Subject: The first and last man From: GUEST,johnheaven@gmx.de Date: 26 Mar 01 - 07:44 AM Seeking lyrics for a song believed called " The first and last man" Starts something like "I am your noble savage"? Could be from Ralph McTell? Anyone also explain what it is all about? Best regards |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The first and last man From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 26 Mar 01 - 08:13 AM Yes, it was Ralph McTell who wrote it, inspired by 1930s science fiction writer Olaf Stapledon: probably his novel Last and First Men, though I think I recall McTell mentioning Star Maker as well. Can't remember the words, though. Malcolm |

And I have made my bow
And I learned an order in things
I have no time for freedom
I have cut marks on my body
I am the willing heathen
I am the maker of music
I am the writer in sand Words copied from 'Ralph McTell' Essex Music International Ltd pub 1972 Chris |
