I'm Not The Man I Used To Be

Fine Young Cannibals, 1988

When I'm in trouble or out of step

If my balance has been upset

Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept

There's one thing, helps me to forget

Wonder what I'm thinking

Wonder why I'm drinking

But it's plain to see

I'm not the man I used to be

If life were easy and didn't ask

Didn't tease me or take things back

I could start to understand

What makes me the man I am

Wonder what I'm thinking

Wonder why I'm drinking

But it's plain to see

I'm not the man I used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame

I'm not the man I used to be

I've lost dreams that won't come back

Memories fading fast

I should save the ones I have

What's the use? 

Most of them are bad

Wonder what I'm thinking

Wonder why I'm drinking

But it's plain to see

I'm not the man I used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame

I can't explain

But I'm not the man I used to be

It's a shame, don't know my name

I can't explain

I'm not the man I used to be

Do you know my name? 

Do you, do you need me? 

But I'm not the man...
