Man You Never Saw

Have you heard an ugly whisper Is the rumour really true Just in time, we're next in line They're really after me and you Since the demonstration Clamping down on every side Rounding up the kids at random Army curfew every night Don't repeat this conversation Don't let on we've met before Try and make like I'm a stranger I'm a man you never saw Church police were round this morning And the army's on our track Took away my books and papers Only just got out the back I just called in to tell you That your place is being watched Don't go into work tomorrow Try and make it down the docks Don't repeat this conversation Don't let on we've met before Try and make like I'm a stranger I'm a man you never saw Dump your car and burn your letters Smash your glasses, cut your hair Buy a suit and take a raincoat When you go, don't tell us where Take a look outside my window I don't recognise that van Someone standing in the doorway Better make it while you can Don't repeat this conversation Don't let on we've met before Try and make like I'm a stranger I'm a man you never saw --- Man You Never Saw - Tom Robinson and Tom Robinson Band
