No Man's Land Lyrics


I got a job in Atlanta in a mall playing Santa
Not because of any talent but because
I was the only one the suit would fit
Everybody shopping, little sticky kids were
Hopping on my lap with their fingers in my beard
I guess, they thought that I was really it
She sat down on my lap and said to me
"I'm twenty three and I need someone
You look like someone who could
Play with me stay with me, all day with me"
'Cause I'm in no man's land
Can't seem to find a real man
You know, I'm lookin' for a steel man
She said, "I'm in no man's land"
I'm gonna show you a real good time
I'd gladly pay you double overtime
She was beggin' to be mine
But my job was on the line

Should I stay or should I go
Or I just didn't know?
I left fifty kids standin' in line
They were whining, they were crying
And their mothers they were screaming
In hysterics and I swear
I never heard such profanity
I dropped my suit on the floor
They were trying to block the door
They were calling her a whore
They were driven to nativital insanity
We drove away in her Mercedes Benz
Dirty blond split ends in the breeze
She said, "I want to put you under my tree
You're just a little gift from me to me"
'Cause I'm in no man's land
Can't seem to find a real man
You know, I'm lookin' for a steel man
She said, "I'm in no man's land"
You know, I'm ready for a real good time
I'd gladly pay you double overtime
She had money all her life
She wasn't lookin' to become my wife
She said, "I hope you understand,
I just want a night full of man, Sonny"
She didn't notice I was thin
With a delicate chin
Nor the softness of my skin
Nor the scent of my other personalities
She didn't see through my disguises
Didn't see it in my eyes
She was in for a surprise when
She discovered my emotional plurality
She said "Come and lay down on the floor with me
It's warmer here by the fire"
She didn't know that there was more of me
She'd have to learn to love all four of me
'Cause I'm in no man's land
I'm lookin' for the real me
If only I could feel me
You know, I'm in no man's land
Sometimes I gotta play me
It's really hard to stay me
Hey, I'm in no man's land
I'm looking for the real me
If only I could feel me
You know, I'm in no man's land
Sometimes I gotta play me
It's really hard to stay me
Oh, I'm in no man's land
I'm looking for the real me
If only I could feel me

Donovan is a Scottish singer-songwriter who emerged as part of the mid-1960s folk music scene.

He was born Donovan Leitch on 10th May 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow, Scotland; the family moved to Hatfield, England in 1956. Donovan came to fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with a series of live performances on the television pop series, Ready Steady Go!

Donovan first hit the pop charts in 1965 with his single "Catch The Wind". He produced hit after hit throughout the sixties and his Sunshine Superman album was considered an innovative breakthrough to a new psychedelic pop sound. His 1967 double album A Gift From A Flower To A Garden completed the transition from beat poet folkster to hippie troubadour. After splitting with producer Mickie Most after his album Barabajagal, his career struggled though the 1970s, but he has regained popularity with re-issues of his old songs in the 1990s.

Songfacts reports that Donovan first met Linda Lawrence in 1965, when she was recovering from a broken relationship with Brian Jones. The pair dated briefly, but not wanting the scrutiny and uncertainty of being a pop’s star girlfriend all over again, Lawrence broke it off at the end of the year. They continued to have an on-off romantic relationship over the next five years, and Linda exerted a huge influence on Donovan's music. They finally married on October 2, 1970 at Windsor Registry Office.

As a close friend of The Beatles he travelled to India with them during their famous trip, and taught them how to fingerpick.
