Steel Strings (LP Version) - Marshall Crenshaw

(peter case)

Well all those nights they hit rock bottom

The songs they sang, well, we forgot em

You could hear them play with shaky hands

Guitars strung up with rubber bands

Singing do you want a man of steel?

Or do you want a man thats real

They used to play in the courts of kings

Now theyre only made of steel when theyre

On steel strings

They used to be on every schoolgirls wall

And they never dropped the beat at all

They could make it soar, they could make it hot

Once they got started they could never stop

Singing, do you want a man of steel or

Do you want a man thats real?

Some of them hide when the doorbell rings

Theyre only made of steel when theyre on steel strings

Playing the man on steel strings

Were you expecting maybe superman?

The best they do is the best they can

The managers doing time in jail (applause)

And the pink cadillac is up for sale

Singing do you want a man of steel

Or do you want a man thats real

They try their hands at a thousand things

But theyre only made of steel

When theyre on steel strings
