Mansun

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

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

I'm not getting sleep at night
My insomnia's a pain
Problems I create myself
I drag here from the day
Harsh words I keep them to myself
Hearing my problems serves to destroy
I'm a case for us all

Deserving what I get (I deserve what I get)
Deserving what I get

There's such joy in wasting time
An achievement not at all
My destructive side again
I'm please with what I've done

Feed this insect inside me
Watch my time drippin' off from the walls
This silence and stillness
Like a glove with the fingers withdrawn
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building
Living in a body bag
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Resurrection of memory
All the thing I remember I hold
A virtual impression
Of a life that I'm building alone
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

Wireless tells us all
Looks like there's a war
Both of us been through this before dear
Put on our gas masks and pray dear
But at least we've got each other

I'll still love you when the wind blows through
I've been through this before
I'll still love you when the wind
When the wind blows through

Outside all is cold
It looks like there's no war
But my hair's falling out at it's root dear
Things will blow over any day dear
And at least we've got each other

If I start this small debate the centre of the universe is up for sale
If my melody should fall, the tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should
Standing in the lantern light,
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do
If I feel God watching me, I control the actions of his destiny
If my sentiments ring true, feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
For me to tell you how it seems, I would
Standing in the lantern light,
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do
If I start this small debate the centre of the universe is gone for sale
So my melody should fall, the tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should
Standing in the lantern light, (I should)
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do

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

My good intent,
Is something that turns visions into actions again,
Like my cravings,

My good intentions,
My list of lists tells me that merit leads to salvation,
That?s not how things are done really,
I don't think so.

I don't know if I'm dreaming I'm a bear,
Or that he's dreaming he's me

I will take you to a place you will remember all your life (if that's okay).

Faced with the choice of just false beliefs,
A way to come to terms with my irrelevance,
All that really matters is I'm happy,
Never mind (how I got here).

My good intentions heal my soul,
The future is something precious,
Precious.

I've lived by mountains,
I've looked at trees,
I took it for granted,
No concern to me,
When you stepped on your mother just to get at me,
Must get out of this city,
Has it dawned on me?

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying my soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
Because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

Mother nature come to me,
I had a vision of the colour green,
I moved from the city and I tended the land,
Got out of this rat race and realised

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying any soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all,
I wanted too much and I lost it all,
I wanted so much I lost it all,
because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

And I want to live in the country and I want a view out to sea.
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
I need this city like a whole in the head because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

In future days with riot squads,
I simply want to melt away,
In fear of threat the system creaks,
And snatches everything it sees,
Incopper wires my life has changed,
Many miles beneath the sea,
Disposable decisions made,
Your razor wire letters sent.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone.

When Bilderberg will reign supreme,
You'll realise your votes were jokes,
By virtual deals in Burberry,
The designer world will say what goes.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone,
Where I hold my possessions I call this my home.

I'm so ordinary,
It's a shame about you,
It's so debilitating, in your opposing view,
Glad I made my stand,
I'll be stone cold dead before missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home...

I'll get down about it,
Unlike you,
So transitionary,
You'll move on too.
Glad I made my stand.
I'll be stone cold dead before missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home... home...

I could never admit it, but I'm missing you,
All that effort I gave to you, you resisted me,
You could never acknowledge it,
You're the problem,
When I'm stone cold dead I'll be missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home...
Home.
Home.

These days I don't look back,
All my fears are gone.
I don't care,
They're in a box in my head,
Like the one I keep in my room,
These days,
After all I've been through...

Say something anything anyone,
Airtime's been stolen like a robber stole a gun,
Thoughts and locations recording it,
I became backward retreated I am gone.

Oh dear I'm in a dead spot.
Oh dear I'm in a dead spot,
And the company despairs,
No signal / no complaints.

Giant estate cars descend on us,
Crawling bacteria from where I have just come,
Acres of pylons provoking me,
Just for one second I thought of it's damage.

Oh dear I'm in a dead spot.
Oh dear I'm in a dead spot,
And the company despairs,
No signal / no complaints.

I'm only here for the weekend,
Then I'll rejoin,
Rejoin the human race,
No signal no appointments.

It's the final straw,
Here's my notice that I quit,
Though I'm not quite sure,
But I'll take this leap of faith,
It's not a waste of time if you enjoy the time you waste,
So a wise man said,
Though it seemed like yesterday.

I feel like I'm almost overcome,
Once again,
More or less.
I feel like I've always known much sooner than later.

You can cry 2 my face,
And I'll know what you want me to do,
You can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
You can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

Such a smoky day,
Even saints have to wait,
Though I'm not quite sure,
As I found out today,
Do you feel life like it's always on the line,
But it feels so good,
And its like this every day!

I feel like I'm almost overcome,
Once again,
More or less.
I feel like I've always known much sooner than later.

You can cry 2 my face,
And I'll know what you want me to do,
You can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
You can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

When you can cry 2 my face,
I will know what you want me to do,
When you can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
When you can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

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

In the sand you used to lay
You'd be there at my side
As the night fell on the shore
She had gone
I trusted to you to stay

Read the story in the papers
Of a lover who had gone
Think that she has moved away
No one heard from her at all
For years

Someone must have heard her leave
Saw something
Get a job or get a place
All these questions made
No sense to me

Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Said you'd never leave
Pray that you are safe
Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

Every year i will return



And briefly you are there
And you always look the same
Nothing changes
Must have been the breeze

You have shot me to the bone
And ripped me up again
Was the cruelest thing to do
Came as no surprise
To me

Met a soldier from the war
Stole her things
Died alone a junkie
I still wait for you
I know you're safe

Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Said you'd never leave
Pray that you are safe
Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

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

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

So I go to work and smile
And I'm happy with myself
A brave face for my crowd
Correcting all my faults
With prescription medicine
My trouble surges

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

There is beauty on my own
Where I gloss over my flaws
At least I like to think I do
Correct my errors and my faults
To be someone who is appeased
With who I am for

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

Again, again

Right then, I have to make a choice
I'm gonna start right over as another boy
Just got to poke me, kick me off my arse
Make it rhyme, make it bland, make it sell
So she said

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
