Rupert Hine - One Man's Poison lyrics
Your rating:
One silent person in another man's scheme One man's will can leave the rest with no control The boy was always far too youn The man was much too old One man forgotten gives another one fame One woman's beauty means another lives in shame One begs for food while the other counts her diamonds One is never satisfied The other blesses you in silence One man's hatred is another man's faith One man's poison is another man's cake One thinks he knows it But he's never ever tried it He won't take a bite in public but he'll eat it all in private One careless error is another man's fate One man's fall is another one's break One man's treason is another's escape One piece of perfect timing Means another's just too late One man gets richer from another fool's addiction One thinks it's fact while the other knows it's fiction One blaze of final glory lets another die unknown The one who plants the seed Will never see the tree full grown One man's hatred is another man's faith One man's poison is another man's cake One thinks he knows it But he's never ever tried it He won't take a bite in public but he'll eat it all in private One man's wisdom means another can see One proved guilty lets another go fee One man's Heaven is another man's Hell To one a mind quite empty Is more use than one too full One child of five is already full of lies One can't create but he's keen to criticise One man's enemy is someone else's friend One act of madness brings a journey's sudden end One man's pleasure is another man's pain One takes a picture he will never see again One talks of love but he's grown used to watching violence One who's lost is much too proud to ask for guidance One man's hatred is another man's faith One man's poison is another man's cake One thinks he knows it But he's never ever tried it He won't take a bite in public but he'll eat it all in private Guitars & guitar solo: Phil Palmer Finale drums: Steve Negus Saxophones, clarinets & recorder: Ollie W.
