about

Recorded LIVE, Arambol, Goa.

Written after seeing the Documentary Man on Wire about Phillippe Petite.
I recorded this for my second album but it became a very different song with Mathieu Cuvillier adding his explosive Harmonica to it.
We would always end any live set with it, as it’s very hard to follow and Matt certainly didn't fluff his lines here. This is one of the most perfect solo's and ending's he's ever done and will probably ever do...Pure Magic!

lyrics

Man On Wire

He takes one step into the horizon
Knowing that this could be his last one
He takes to his stage in the sky
People gather upon the sidewalk
Looking up to his black dot
They wonder what can it be
Somebody says

There’s a man on a wire
Walking on Fire
Water and air x2

He advances slowly at first
Takes no chances
Finding his feet he then dances
Kneels and salutes the sky
Gracefully he lies down ever so playfully
He now sleeps more easily
Cos he’s living his life and his dream
And the policemen says

Chorus

Oh live your dream
And set yourself free
