January Man

[Verse 1]
Open up these shutters
It′s time to let a different light into my eyes
I'm pullin′ up the anchor
Firin' up the system, yet one more time

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'll colour me yellow when I'm feeling blue
I think I know now who I am
I′ve thrown the stranger out of my old mirror
I know he never gave a damn

[Chorus]
Hello world, pleased to meet ya
Hello world, do you remember?

[Verse 2]
The days of optimistic youth
The self made wars we all go through
Are long since gonе
And looking through the glass of time
The shattеred dreams I′ve left behind
I'm movin' on

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It′s Monday morning and I feel okay
I think I know now who I am
I'll write a message to the world today
To say

[Chorus]
Hello world, pleased to meet ya
Hello world, do you remember?
January man
I was the January man
January man

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It′s Monday morning and I feel okay
I think I know where I belong
I'll write a message to the world today
To say

[Chorus]
Hello world, pleased to meet ya
Hello world, do you remember?
January man
I was the January man
The January man
