handsGuitars strung up with rubber bandsSinging do you want a man of steel?Or do you want a man thats realThey used to play in the courts of kingsNow theyre only made of steel when theyreOn steel stringsThey used to be on every schoolgirls wallAnd they never dropped the beat at allThey could make it soar, they could make it hotOnce they got started they could never stopSinging, do you want a man of steel orDo you want a man thats real?Some of them hide when the doorbell ringsTheyre only made of steel when theyre on steel stringsPlaying the man on steel stringsWere you expecting maybe superman?The best they do is the best they canThe managers doing time in jail (applause)And the pink cadillac is up for saleSinging do you want a man of steelOr do you want a man thats realThey try their hands at a thousand thingsBut theyre only made of steelWhen theyre on steel strings
