Lyrics[]
Written by Marc Tanner and Jon Reede
Performed by Ian Hunter
Inside closed quarters
Night's calling under blood red skies
This madness starts burning
The victim of a strange desire
Mistaken, we follow
Restless emotions take me down
Unwilling, still hunger
For those small pleasures I have found
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man
Man!
In a bad time
Soft voices seduce you
Oh, a butterfly in a spider's web
Infectious behavior
You're damned to do it all again
And again and again and again and again
He's a good man in a bad time
He's a good man
Man!
In a bad time
Don't cry, darlin'
I'll be with you, yeah
All night, darlin'
Deep within you
He's a good man
In a bad time
He's a good man
In a bad time
He's a good man
Man!
In a bad time
