Lyrics The Man Who Came to Stay - Babyshambles

The Man Who Came to Stay

There’s a man who came to stay
The boy he replaced, disappeared without a trace…
Stole all my songs and my style away
While no-one would say
what they wanted to say
So he was king for a day…
If you sail into the sun
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole room tells you 'you are the one'
Well I defy you not to believe them, my son…
There’s a man who came to stay…
Trip off the test, now the kitchen’s a mess
and the garden’s undressed
Every single gig I play
Something’s not right inside
Paranoia and pride and nowhere to hide
If you sail into the sun, lala la lala lala
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
I think you’re hearing those voices again my son
If you sail into the sun
Please beware the eyes of green
And if it’s all too much for you my son
I’m still here waiting though no no no no no
