The Nowhere Man

Can’t find no time, must underline
He’s a nowhere man
He’ll  look you up and down
Don’t accept no sound
Call him the nowhere man
You don’t know his place
His face, there’s little trace
Must try and pace, no
That’s the nowhere man
He drinks but doesn’t call
You might try him, that’s all
Cos he's the nowhere man
But somebody ain’t playing cool
A hand becomes a tool
Such a fool
You watch him riding out
The nowhere man.

Paul,
I'm going to be vulnerable and say that I'm not sure I understand what you are saying about this "nowhere man." It's apparent it's a character you are not very fond of. Can't remember the content of the Beatles song either . . . liked the tune . . . hey wait a minute! I might be the nowhere man!!!!

[Paul Bell]

Just a lonely gunslinger.
Mind you, we're all nowhere men.

[kentuck14]

Been watching those westerns, huh!? I have wondered whatever possessed men to become should dead end persons . . . living with such violence . . . the American West was a time of tremendous violence . . . in many ways.

The violent west. Nothings changed.

[Saoirse K.]

charming piece
describing an elusive enigma
a transient spectre defying categorization
won't be tied down
resistant to commit
great word play
fun piece

[Paul Bell]

I was trying to portray the elusive gunslinger.
But I like the different interpretations.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

~i like this one a lot.
hope you are well.

[Paul Bell]

Doing great, Julie. Hope things are great with you too.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I get the song vibe and possible connection.
However... :)
Felt like an introduction to a Snapped episode. Strong and errie, anonymous and a bit unnerving.
Very effective.

[Paul Bell]

I suppose this guy is a bit unnerving.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol
I love this this piece. Images are overlapped and the readers questions begin to mount

[The Iron Horseman]

I know this guy! The creepazoid exemplar! The complete nonentity who does nothing, accomplishes nothing, contributes nothing, goes nowhere.
I always hated the Beatles song, but this rocks! Good job, Paul.

[Paul Bell]

That guy could be me. lol

[The Iron Horseman]

Somehow, I don't think so! Lol!

[I Am Svetlana]

This reminded me of "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles, one of my favorite songs...great job!

[Paul Bell]

Great song, wish I had written it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

he's nowhere and everywhere all at once...he is something, everything and nothing to himself, which makes him try to be anything but who he is really is...
somewhere he will be found, by others, or by himself...and may not like the place he is.

[Paul Bell]

The walk through life. The answer is at the end of it.
Just makes you want to drink more.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I could hear the Beatles as I read this one and it reminded me of a troll who roams these parts. An interesting piece indeed Paul.

[Paul Bell]

Great song. Sadly trolls are a fixture on every site.
