  • My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view
    I got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true
    I had something going but I blew it down the can
    Not exactly what I planned

    I'm a ramshackle man
    That's what I am

    I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack
    Shuffling around never get to the top of the park
    I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
    But he couldn't give a damn

    I'm a ramshackle man
    That's what I am

    I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do
    I start out fine then I pick up something new
    Stumbled through the door that's how it all began
    Now it's buried in the sand

    I'm a ramshackle man
    That's what I am

    The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
    Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today
    I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand
    I do what I can

    I'm a ramshackle man
    That's what I am Writer/s: IAN GILLAN, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROGER DAVID GLOVER
