about

"THE SECONDHAND MAN" is a lonely character the Third Woman passes one day in the street. Like the office worker in "User Friendly" she sits a while and espies the passing parade through his eyes but one feels that she was glad to get out of this particularly musty ride,
"staring out the windscreen like its the blitz
some people look so lonely
you know, like "Lonely" out of Callan"

lyrics

starin out the windscreen
like its the blitz
some people look so lonely
you know , like "lonely" out of "Callan"
if he knew then what he knows
if he knew now what he knew then
the secondhand man might know he how got here

sitting at an old school desk
suckin on an icy pole
"this carpets made in Egypt.Came off the boat from Cairo.I'll go there soon, when I shift this gear. Dunes filled with gold, or so I hear".
"ello darlin', yeah its all good stuff, yeah....geezer died up the road....cleared out a whole house.....couldn't lift it all by myself...nah...not with this back...nah....this?this is the rolls royce of carpets this one....yeah...."

if he knew then what he knows
if he knew now what he knew then
the secondhand man might know he how got here
