Pearl Jam - Leatherman lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Leatherman lyrics]
I heard about a man to whom I may be related
He's Leatherman
Died a long time ago in the 1880s
Leatherman, Leatherman
Covered with leather, but it wasn't tight
Underneath the moon in the woods at night
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him
Here's what they'd say
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman, smile on his face
An axe in his pack
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman"
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed
Wasn't known to say much but
"Thanks for the bread"
So modern day I walk 'round
With my jacket faded
Just like a man of leather to
Whom I may be related
Rolled cigarette for which he'd
Ask for a light
I figured he'd be an animal, yet so polite
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him
And here's what they'd say
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman, smile on his face
An axe in his hand
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman
Leatherman, Leatherman"
Shake his hand, he's Leatherman
Bake some bread, he's Leatherman
Shame he's dead, I saw his bed
It's all that's left of Leatherman
Give me some skin, Leatherman
He's Leatherman
Died a long time ago in the 1880s
Leatherman, Leatherman
Covered with leather, but it wasn't tight
Underneath the moon in the woods at night
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him
Here's what they'd say
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman, smile on his face
An axe in his pack
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman"
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed
Wasn't known to say much but
"Thanks for the bread"
So modern day I walk 'round
With my jacket faded
Just like a man of leather to
Whom I may be related
Rolled cigarette for which he'd
Ask for a light
I figured he'd be an animal, yet so polite
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him
And here's what they'd say
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman, smile on his face
An axe in his hand
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman
Leatherman, Leatherman"
Shake his hand, he's Leatherman
Bake some bread, he's Leatherman
Shame he's dead, I saw his bed
It's all that's left of Leatherman
Give me some skin, Leatherman
