Keaton Henson - Call Me Al Lyrics

[Verse 1]Man walks down the streetHe says, "Why am I soft in the middle, now?Why am I soft in the middle?The rest of my life is so hardI need a photo-opportunityI want a shot at redemptionDon't want to end up a cartoonIn a cartoon graveyard"Bonedigger, BonediggerDogs in the moonlightFar away in my well-lit doorMr. Beerbelly, BeerbellyGet these mutts away from meYou know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore[Chorus]And if you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost palAnd I can call you BettyAnd Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al[Verse 2]Man walks down the streetHe says, "Why am I short of attention?Got a short little span of attentionAnd, whoa, my nights are so longWhere's my wife and family?What if I diе here?Who'll be my rolе modelNow that my role model is gone, gone?"He ducked back down the alleyWith some roly-poly little bat-faced girlAll along, alongThere were incidents and accidentsThere were hints and allegations[Chorus]And if you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost palAnd I can call you BettyAnd Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al[Verse 3]Man walks down the streetIt's a street in a strange worldMaybe it's the third worldMaybe it's just first time aroundHe don't speak the languageHe holds no currencyHe is a foreign manHe is surrounded by the sound, the soundCattle in the marketplaceScatterlings and orphanagesHe looks around, aroundHe sees angels in the architectureSpinning in infinityHe says, "Amen and Hallelujah!"[Chorus]If you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost palAnd I can call you BettyAnd Betty, when you call me, you can call me AlCall me Al
