| PREACHER MAN |
| The second single to be taken from the album POP LIFE, and undoubtedly one of the 'Nanas best singles to date. With an array of mixes, and one of the most colourful and eye-catching single sleeves, it is a fond favourite of the fans. The single was also the last time the 'Nanas would have a Top 20 hit in the UK Chart for 15 years - til the release of MOVE IN MY DIRECTION. |
| LYRICS It�s like a magic, I�ve got to have it, whatever lies out of reach of me And to despise it, just magnifies it, can�t obliterate the need You�re bad news disguised dressed and painted with lies But I just can�t see (But I just can�t see) When truth is concealed how the danger appeals but my conscience sees I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Leave that boy alone (boy alone), he�s no good for you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Heaven must have sent you but the devil�s gonna get you� He�s gonna do it for you You�re like a black cat, who always knows that, its life is a mystery (mystery) You memorise me and then you hypnotise me, till obsession devours me Your silky words sooth me as they move me To ecstasy (To ecstasy) And just as I�m falling I hear a voice calling, don�t believe I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Leave that boy alone (boy alone), he�s no good for you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Heaven must have sent you but the devil�s gonna get you� He�s gonna do it for you You�re bad news disguised dressed and painted with lies But I just can�t see (But I just can�t see) When truth is concealed how the danger appeals but my conscience sees I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Leave that boy alone (boy alone), he�s no good for you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Heaven must have sent you but the devil�s gonna get you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Leave that boy alone (boy alone), he�s no good for you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Heaven must have sent you but the devil�s gonna get you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Leave that boy alone (boy alone), he�s no good for you� I heard it from the Preacher Man He said �Heaven must have sent you but the devil�s gonna get you� |
