Taking Notes and Stealing Quotes on this song

Cover-version: 

Words by
Keith Reid

I'm a dog in a manger 
A cat with a mouse 
I'm the prodigal stranger 
I'll burn down the house 
I'm a self-educator 
A collector of news 
I'm the cool liberator 
Any topic you choose

I'm a man with a mission 
I'm a shooting star 
I've got no inhibitions 
I don't care who you are 

Got my eye on the future 
And my hand on the pulse 
There's a whole world of people 
In the back of the bus 
There's a man on a tightrope 
Who's got nothing to share 
Just a whole lot of secrets 
And a head full of air 

I'm a man with a mission 
I'm a shooting star 
I've got no inhibitions 
I don't care who you are 

It's the Tropic of Cancer 
The meaning of soul 
There's a change in the weather 
To have and to hold 
The method of access 
A handful of dust 
It's just par for the course, boy 
Get back on the bus 

I'm a man with a mission 
I'm a shooting star 
I've got no inhibitions 
I don't care who you are
