Tin Man Lyrics
I don't why I do what I
I don't why I do what I do
It feels so good to me
I guess that's why I do what I
I guess that's why I do what I do
'Cause it feels good to me and it's right there for the taking
With a hammer and a nail a man left to die
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's true
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon
I don't know why I feel like I should change
I don't know why what I need and what I want can't be the same thing, oh
I don't know why I don't miss my friends
I don't know why I cannot comprehend how special love can be
And it's right there for the taking
With a hammer and a nail a man left to die
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's good
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon
The tin man's got nothing on me
With a hammer and a nail a man left to die
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's good
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon, please
I don't why I do what I do
It feels so good to me
I guess that's why I do what I
I guess that's why I do what I do
'Cause it feels good to me and it's right there for the taking
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's true
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon
I don't know why what I need and what I want can't be the same thing, oh
I don't know why I don't miss my friends
I don't know why I cannot comprehend how special love can be
And it's right there for the taking
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's good
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon
The tin man's got nothing on me
With a hammer and a nail I eat this coconut, yeah it's good
I'm looking at the sunset wondering, "So what?"
The tin man's got nothing on me
Heart, I hope you wake up soon, please

That is a great line. I haven't even ever heard this song but now I feel like I have to hear it.

Like the Tinman, he's missing his heart. He does terrible things just because it's easy and he can. He experiences beautiful scapes but feels no emotion. He feels like happiness, friendship and love are all close to him, and he knows he should value them, but he can't connect. He wants to be better, but he's stuck in a void.
This song is about faith and love with God. He ignores it because it's the easy thing to do but with out it he is emptier than the tin man. Jesus is killed on the cross and his love is shown right there yet the person ignores it and continues to live the way they do.

Is he denying that he's a 'tin man' ? Because he says that "the tin man's got nothing on" him. Hmm. Just wondering.
I love this song. And it means that the tin man couldn't compete with him, i.e. he's more "heartless" than the tin man, I suppose. It's a great song. :D
This song is about numbness and indifference.
I think the lyrics suggest a heart has been hurt so many times, his love cast aside one too many times that his heart is no longer capable of identifying love, or keeping it.
