The Average Man Lyrics


The average man is thirty-five years old
He owns a car but he dreams of a better one
He's overweight but he's working on losing some
The average man of the street is mad on StreepAnd he will fall in love at least two times in his life
And he will be unfaithful at least three times
He loves his wife but he sometimes dreams of a better one
Co, co, the average man, co, coWhat are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?The average man will spend three hours
Watching moving images on TV everyday
He spends twenty pounds a week on drinking and cigarettes
But every man says he will give up one dayAnd he is unhappy with his general appearance
And will spend over three thousand hours shaving in the mirror
He has a face but he sometimes dreams of a better one
Co, co, the average man, co, coWhat are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?

What are you looking for, average man?The average man is living for tomorrow
He cared to face the limitations today
Works hard for three-two-six days of the year
For a two week holidayI saw on TV 'bout this man from old Birmingham
Everyday he works seventeen hours
One day he'll come home and shoot both children
And the neighbors said he was an average manWhat are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?Co, co, the average man
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
What are you looking for, average man?
Ain't nothin' average about me, man

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Simple Kid (born Ciaran McFeely) is an Irish solo musician known for his trancey/synth sound and his "simple" approach to making and performing his music. Simple Kid's approach to recording is different than others in that raw recordings are made to an 8-track cassette player which he then feeds into his computer for mixing and mashing into the final song.

Before becoming Simple Kid, Ciaran was a member of The Young Offenders. Forming when he was 17, the band was composed of friends made while growing up in Cork, Ireland. The group attempted to release an album in America but was met with failure and broke up.

All tracks on Simple Kid's debut album 1 are mixed and mastered from his own recordings, on his own equipment, by himself. His second release 2 was put out in the UK in 2006, and the US in 2007.

His style of remixing and sampling has been compared to Fatboy Slim, although Simple Kid uses his own recordings as sources. Simple Kid's sound is difficult to place, but could be best described as folk trance-pop with an edge.

Although having spent considerable time in America before becoming Simple Kid, his popularity today is mostly limited to the United Kingdom. His touring is based out of London and he has most recently supported Bell X1 during their Ireland & UK tour in 2006. Previously, Simple Kid has toured with such acts as Travis, the Thrills, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede and Richard Ashcroft.
