Lyric Ramshackle Man

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
(5:32)

My clothes don t fit and I have no point of view
I got a bad reputation but I don t believe it s true
I had something going but I blew it down the can
Not exactly what I planned
I m a ramshackle man
That s what I am

I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack
Shuffling around never get to the top of the park
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn t give a damn
I m a ramshackle man
That s what I am

I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do
I start out fine then I pick up something new
Stumbled through the door that s how it all began
Now it s buried in the sand
I m a ramshackle man
That s what I am

The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than I m feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now I m second hand
I do what I can
I m a ramshackle man
That s what I am
