it's about the man against his inner self. it's absolutely amazing. I grew up listening to this band with my dad. always will be my favourite band of all time!
Alexey cherniak I am aware of that but many like myself who play and enjoy true music find personal meanings behind what they hear. I'm unsure to what you are achieving or going with your comment. so I Will leave it here and wish you the best in your future endeavours. 😊
Alice, I love this and MMEB are just the best band ever. I first saw them as a teenager back in the 70's at the Newcastle city hall .Had to walk 20 mile home as missed the last bus. Happy days ,would do it every night. Just Mantastic
I think the whole WATCH-album is absolutely flawless. The first album I ever bought, at around 10 yrs old, and it is still a favourite today. It is interesting to listen to the original (just below here) and try to figure out how the blazes MMEB made it into something like this. Outstanding song, I think.
можно я скажу на русском хотя живу в украине охуеный голос а музыка больше такой нет в мире я поклонница этой группы все песни все голоса лучшие в моей жизни
MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND "Martha's Madman" ~ Martha has a madman standing hidden in the shadows (He's got a long curved Turkish dagger with a bejewelled handle) ~ He's tellin' her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he's (Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples) In the pool of time she thought she knew it (But someone threw a stone into it which) Breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous (And it's true) What can she do (Yes it's true) What can she do (Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around another thousand years) ~ Martha's gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley (Where the shadows always frightening and the whispers tell her stories) ~ He's tellin' her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he's (Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples) In the pool of time she thought she knew it (But someone threw a stone into it which) Breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous and it's true (What can she do) Yes it's true (What can she do) Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around another thousand years ~
Итиху!..Святые угодники!..Хоть борода не растет, но в барбершоп, на всякий случай загляну...хотя бы яйца побрить на всякий случай...Парихмахеры-таки скинулись на хорошую рекламу, внемля взалкавшим хипстерам.

One of the two songs from 1970's "The Jerry Hahn Brotherhood" that MMEB covered (check out my MM playlist for the original versions and the covers). Thanks for the upload!
Superbe morceau tres rock mais tout l'album est remarquable avec quelques uns des plus beaux solos de guitare 🎸 jamais enregistrés, tout en finesse et émotions. Album indispensable pour tout mélomane
This cool and greatly unusual Song was pressed on the B-Side.. beside the rather disappointing commercial Songs "Davy's" and "Mighty Quinn" (by overrated Bob Dylan). In the End, this unique Song made the Album "Watch" as it should have been: A pure late 70's-Classic! (Pat, Switzerland)
