Who Was That Man? Lyrics - Nick Lowe

Who was that, who was that man? 

Nobody knows all across this land 

Who was that, that unknown man 

Who was that, who was that man? 

It was a wild and wet November night 

And the rush hour was at its height 

King's Cross the venue that 

The finger of death was pointed at 

Among the crowd was a lonely soul 

With a mission in mind and a place to go 

Nobody knows where he was bound 

When his fateful steps took him underground

Who was that, who was that man? 

Nobody love him across this land 

Who was that, that unloved man 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Through the open gates the victims poured 

The high and the mighty and the skinned and scored 

Up on the escalator they stood 

That brown old thing was made of wood 

A cigarette butt lit a fireball 

Went all the way to the ticket hall 

Mamas and papas and children died 

But there was one left there for whom no one cried 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Nobody claim him across this land 

Who was that, an unclaimed man 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Photos 

The authorities through debris 

On radio and TV did pick 

Exclusive pictures in the papers 

That made the general public tick 

The powers that be were all aghast 

About how this thing had come to pass 

But none of them seemed to care at all 

About the lonesome face on the station wall 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Nobody knows all across this land 

Who was that, that unknown man 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Who was that now? 

Who was that, who was that man? 

Nobody love him across this land 

Who was that, that unloved man 

Said nobody loves him 

Who was that man?
