Sideman - Primal Scream

He won’t but then again he might, changes colour overnight

Agrees with everything you say, just as looking as he gets paid

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

A smiling face for every place, politesse and mannered grace

Acting out his chosen role, never let him get too close

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

Nothingness behind his eyes, always centered on the prize

Snide behind the winning smile, always goes to extra mile

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

Blind ambition, empty words, platitudes so well rehearsed

A perfect dinner guest I’m told, a liar with a plastic soul

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

He’s the Sideman, Sideman

Watch you back man, he’s at your side man

Sideman, la-la-la, Sideman, la-la-la

Sideman, la-la-la, Sideman, la-la-la

Sideman, la-la-la, Sideman, la-la-la

Sideman, la-la-la, Sideman, la-la-la
