Jesse James: The Man´s Too Strong by Dire Straits

'The Man´s Too Strong' is my favourite track from 'Brothers In Arms' (Vertigo,1985) and in my mind the song´s lyrics was always about some bigger than life western character like the outlaw Jesse James. Footage from Andrew Dominik´s 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2007).This video was created for artistic and recreational purposes only. Hope you enjoy. Lyrics: I am just an ageing drummer boy And in the wars I used to play And I've called the tune To many a torture session Now they say I am a war criminal And I'm fading away Father, please hear my confession I have legalized robbery Called it belief I have run with the money I have hid like a thief I have re-written history With my armies and my crooks Invented memories I did burn all the books And I can still hear his laughter And I can still hear his song The man's too big, the man's too strong Well, I have tried to be meek And I have tried to be mild But I spat like a woman And sulked like a child I have lived behind walls That have made me alone Striven for peace Which I never have known And I can still hear his laughter And I can still hear his song The man's too big, the man's too strong Well, the sun rose on the courtyard And they all did hear him say "You always was a Judas, But I got you anyway. You may have got your silver But I swear upon my life Your sister gave me diamonds And I gave 'em to your wife." Oh Father, please help me For I have done wrong The man's too big, the man's too strong
