lyrics

I work the corners.
I was good
and I was quick.
The best cut man in the business,
that’s what they said.
I fixed up champions and contenders,
losers as well.
I staunched their bleeding
just in time for the bell.
 
I used to fight myself
a long time ago,
but whenever I got hit
my blood would flow.
So I became a cut man,
the best in the biz.
I went from the streets of Auckland city
to the casinos of Las Vegas.
 
Bobby Ford had a great left hook
but he was lazy on defence,
third round the ref stopped the fight,
Bob came in bleeding like a pig.
I worked my magic
but I looked and I saw
the fear in his eyes.
The next round he went down
and later that night he died.
 
Maybe it was that,
I really don’t know,
but I quit a year later
and caught a plane back home.
Then I get a call from Tommy,
he’s got a new kid now
out of Tennessee,
and he’s after a cut man,
a cut man just like me.
 
So I’m back in the corners,
I clean ‘em up
and send ‘em out to meet their fate.
I don’t look in their eyes no more.
That was a mistake.
