Tom Prescott Lyrics

New teeth can do a lot for a man

Now you can understand what he's saying

When he smiles he shows

Them neat pearly rows

Of the daring dentures he's displaying

Well he's been hit hard

And he's been broken and

Yeah he's been laid out on the ground

But now he's back and

He's found his feet and

You cannot keep a good man down

New shoes can do a lot for a man

He can travel new lands and discover

As he walks down the street

That he finds his own beat

Putting one foot in front of another

He's been walking and

He's been rolling

Lord he's been running all around

But now he's back and

He's found his feet and

You cannot keep a good man down

At the priest's cottage

I am a man of God

Can I stand and fight for what is mine

At the priest's cottage

I am a man of God

It's been here all the time

Hard times can do a lot for a man

Can you lend him a hand? Could you spare one

Cuz day after day

It all slips away

Til there's nothing that's left but the bare bones

He's been bones and

He's been alone and

He's been buried underground

But now he's back and

He's on his feet and

You cannot keep a good man down

A new town can do a lot for a man

He can make a new plan for tomorrow

Cuz everything's new

From his teeth to his shoes

His smile, his dreams and his sorrow

He's been hit hard and

He's been broken and

He's been laid out on the ground

But now he's back and

He's on his feet and

You cannot keep a good man down

At the priest's cottage

I am a man of God

Can I stand and fight for what is mine

At the priest's cottage

I am a man of God

It's been here

It's been here

It's been here all the time
