Rapture, The - It Takes Time To Be A Man Lyrics






Well we're all getting bigger
But it takes time to be a man
And it's more than you figure
Well take it slow and take my hand

And there's room at the mountaintop
For everyone in God's plan
So just trust in your brother
Let me help you if I can

Oh yeah

I bet you can't get what you want
Come on baby come on darling
I bet you can't get what you need
Come on sugar and try

And there's faith in the answer
We all swear on this land
And the birds they are singing
From the place that we stand

Oh yeah

I bet you can't get what you want
Come on baby come on darling
I bet you can't get what you need
Come on sugar and try

Well there's room in your heart now
For excellence to take a stand
And there's tears that need shedding
It's all part of the plan

Oh yeah

I bet you can't get what you want
Come on baby come on darling
I bet you can't get what you need
Come on sugar and try

Hallelujah hallelujah

    I don't know if this is intentional, but this piano bit is from Lost in a Summer Night - the song that opens in the movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

    Love is a divine madness

    Those having torches, pass them onto others
    -Plato

  19. S.... M....

  29. F.... B....

    BSD, any which way

    F.... B....

    Same here

  30. F.... d....

    The music is as wonderful as the lyrics. The Rapture is a very important band of our century and I hope our children will remember them.

  31. c.... s....

    sweet jam

  32. d.... ....

    cult- talk is cheap sent me here...

  33. e.... m....

    that is called ''dance'' :)

  34. 8.... ....

    Thumbs up if John Mulaney sent you here

  35. C.... O....

    Ohh men that sounds good ! :)

  36. d.... ....

    also, it *does* sound like watered down u2 from the rattle and hum era, which itself was pretty watered down.

  37. d.... ....

    oh, geez. give this twirp a patriarchy award for enforcing sterile stereotypes about male dominance and female submission. the late 60s weren't so bad musically, but i'll pass on going back to an era before the sexual revolution, thanks.

  38. j.... d....

    Got here by genesis apostol vids

  39. s.... ....

    Holy fuck.

  40. R.... S....

    beautiful! so beautiful

  41. B.... N....

    BSD Anyway Which Way DVD!!

  42. C.... ....

    check out my remix of this song

  43. S.... ....

    all songs have relegious influence...

  44. S.... ....

    does anyone know the piano notes?
    i would like to learn how to play it.

    S.... ....

    did you ever find them?

  45. n.... ....

    it is as necessary as any other lyrics. music is about what you feel and think, and this person felt and thought about God and he wanted to write about it. my opinion.

  46. p.... ....

    like a "let's get it on" by marvin gaye!

  47. J.... s....

    @beartunes4 the most well-composed comment that my eyes have ever read. Typed out like a sir

  48. B.... ....

    @Indiramogollon16 eso es el poder!!! tambien me hace sentir bien!

  49. i.... S....

    Por que esta canción me hace sentir tan bien?

  50. G.... N....

    Fraquiinho...letra besta.

  51. d.... ....

    0 UNLIKE first time i see this :)
    love this song by the way!

  52. D.... R....

    This is great! simply great!

  53. r.... ....

    And even though I'm not in the least bit religious, I love all the new songs and have a new found respect for Luke. Not that I didn't respect him before, but I love how personal these songs are.

  54. r.... ....

    @nightbinger Luke became a bit more spiritual and religious since the last album...but it's not like he went crazy or anything. I know for a fact that Gabe isn't particularly religious and I'm not sure about Vito. Luke's lyrics just went in a different direction due to events in his life and how he decided to deal with them, but it doesn't mean they are now a Christian band or anything.

  55. g.... ....

    @nightbinger It's spiritual.

  56. J.... S....

    I don't like where the Rapture have went with this album, it's not nearly as good as their previous 2. And why did they all of a sudden turn so religious lyrically?

  57. J.... M....

    this song is gangsta as fudge

  58. J.... M....

    @beartunes4
    lol I feel like doing the same thing.

  59. J.... J....

    this makes me want to pour a nice glass of scotch, and move my body in ways that don't look natural

  60. b.... ....

    Amazing. Thats all.
