Who's That Man? Lyrics


Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye, he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?
Maryanne, who's that man?
There's one thing that you should understand
You know many things that go unsaid
By the way one earns his daily bread
He's a lotus eater, a plow share beater
A rack jobber and an old grave robber
A strip miner, a big headliner
A charge-card diner and he comes from Carolina
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye, he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?
Maryanne, who's that man?
Do you think he's doing all that he can?

Can you tell me after all I've said
That you'd leave me and take him instead?
He's a gun clubber, an eye rubber
A bums rusher and a big ball crusher
A draft boarder, a food hoarder
A strike breaker and a heavy speed taker
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye, he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?
He's a black brother, an unwed mother
A flag waver and a rock and roll raver
A hippie killer, an offshore driller
The new messiah and a habitual liar
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye, he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye, he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?
Who's that man?

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
