Making The Perfect Man - Chris De Burgh

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!
