Es wird mir langsam zur lieben Gewohnheit, in die 1987 Klamottenkiste zu greifen und halbwegs annehmbare Oldies zu bergen, um ihnen ein etwas runderes Soundgewand zu verpassen, als es mir vor 30 Jahren möglich war. (Wir hatten ja nichts). 1987 war bei mir ein recht produktives Jahr. Könnte sein, dass ich demnächst mit noch mehr alten Kamellen um die Ecke komme.
Diesmal also der "gefangene Mann". Genau wie heute hatte ich damals keine Ahnung vom realen Leben. Aber dass man in den Bannkreis einer Frau geraten kann, weiss ja jeder seit "Unchain My Heart" von Joe Cocker. Im Gegensatz zu jenem Lied findet das lyrische Ich dieses Songs das aber gar nicht so schlecht. Es ist, als wäre man in einem Süsswarenladen gefangen. Es hätte schlimmer kommen können.

Captured Man
-vers1-
now listen to a man who used to be quiet, content and free
here comes his story, yeah here comes me
-vers2-
along with you a river started to flow
with things I didn't know, I didn't take for real at all
-lift-
I'm captured by your hand
captured by your heart, I'm captured from the start
-refrain-
you know you know I am
I am a captured man
-vers3-
before I saw what's happening to me
I had lost my heart and all my sensability
-lift-
it's captured by your hand (I'm captured)
captured by your eyes and captured in disguise
-refrain-
(now I know you captured me) you know you know I am
(and you'll never set me free) I am a captured man
-break-
(you know you know I'm a captured man)
you know you know it only takes some love
(to capture me I'm a captured man)
to capture me I still can't get enough
-refrain-
you know I am
(I'm a man you captured me) I am a captured man
-vers4-
all senses lost I do rely on you
just to pull me through, to make me new and old again
-lift-
captured by your hand (I'm captured)
captured by your heart, I'm captured from the start
-refrain-
(now you know you captured me) you know I am
(and you'll never set me free) a captured man
(I am just in love with you that's all)
-end-
I'm a captured man (you know you know)
that's all I am
