I'm only, I'm only
I'm only human, human
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
But I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me
Take a look in the mirror and what do you see?
Do you see it clearer, or are you deceived
In what you believe?
'Cause I'm only human after all
You're only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
Making you cry
'Cause I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human; I make mistakes
I'm only human, that's all it takes
To put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm just a man, I do what I can
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me
This song is now being used in commercials for a brand of paper towels in Canada.
UPDATE: The song is now being used in an ad for toilet paper.
He is only human. And needed a paycheck after all.
This guy is great!!
No he isn't!!!
so tedious
As that very wise man once said "you plonker"!

In Germany it was in cellphone contracts commercials first, currently it's razor blades. 20 times a day is minimum. Annoying. Wish it was toilet paper...
It's not my bag either, but I can appreciate the simple complexity and the art of it.
I found a different meaning - of a Christ-like person or entity feeling the weight of all those prayers; the burden.
You don't have to be "Christ-like" to feel a burden. I see it as a person that has wronged someone else, and is asking for forgiveness, which is not forthcoming. We've all been there.
I really dislike this song. I know others have mentioned it, but the premise of this song hides a lot of insecurity. We are ALL human, after all. That's not news. Who is asking this fellow to solve their problems, and who is blaming him for something because he's a man? Well, we are only men and women, and variations thereof -- after all. We are all responsible for our actions, and inactions, and are to blame for mistakes. Whoever the main character of this song is, he's not any different, and I'll blame him if he screws up, and I'll expect him to fix it, and not look for poetic expressions to get out of his responsibilities. I suspect he would do the same. I find it to be a very immature lyric.

"I'm only human"
I've always found the 'let someone else worry about it' mentality to be most insidious.
Then apathy.
Then maybe relying on a higher power for help during hard times and offering praise during good times.
Course I'm only human so maybe I'm all sorts of wrong. ;-)
Long Live RP and HUMANity!!
Stand up, be a man. Take responsibility for your actions.

We are all human. This is not a defense, just a cop out.
Take responsibility for your actions, your life and the blame if deserved.
Can down. It's just a song.
Easy there. Here, just take a hit.
Who care if something is 'mainstream', just enjoy music for what it is..... the whole not listening to music becuase other people are listening to it is something most of us grow out of at school.
Sure, but I wouldn't say"most of us.". Many people maintain devotions to genres and even performers. Or am I making assumptions based on a vocal few that the music industry promotes? Guess I don't know and have no reason to look into.
Carry on then as you were before.

True dat.....and wouldn't even come CLOSE to bein able to fill Bill or Rebecca's shoes!! Long live RP!!!
obviously not for you, but I saw him do a live set which was excellent!
btw I rarely 'down-vote' - I 'skip' and @Rob, that should be another method of voting
count the passes
I haven't voted for this, needs the test of time
This bari/bass and tuba player approves and agrees with your comment...
A two.
You're forgiven.

And some (me) will actually remember rag and bone men plying their trade from a horse driven cart. . .
Yep, I remember that back in my childhood in the Jurassic. They're still going in Hull as I've seen them going up and down my partner's road, usually in a van but occasionally in a horse and cart driven by a lad with a man accompanying shouting 'RAG AND BONE' in unintelligible elision. I think they're from the local permanent Traveller encampment.
Sometimes (albeit rarely) mainstream gets it right.
like from a tree.
Sounds like the "monster" from LOST. :O
Consider watching less TV,mainstream radio and try to sit next to the stream, just close enough to sometimes dive into. Maybe this solves your problem.
Those of a certain age (cough!) will remember the old skool rag and bone men portrayed in the famous bathetic sitcom Steptoe and Son:

Just a note on the fact you referred to this as British hip-hop: There's a lot of great British hip-hop around, but this isn't it in my opinion. He's clearly effecting an American accent which, as far as I'm concerned, makes it a British dude making hip-hop, rather than British hip-hop. For examples of great hip-hop from this side of the pond (as opposed to Grime, which is something a bit different I'd say, but still worth looking at) check out Foreign Beggars, Akala, and Children of the Damned.
There is a British artist called Tokio Myers...you may want to listen to his version of this song on YouTube he actually combines interstellar and human together and creates one of the most beautiful pieces of music you’ve ever heard. (Tokio Myers-Human)
I'd rather hear that tune. It would be interesting if he were to cover it.

Thanks for the British hip-hop suggestions! My original take on this track was without knowing he was British, hence the "Texas" sound (which BillG emphasized today playing ZZ Top's La Grange before this one) - and maybe we'll get to hear more of the Brit-Hop you mentioned someday. LONG LIVE RP!!

That's how you tell em!
I do remember the days before BillG (ingeniously) added the PSD button and I think we have the same percentage of comments "this song sucks, play something else" as before...I think the only thing that's gone up is the number of replies "PSD you idiot!" or the similar.
All that said...I think this is a great track for 2017; a bit harsh sounding in the production, has a good Texas sound to it....so yeah...I'm at an 8 right now.
**EDIT** Well after hearing this track several times, and upping my 8 to a 9, I'm taking it back to the 8. I still like this track, and I'm really impressed by the idea of British hip-hop. I think I would like this better if it were "blues-hop" or something like that....the real authentic Texas sound I mentioned last month. I am not decreasing my rating because of any "pop" influence, although I am prone to not liking what's popular at the time. For me, I'll need to hear some more Rag'n'Bone Man, possibly I'll get the entire album for those party nights with friends. LLRP!!

I have no idea who the singer or the band are.
First time I heard this was on RP, and it drew my attention because it's quite a powerful voice.
Lyrics are a bit repetitive and simple, but, maybe because English is not my native language I can listen to it like another musical instrument. I don't watch TV, nor do I listen to the FM. Well, I do sometimes, but in a country where almost no foreign music is played. "Foreign" being among other languages, English songs. :)
I'm a Radiohead listener, like Thome Yorke voice very much. I was trying to imagine these two voices, opposite in every aspect, singing together.
Probably impossible, if I understand the comments below emphasizing on this band being somewhat commercial. Not exactly Thome Yorke cup of tea.
Although, in a sense, nothing published escapes commercial, doesn't it?
Says you!

I support this request. Urgently.

Just because you hear it on the radio doesn't mean it's a bad song.
so tedious
And it's awfully out of tune.
