This track was The Novus' first national radio play on BBC Radio 1 after Huw Stephens discovered it on one of their limited cassette mixtapes.
lyrics
He won't crack a smile,
he's living his life and it's getting him high,
again and again, is her doing it right,
all I know is that man's in his prime.
You cant tell me he's an OAP,
you're having a laugh he's got more electricity than I have,
you're telling me he's got a degree,
he's more off his head than I am.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
I don't need a camera to view her face,
the only look of a pure disgrace,
the writing on the wall is seen by eyes looking by,
but he won't give up,
he's just having a nice time.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
This guy must believe he can fly,
now he's got Camden lock by the throat.
This guy must believe he can fly,
now he's got Camden lock by the throat.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
The man on the bridge is doing a dance,
he's not in a top he's just in his pants,
sending everybody round him in a trance,
and he's doing it for free,
just take a picture for me.
