A man with a box could be loving and he knows it

But a man with a box don't work that way

A man with a box could be loving if he tried it

But his rainclouds are permanently grey



In the 1960s a man with a box opened up

In the 1970s the man with a box drained his cup

In the 1980s a man with a box came along

And in the 1990s a man with a box wrote this song
