Long Distance Man

Taken from "Sandbox" 1987

"He's a long distance man
and he keeps on going because its not worth blowing
and he does what he can because it not worth losing and
there ain't no choosin

Any other world that you live in
don't believe in second chance
Sell another dream he won't take it
so don't fake it when you dance

Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
the sad times passing years build another tower
for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
for the long distance"

A classic from the early days of Guided By Voices. This is such a Mersey beat style song and reminds me of a cross between The Beatles and The La's. I miss the joyful tributes to 60s British Invasion Music.
