NOT THE MAN

(words and music written by Julian Flindle

Gonna tell you a story

About a man I used to know

Gonna tell you a tale

Of a time not so long ago

 

Well the world keeps on turnin'

And there's nothin' we can do

Well things are movin' on now

And I gotta pull on through

 

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Time has taken toll

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

I've changed and that is all

Well I don't know what is goin' on

Or what is goin' down

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

These days I wear a frown

 

Gonna take you away

To another time and place

Gonna sit beside you

On a magic carpet ride

 

Well the world keeps on turnin'

And there's nothin' we can do

Well things are movin' on now

And I gotta pull on through

 

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Time has taken toll

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

I've changed and that is all

Well I don't know what is goin' on

Or what is goin' down

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

These days I wear a frown

 

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Time has taken toll

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

I've changed and that is all

Well I don't know what is goin' on

Or what is goin' down

'Cause I'm not the man I used to be

These days I wear a frown

These days I wear a frown

I've changed, I've changed around
