Marshall Crenshaw - Steel Strings lyrics

rate me

(Peter Case)

Well all those nights they hit rock bottom

The songs they sang, well, we forgot 'em

You could hear them play with shaky hands

guitars strung up with rubber bands

Singing do you want a man of steel?

or do you want a man that's real

They used to play in the courts of kings

Now they're only made of steel when they're

on Steel Strings

They used to be on every schoolgirl's wall

and they never dropped the beat at all

They could make it soar, they could make it hot

Once they got started they could never stop

Singing, do you want a man of steel or

Do you want a man that's real?

Some of them hide when the doorbell rings

They're only made of steel when they're on steel strings

playing the man on steel strings

Were you expecting maybe Superman?

The best they do is the best they can

The manager's doing time in jail (applause)

And the pink Cadillac is up for sale

Singing do you want a man of steel

or do you want a man that's real

They try their hands at a thousand things

but they're only made of steel

when they're on steel strings
