Lyrics:
I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Oh, work it now
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah, then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling, oh, so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
Walk it home
Oh, it's alright
Huh huh

Music makes me remember I want to live.

[@pippoplfc]

Brilliant cover of a brilliant song.

[@natechenry]

I read some of the comments Over on jimmy fallon’s live performance of Matt singing this song and it’s toxic af, lots of people are angry at Matt for covering it because “it’s sounds like he’s drunk singing it” that’s literally what Matt does. And he sounds amazing. The live performance from Matt is amazing.

[@jaramoneja]

Honestly, I would've personally preferred if he chose that version for the album. this is good but not that good

You should definetly cover Craig Armstrong's Wake Up in New York, my GOSH your voice is perfect for that song. My heart would melt.

[@ardhiynwa556]

Kapan konser lagi bang matt. Miss the national so much

[@eevae]

Not bad

[@simonjager9259]

Hat was von Einstürzende Neubauten

[@bllgrferreira]

He talkin about me?🤣

[@ichabod7939]

Nice rendition but I dig Bowie's cover version better..

[@lightsabreluke]

Like Johnny Cashbox's version best

[@jameswarhol442]

Nicely done sonically. Vocals are a bit lame. Maybe he should go up to Lex 125 and cop an energy drink or something.
