about

'The Man' joins Wolfcastle in his misogyny and racism, rendering the contents of this track problematic. For a long time I shunned this whole record, because it's horrible characters say and do such horrible things.

lyrics

Well I heard that you were looking for
A man to call your own
A producer who was looser than the
Nooses you've grown
For a man to lead your life
Away from every sorry wife
And all those worthless things you've thrown
Know that I can do the duty
If you'll sign upon the line
There'll be every kind of booty
You'll be treated just fine
There'll be prizes waiting for you
Of legal age
Though you'd never guess it, looking through
The bars of the cage
I'll bribe the lawyers when you've socked her
For deriding your bone
Cause I heard that you were looking for
A man to call your own

Now, you'll never have a reason to be
Singing the blues
You'll have every little thing you desire
Fastest women, fastest cars,
Sing for me in expensive bars,
In eighteen months I'll let you retire
Just sell me your voice
Sing these popular songs
Just think of all those women, singing along
Now your old producer scarpered
Let you sink into the red
Just give it a week,
He's gonna turn up dead!
Yes I'll keep you clear of misery
And Mexicans and Jews
You'll never have a reason to be
Singing the blues

Know that I produce big records
And they call me many names
I'm the Spectre, I'm the Colonel, I'm the Lord.
Oh, but you can call me Master,
Play it slow, play it faster,
Play it smoother with a secret chord.
Know that I can get you riches
If you'll call me by the name
And your audience of bitches do the same.
Be the hero of America,
The one they admire
Earn the praises that they'll sing around your
Funeral pyre
Know your fame will be eternal
Though your body goes to flames
Know that I produce big records
And they call me many names.
