The Man Who Came To Stay Lyrics

The Man Who Came To Stay lyrics

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
