5.

The line-up consisted of vocalist Bob Brett, guitarists Norman Ley and Alan Davies, bassist Graham Thatcher and drummer Dick Gardiner. - from the notes to "Glitterbest" CD compilation (Phil King)
Family Of Man
The Farm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know a man a very incredible man
He's a big tall man in a big black hat
A wolf in sheep's clothing yes he looks like that
I know a man get in touch if you can
You are what you are
I am what I am
I know a man get in touch if you can
I know a man a very incredible man
He's a big tall man in a big black hat
A wolf in sheep's clothing yes he looks like that
I know a man get in touch if you can
I've been all around the world look at me
I've been all around the world can't you see
I've been all around the world
I've been all around the world
The Farm's song Family Of Man is a reflective and introspective take on the nature of human relationships and our place in the world. The lyrics seem to be a call to action, urging listeners to connect with others and seek out those who can help them understand their own identity. The man being referred to in the song is presented as a mysterious and enigmatic figure, someone who possesses qualities that make him both alluring and potentially dangerous. The repeated line "I know a man, get in touch if you can" suggests that there is something to be gained from forming a connection with this person, but it is not entirely clear what that might be.
The chorus of the song, with the lines "You are what you are, I am what I am, You are what you are," speaks to the inherent individuality of each person, emphasizing the importance of embracing and celebrating our unique traits and experiences. The final verse of the song, with the repetition of "I've been all around the world," seems to be a recognition of the vastness and complexity of life, and our own small place within it.
