[Chris De Burgh - Making The Perfect Man lyrics]
It was way after midnight, all the village was asleep
All except for one young villain through the night did creep
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell
Everybody came out looking, running like the hounds of hell
"There are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long
Let me tell you everybody there is something going on,"
So they took to the torches and went over the wall
Someone went ahead to tell of horrors hiding in the hall
"What did you see?" - "I saw an apparition,"
"What did you see?" - "A monster on a bed,"
"What did you see?" - "I saw an old magician
Waking up the living from the dead!"
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect
Making the perfect man!
So they called for the doctor, the doctor said, "it's strange
He's got pistols on his finger, he's got love on the brain
He's got a tongue good for lying and the legs to run away
He will fool all the people all the time some day!"
"What will he be?" - "A leader of the country,"
"What will he be?" - "A member of the press,"
"What will he be?" - "A banker selling moonbeams
You can watch your money going west!"
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect
Making the perfect man!
"I'd like to spend a night with you
And show you what I am..."
"What will he be?" - "Could make a politician,"
"What will he be?" - "A member of the press,"
"What will he be?" - "A banker selling moonbeams
You can watch your money, you can watch your money
You can watch your money going west!"
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect
Making the perfect man!
Perfect man, perfect man
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
I'd like to spend a night with you
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
All except for one young villain through the night did creep
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell
Everybody came out looking, running like the hounds of hell
"There are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long
Let me tell you everybody there is something going on,"
So they took to the torches and went over the wall
Someone went ahead to tell of horrors hiding in the hall
"What did you see?" - "I saw an apparition,"
"What did you see?" - "A monster on a bed,"
"What did you see?" - "I saw an old magician
Waking up the living from the dead!"
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect
Making the perfect man!
So they called for the doctor, the doctor said, "it's strange

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect
Making the perfect man!
Perfect man, perfect man
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
I'd like to spend a night with you
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
