Mansun - Legacy: The Best Of Mansun [compilation] (2006) by Mansun (보컬) on maniadb.com

I travelled from Dublin
U said you'd change the world
U sing like Sinatra always
You've pulled 'em 4 miles now
Like Garbo in Berlin
U played 'em 4 zeros
just like always
Tonight some bitch is hassling me
And tonight it feels
so good feeling cheap
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down

You turned a man cuckoo
Half animal half grace
The chick was a teaser always
Tonight their hips
would swivel and turn
So we drove 2 the place
where we first met
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U always
The Queens they all loved U
The tall the short the fair
The sailors the psychos always
And here I faltered gun in my hand
And U with piggies scrawled
on your wall
And tonight her note said
Better off dead
And the Earth has never
moved for me since
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U always
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
Cos I always let U down
Cos I always let U down

Cos I always let U down

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring in to space
It's always quiet through my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

(Chorus)
I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizzare I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back at my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case

Dear Mavis I'm compelled to write this letter
In the hope that you may soon be getting better
I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor
If you haven't then you know you really oughta
I was worried so I went to see the vicar
But before I could confess he first confessed to be a stripper

Dear Mavis it was very strange to see him
So I thought I'd write and ask for your opinion
Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal
Or whether I should egg him on to turn professional
If I dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser
But the only thing the stripper vicar wears is plastic trousers

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all we...

Should we lie while he's still alive
Should we lie while he's still alive
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

Dear Mavis thought I'd follow up my letter
Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar
Very tragically his time on earth is ended
Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders
Dear Mavis if you tell us what your thoughts are
And I hope that they're not biased 'cos you are the vicar's
daughter

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all we...

Should we lie now that he has died
Should we lie now that he has died
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

And we know him as our vicar
And by night a part-time stripper
And the vicar got suspended
In his stockings and suspenders
And he's making wine from water
While he dresses like his daughter
And we know that he's a rip off
'Cos we've seen him with his kit off

Should we lie now that he has died
Should we lie now that he has died
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

Being a boy's like sucking on a lemon
And I judge myself by the adverts I see
My deoderant hides the real me
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep
Someone else warm, someone cooler
Tax on cigarettes, treats my cancer
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

Being a girl, being a girl
Being a girl, being a girl
Being a...

Feels like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

A frog it cannot comprehend the sea
Nor me happiness
Girl is much too weak a word for me
Made from Balsa wood

Being a girl
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl

The only pureness left is preached by Marx
Time to contemplate
Never been informed there must be poor
Or the rich won't be rich no more

Being a girl
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)

The only pureness left is preached to me by Marx
The only pureness left is preached to me by Marx
The only pureness left is preached by Marx

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin went down with Alice
Alice is marrying one of the guard
"A Soldier's life is terribly hard" says Alice

Stop you're looking miserable
Can't be bothered to get up today
My futures looking positive
No one even picked on me today
So you tested negative
Panic in your bedsit goes away
You convert to scientology
To feel a part of something
Once again

비참한 척하는 건 그만둬
오늘은 귀찮게 일어날 필요 없어
내 미래는 긍정적으로 보여
오늘은 심지어는 아무도 날 괴롭히지 않았어
그래서 넌 부정적으로 되보기로 했지
잠자리에서의 공포는 사라져
넌 scientology*로 개종했지
어떤 것의 일부를 다시금 느껴보기 위해

I look downwards
Feeling negative, looking negative
I see downwards

난 나쁜 쪽으로만 바라봐
부정적으로 느끼며, 부정적으로 바라보며
난 나쁜 점만 봐

Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie
Shame on you, you compromised again
'Cos things are closing in on you
Not so far away as they may seem

거짓말한 것을 숨기기 위해 거짓말해본 적 있니
부끄럽지도 않아, 넌 또 타협해버렸어.
왜냐하면 세상이 너를 포위하고 육박해오니까
그것들은 보기보다 그렇게 멀리 있지 않아

Someone nudged me in the street
Someone looked at me twice
Now I'm negative
Someone nudged me in the street
Someone poke me in the eye
Now I'm negative

길거리에서 어떤 사람은 날 밀쳤어
어떤 사람은 날 두 번 쳐다봤어
자, 난 부정적이야
어떤 사람은 길거리에서 날 밀쳤어
어떤 사람은 날 매섭게 쳐다봤어
자, 난 부정적이야

I'm sick of this England's shit
It's slashing down, we are drowned
Star is here drinking beer
Star is scrawled on my wall

CID, they follow me
I kidnap Star in my car
A TVR, we'll drive to Prague
And stop at Mars and we'll be

Taking Star to L.A.
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy, take it easy

Mum's got cake, belly ache
Feeling sick through Kuwait
Stole a tank, drove to France
Star's amazed, in a trance

M53 hit a tree
Crashed my car, I killed Star
Stowaway on a ship
Dodge the pigs, what a trip

Taking Star to L.A.
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy

If you feel transition to your other life
Don’t need money to be there
Leave behind your money just to prove your worth
Won’t be here so I don’t care

If you strap your conscience to your vision thing
Won’t be here so I don’t care
Prove your worth to people that you call your friends
Won’t be here so I don’t care

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

I’ve been drained, emotion is a bitter thing
Won’t be here so I don’t care
I concede relationships have left me weak
Won’t be here so I don’t care

Look for something worthy to replace my guilt
Won’t be here so I don’t care
Prove my worth to people who I call my friends
Won’t be here so I don’t care

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

Nobody cares when you’re gone, nobody cares when you're gone

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone (no)
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone (nobody)
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone

She makes me bleed, oh yeah
She makes me cry
She makes me sneeze, oh yeah
She makes me sigh

(Bridge)
So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven
Bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven
My only number must be must be

(Chorus)
Bring her on down by the souls of her feet
Slappin' around and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

She makes me bleed, oh yeah
Don't know her name
She makes me freeze, oh yeah
She's in my face

(Bridge)+(Chorus)

Bringe her on down by the souls of her feet
Slappin' around and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
Don't know her name, don't know what she's done

(Chorus

Roll on up and queue in line
All you need is here
Absurdity in what you see
Can't match the state you're in

[Chorus]
All things are flawed to me
Stick with the things that you know
Buy what you want from me
Hope was the one thing I sold

Say what you can't say, I'll never know
Don't want to know, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, I'll never know
Don't want to know, what you really sold
It's been a bad day
Closed for business, I'm going home

Tasteless gas that comes in cans
Why should I be stoned
For selling things to heal your sins
And make your sorrows go

[Chorus]

Say what you can't say, I'll never know
Don't want to know, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, I'll never know
Don't want to know, what you really sold

Say what you can't say, what you really sold [Repeat: x4]

It's been a bad day
Closed for business, I'm going home

She makes me bleed, oh yeah, she makes me cry
She makes me sneeze, oh yeah, she makes me sigh
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven, oh yeah
My only number must be, must be

Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

She makes me bleed, oh yeah, don't know her name
She makes me freeze, oh yeah, she's in my face
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven, oh yeah
Bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
My only number must be, must be

So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
My only number must be, must be

Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
Don't know her name, don't know what she's done

> So pleased if you're getting your way,
If you're coming unstuck then daddy's gonna step in and pay,
Look best in your party dress,
And you're gonna impress all the players
When they know you're not getting your way,
Daddy will pay,

So proud when you get up and dance,
Move centre on stage,
Make sure that everybody can see,
Exposures maximum
Subconsciously,
When you know that you are sitting on top of the tree,
Getting your way.

Getting, getting, getting, getting
Getting, getting, getting, getting your way

You feel warm,
You feel safe,
You're number one,
When daddy pays,
You're satisfied,
When you feel you're getting your way.

Leave school,
Reality check,
And you've gotta find work now daddy is refusing to pay,
Just like all the terrible kids,
Not returning your calls,
'cos jealousy is something that sticks for an age,
Now daddy won't pay.

Getting, getting, getting, getting
Getting, getting, getting, getting your way

You feel warm,
You feel safe,
You're number one,
When daddy pays,
You're satisfied,
When you feel you're getting your way.

You feel warm,
You feel safe,
You're number one,
When daddy pays,
You feel warm,
You feel safe,
You're number one,
When daddy pays,
You're satisfied,
When you feel you're getting your way.

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss
With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything I touch
Just falls to bits
So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Chorus:
Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So I took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Chorus x2

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Sunshine, sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(repeats to fade

All come crashing down, your desperate icon
You've got to gob on your desperate icon
You'll all come crashing in, your desperate icon
You've got to gob on your desperate icon
Am I a god, or am I Jesus
Am I a man, or am I a boy
Do I feel love, or just possession
Do I feel holy, or nothing at all
You can't deny that your shit just tastes as sweet as mine
And you can't deny that your shit just tastes as sweet as mine, sweet Jesus

Na na na nah na nah na na

One, two, three

I'm sick of all this scratching around
I'm calling Fred to come and give me a hand
He's the queen of all the shops where he shops
And he's the king of all the scene, to be seen
Skin of a nosebreak
Fatima toothpaste
Penelope Cheapskate
Claudia Farmgate

We're taking Egg Shaped Fred for tea
We'll make them sit strategically
We'll test their egg-ability
We'll make them meet

He only wants to get in your kecks
So he can carry out his own little test
He only wants to get in your pants
Because he knows that you have played in a band
Skin of a nosebreak
Fatima toothpaste
Penelope Cheapskate
Claudia Farmgate

We're taking Egg Shaped Fred for tea
We'll make them sit strategically
We'll test their egg-ability
We'll make them meet

Mavis she knows
Mavis she knows
She's got all these things around her
All things to no men
She see you in hell
I'll go shopping instead
He will send his centipede to sort ya'
He's stretched it out to make it two feet taller

We're taking Egg Shaped Fred for tea
We'll make them sit strategically
We'll test their egg-ability
We'll make them meet

> No no no this isn't happening,
So I drink myself into a state,
Wherever you bring love you bring conditions,
And so I drink to make you go away.

My fear is slipping away from me,
My lazy feeling filling my skin,
My doubts are slipping away from me,
My conscience keeps on saying move on,
Move on,
Move on,
Come on baby move on.

My bones have broke and left me shattered,
And my thoughts keep going off the rails,
Whenever you brought love you brought restrictions,
And so I drink to make you go away,

My fear is slipping away from me,
My lazy feeling filling my skin,
My doubts are slipping away from me,
My conscience keeps on saying move on,
Move on,
Move on,
Come on baby move on.

My fear is slipping away from me,
My lazy feeling filling my skin,
My doubts are slipping away from me,
My conscience keeps on saying move on,
Move on,
Move on,
Come on baby move on.

Move on,
Move on,
Move on,
Come on baby move on.

Move on,
Move on,
Move on,
Come on baby move on.

(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, fool again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool
Can't stop myself from drowning

Nothing standing in your way, feeling good
And girls want to check you out, looking good
'Cos shops want to let you in, 'cos you've been a fool
You just can't help it

Suddenly it seems worthwhile, life's a gas
And just when it all goes right, working out
And just when I hit that high, I am a fool
Just can't help it

(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool
Can't stop myself from drowning

Nothing left to get you down, feeling good
And know that you're always right, thank the lord
As cars swerving out your way, and you are a fool
You just can't help it

Suddenly you get mixed up, feeling bad
And everything you do is wrong, looking bad
And feel that you're out of touch, you've been a fool
Just can't help it

(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, fool again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool
Can't help myself from drowning

Just when I take one step forward and two back...

(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool, fool again
Doesn't matter what I do
(I've been a fool) I've been a fool
Can't stop myself from drowning, yeah

Taxloss, mod rock
Junk pop, chart hop
Mop top, swap shop
Who'd you nick your cliche off

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring in to space
It's always quiet through my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

(Chorus)
I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizzare I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back at my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case
