The Man Who Sold the World - Live at the National Exhibition Center, Birmingham, 13th December, 1995

We passed upon the stair

We spoke of was and when

Although I was not there

He said I was his friend

Which came as a surprise

I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone

A long long time ago

Oh no, not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand

Made my way back home

I searched for form and land

Years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely star

Of all the millions here

We must have died alonе

A long, long time ago

Who knows, not me

We nеver lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world, yeah

(extended live instrumentals/guitar solo)

Who knows, not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

Oh no; not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold ...

The world

[spoken: Thank you

Thanks very much that was it, written in 1968 ...]
