The MAN Fan Pages

The ageless face of time
Smiles carefree and is gone
And in its wake leaves nothing
Save future yet to come
And out of fire and time
A world is born and lives
A world still young and virgin
Its face yet to be scarred

And they created man

And he rose out of the dust of the Earth
The misty dawn of creation
And to him they bestowed eternity
The all-meaning circle
No beginning, no end
No beginning, no end

The stage is set for man
The door to life revealed
And in his hands, tomorrow
And in his mind, the key

Please don't look at me
It makes me uneasy though I don't really care
Please don't look at me
You're playing with fire don't you know it's unfair

Watch you don't touch me
And see I'm alone without an ache in the deep
And see you don't touch me
Don't take me away from the things that I feel

And don't ever stop me
Speaking the words I was hearing before
Don't ever stop me
Leave me alone when I'm busy to score

hallo, hallo
Find out all the people
Ask them how they want it
Find out where they're living
Build it in their garden

Make it out of cardboard
Painted plastic windows
Make a door to walk through
Lock it on the inside

Empty like a vacuum
Full of nothing people
No-one ever sees them
Through the plastic window

Take a light inside us
Shine it on the ceiling
Shadows of our image
That frighten little children

An empty room is all around us
Like a world of strangled fears
Too many frightened people
Live there by themselves

Find some yellow curtains
Light the empty fireplace
Polish all the mirrors
Reflect the human body

Paint the walls so brightly
Tell the frightened children
Let them see outside
Life can be such fun

Tell the frightened children
Life can be such fun

Day after day had passed
Shadows cast
Of long forgotten things
That I had failed to do
Passing through
Nameless places
Then I heard you speak
I held my breath and turned
Saw you, and heard you say to me
"Have you a cigarette?"
So we met, and love was something real and not a word

And there were times she took my breath away
She gave me thoughts to think and words to say

We were so happy then
Life began
When all at once
Her eyes grew cold
She spoke to me
Laughed at me
Telling me
That I was just a joke
She doesn't want me now
Tells me how
All she ever wanted was to see me cry
And now I'm all alone, I know she's satisfied

Now when she leaves she'll take my life away
And so the curtain falls and ends the play

She'll take my life away
She'll take my life away

Blind man, try to save your sight
Blind man, walk out of your night
You're afraid of the darkness,
But afraid to turn on the light

Blind man, locked in shades of gray
Blind man, look for words to say
It will help you, help you, help you, help you
Help you find your way

Blind man, try to save your sight
Blind man, walk into the light
Now that fear is your room-mate
You're afraid to sleep at night

Blind man, stand up if you can
Blind man, try to understand
It will help you, help you, help you, help you
Help you be a man

From my window in the alley I see life
Passing below
So very far away
And it doesn't really matter much to me
I've nothing to think of
No words to say
And the only answer seems to be that life
Is lying there waiting
To take my life away
Now this empty world of mine will fade away
No one will miss me
No one will cry
Now my eyes are growing weaker, time is short
Life hangs on to me
Soon I must die
Oh my eyes are fading
Soon I must die
Oh my eyes are fading

Look out and see the rain, come in
Look out and see what it's brought in
Well hello, come in, it's nice to see you again
I waited around but you didn't show I thought you weren't bothering

Good job I saw you
You must be soaked
I'll take your coat
Hah! hah!

Wait till it stops, then we shall leave together
Better not chance it, I'll take along my umbrella

Good job I saw you
You must be soaked
I'll take your coat
Hah! hah!

Don't just stand there come on in, yeah
Come on, come on in

Sock it to me
You make me feel so good
Oh have mercy baby
In the midnight hour
Hey man, play some soul man
I want some soul
I am the judge
Everybody knows that I am the judge
Chickaboom
This tune has gone for shithouse city man
Oh what? Son of a gun

The ageless face of time
Smiles carefree and is gone
And in its wake leaves nothing
Save future yet to come

Now man has grown so tall
And earth has grown so small
He reaches for (unknown)
He knows it will be his

The future hides its face

And eternity will become so small
That man will hold it in the palm of his hand
And he will control it
And he himself will be eternity
No beginning, no end
No beginning, no end

The ageless face of man
Will quickly smile and leave
For he'll be damned himself man
The future will be sand

You can hide behind your nightsticks
Tin badges and twisted laws
You can stand on the road to compassion
And never see where it goes

But even you are a human being
Where did we go wrong with you ?
You are living, breathing, touching, seeing

Well we're talking about the day
When you took me away
Romain, Romain

I'm not ashamed, you frighten me
You made me think just like you
The eye that you have got from me
I want to take it back from you

But even you are a human being
Where did we go wrong with you ?
You are living, breathing, touching, seeing

Well I'm talking about the way
That your mind went astray
Romain, Romain

Well I'll tell you what you did to me man
And I'm not talking about the punches thrown
You got me thinking about what's happening here
Where we are and where we're all going

But even you are a human being
Where did we go wrong with you ?
You are living, breathing, touching, seeing

I was lying on the ground
And the crowd stood around
Romain, Romain

Thought my feet were on the ground
Till I heard that angel sound
He's a loner and a real mean cat
Only angels play like that
I know you've heard of King Creole
He got nuthin on that easy roll.

Opened up on Adams farm
Broke in mountains and then moved on.
I have heard some people say
He got booked back to play Doomsday

What's his name?

Angel Easy.

Brought the ice age played it so cool
Played Atlantis, blew it apart.
Angel Easy, see what you've done
It is timeless, you are the one.

The trip's just begun, we've broken the ice, it's all good clean fun.
Don't move away, don't change your name, we'll soon find the way.
Ace, it was high when woney was low, the Gypsey knows why.

Nobody else is so boring, just Help Yourself
Sounds in the night, the rustle of skins, the outlook is bright.
I'll tell you why, we're nearing the end, we're getting so high.

See the soft and yellow petals, touch the morning mist and cry
Holding out green velvet fingers in conversation with the sky
We're only children

Here's a man without an anthem, waving something in the air.
I only know that I just got one, but that's not saying I don't care
We're only children.

I believe in perfect silence, I believe in perfect light,
I believe in perfect darkness, perfect wrong and perfect right.
We're only children.

Living is easy, if you want it,
Loving is easy, yes, I want it.

Look at this green fly crawling 'cross my page
Look at all the ants in splintered frosted glaze
Many are called but few get up.
Will you?

Such a lot of work that we all can do,
You can do it all, live, love, move and do.
Many are called but few get up,
Will you?

My eyes are burning,
My mind is opening.

I got my head on the pillow, I can't get to sleep.
All is Manillo, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,
I can't move a leg and I can't move my arm
I can't understand what's doing me harm.

And the lonely pain grips your weary soul
And goes on and on, on and on and on.

I can't call my woman, no comfort nor love
A man with no face is crushing the dove
I'm leaving this sphere, it's all out of time.
A strange kind of fear some weird design.

And the lonely pain grips your weary soul
And goes on and on, on and on and on. ( 2 )

Just marking time and standing still,
When you got on life well you got no will

We're all talking and losing touch,
Knowing nothing just learning too much.

Love your life

Five clean chakras on the wall.
Good soul brother reads them all.

The city people making bread
I'm just as stupid, I'll be just as dead.

Love your life

Taking your shoes away
Walking on broken glass
Taking up high way straight
Hanging inside your carass
Where can we get by dawn
Washing in morning ice
Drinking the hero's wine
Seeing in stranger's eyes

*You're the one who we can hunt
Just like I began to start
When you're here he'll never put you down
Why I know that you're the land
Who will never clear our mind
Oh round and round with everyone in town

Letting too fast to seat
Running since with those feet
Talking too fast you hear
Feeling your body's squeak

La, la, la, la, la, la
Taking the easy way out
La, la, la, la, la, la
Taking the easy way out

(*repeat)

There's my bill now I'm all on the run
There's my pills gonna have some fun
But there's no smoking kill that weed
No man saw about me, watch me bleed

*Cool winds blowing, sky is filled upon
Looks like things are turn the real wheel
Christ is Jesus, I need sombody here

Like men crushing down the road
Jesus can be out this home
Freedom just a war to me
Shere with blind hours let me be

(* repeat)

Looks like somebody else
Cut his hair and shaved his beard
Woo Jesus woo
Woo trying my heart

Well I don't need trouble
Let's keep it clear
I see you in double
Where's the kick
The fuzz that I'm lying around the floor
I can't strees scene what I just saw
(* repeat)

Looks like somebody else

Kick him down to long out bar
Always do that walk at hard
Seems there is a mystery
Like a thunder and lightning kid

(* repeat)

California silks in silence
Russling in my ears
Clutching softly at my laughter
Touching every tear

*Turn him slowly, turn in slowly
Somebody said that somebody saw you laughing

California whisky rainbow
Help me got to sleep
Thirteen hundred silver dollars
Steal but never keep
(* repeat)

California rose and sunrise
Bending till you break
All because of drunk and sleeping
Sleep until you wake

(* repeat)

Why I told you before
My love is falling into your hand
And a woman will crawl is so big
That I just can't understand

That woman, ugly way, in my hands
Doing each day to dream
And leaving me feeling zero
We do wanna heart
To have a good feeling for him

*That woman's that free way
Will heart ends dream

Four day Louise
If someone everyone knows
She's so easily peace
I believe that everything's gone

(* repeat)

She's a good lookin' woman
With a lot to loose
The loving's feed of fragile heart
Read what you loose
The old man said
She's worn, she's old
The young man said
She's young and she's cold

She needs a piece of everyone
To fill a hungry hollows
The hours finer and never
Don't show a crumpled soul
Her angry craws of jealousy
Keep tearing us apart
And me I'm still in kerosene
To so good buring heart

She has a horror in opening door
To you
She has a horror in opening door
To you
She has a horror in opening door

The silence scream
A rolling stream
A voice of queen
Keep you up all dream
Until you've gone

*See them in the road house
Drifting out of sight
And taking voice of happiest days
Wounded through the night

**Some look for silence
Somewhere to hide
Some take the chances
To single sight

This man look like a turtle
That life had worn to bits
His eyes were full of wisdom
For his mind was full of shit

God gave him nothing
Just let it die
The pockets are empty
Something inside

It's good to see a human
Too glad to be afraid
Between the nights efficient
And truck with steady rate

All lips are scarlet
All hair is tied
My love has sorrow
I know she tried

Remember sons of poverty
That turns the frame for friends
That can't be heard by
Anyone at all

Come take us angels
Who care them all
God made us care us
Two hearts of gold

(*, ** repeat)

And my belly is craving, there's a shakin' in my head
well I feel like I'm dying, I wish I was dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
When I was a young man I learned not to care
Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear
Well my parents... is a curse
But the fate of their baby is many many times worse
Well it's real, one more time
Well it's real, one more time

Stay away from big cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
stay away from those people...
but it's better to have a .....codine
Well it's real, one more time
Well it's real, one more time

You forget you are a woman
and you forget all about men
If you try it.... you want it again
You forget how I lovin'...
You live out your days as a slave to codine
Well it's real, one more time
Well it's real, one more time
Well it's real, one more time

Hey everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once and when you're dead you're done
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old, let the good times roll.

Don't sit there mumbling, talking trash
If you wanna have a ball you've got to spend some cash
and let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don''t care if you're young or old, let the good times roll.

Hey y'all, tell everybody, the Manband's in town
We got some time to kill and we all raring to clown
But don't let no female play us cheap
We got fifty cents more than we're gonna keep
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old, let the good times roll.

No matter whether rainy weather
You wanna have a ball you've got to get yourself together
Get yourself under control and let the good times roll.

Lights out, standing at windows
Time to organize emotion again
Eyes closed, nights under street-lights
Turn them up, don't let them fade away.
Dream, dreaming the nights away
Dream, dreaming of golden ways

Bright schemes trapped under stage light
What your poison > Bet ya got one as well
Hold tight, wait 'til the time's right
Make your movie, turn us on to your dream
Dream, dreaming of better ways
Live, living for golden days.

I was out on the road to nowhere leaving nowhere far behind
The road was wide and empty, I had nuthin' playin' on my mind
That car was travellin' to damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do
So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view
Along for the ride and the view.

I was lying on my hotel bed, there was a hooker on the floor
I had just laid out all the money I had and she whupped me
'till I shouted "No more, no more, no more!"
That girl was travellin' too damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do
So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view
Along for the ride and the view.

I was out on the street and howling, I was a zoned-out Romeo
When a thousand golden-haired, sweet-talking angels asked me
if I was ready to go. I said "No"
But time was travellin' too damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do
So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view
Along for the ride and the view.

Daylight come and there's an aching in my head
Give me back to me, I might as well be dead
'cos I'm tryin' to get back to you, babe
Yes, I'm tryin' to get back to you babe
Yes, I'm tryin' to get back to you.

Smiling lawnman got me sweeping out my cell
Bust me open, got my picture, know me well
And he's tryin' to make me go down
And he's tryin' to make me go down, down, down
And he's running me out of town

It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live
Walking wrong and talking wrong ain't helping
It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live
Trusting me then bursting me wide open.

Papa Monday with his shaking making eyes
Mama Monday smiling taking all his lies
And she's tryin' to make out she don't care
Yes, she's tryin' to make out she don't care
And she's tryin' to make out she's cool.

It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live
Walking wrong and talking wrong ain't helping
It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live
Trusting me then bursting me wide open.

The road isn't wide enough for your kind of car, and you should be tired after travellin' so far
The sky isn't blue enough for your kind of day, the lie isn't true enough, you're losing your way
The sea isn't deep enough for your kind of ship, and you should be stronger 'cos you're using a whip
You're born with a future, you'll die with a past
But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail
And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.

Your voice isn't loud enough for you to be heard, when everyone shouting and you can't find a word
For all the silences that last for too long, when everyone's singing and you don't know the song
Your arms are not long enough to reach for the sky, the time isn't long enough, we're all gonna die
You're born with a future, you'll die with a past
But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail
And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.

You offer me forbidden fruits, and you know I can not say no
You let me walk you home if I promise to sleep on the floor
I've heard that before, I've heard that, you know I've heard that, you know I've heard that before
She's a lion and I'm a lamb, and she knows there's no way I can go
She lets me watch her sleping, making sure she never closes the door
I've been here before, there's always no more waiting waiting
You're born with a future, you'll die with a past
You're born with a future, you'll die with a past.

But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail
And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail.

You make me wanna run
and you screw my head into the ground
I know you love me
Like a fox loves the hounds
You make me wanna run
and you screw my head into the ground
I know you love me
Like a fox loves the hounds

Your head
Your eyes
Your nose
Your mouth
Your head
Your eyes
Your nose
Your mouth
Your head
Your eyes

Love your life TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT AGAIN Taking your shoes away Walking on broken glass Taking up high way straight Hanging inside your carass Where can we get by dawn Washing in morning ice Drinking the hero's wine Seeing in stranger's eyes You're the one who we can hunt Just like I began to start When you're here he'll never put you down Why I know that you're the land Who will never clear our mind Oh round and round with everyone in town Letting too fast to seat Running since with those feet Talking too fast you hear Feeling your body's squeak La, la, la, la, la, la Taking the easy way out La, la, la, la, la, la Taking the easy way out (repeat) THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING KID There's my bill now I'm all on the run There's my pills gonna have some fun But there's no smoking kill that weed No man saw about me, watch me bleed Cool winds blowing, sky is filled upon Looks like things are turn the real wheel Christ is Jesus, I need sombody here Like men crushing down the road Jesus can be out this home Freedom just a war to me Shere with blind hours let me be ( repeat) Looks like somebody else Cut his hair and shaved his beard Woo Jesus woo Woo trying my heart Well I don't need trouble Let's keep it clear I see you in double Where's the kick The fuzz that I'm lying around the floor I can't strees scene what I just saw (* repeat) Looks like somebody else Kick him down to long out bar Always do that walk at hard Seems there is a mystery Like a thunder and lightning kid (* repeat) CALIFORNIA SILKS AND SATINS California silks in silence Russling in my ears Clutching softly at my laughter Touching every tear Turn him slowly, turn in slowly Somebody said that somebody saw you laughing California whisky rainbow Help me got to sleep Thirteen hundred silver dollars Steal but never keep ( repeat) California rose and sunrise Bending till you break All because of drunk and sleeping Sleep until you wake (* repeat) FOUR DAY LOUISE Why I told you before My love is falling into your hand And a woman will crawl is so big That I just can't understand That woman, ugly way, in my hands Doing each day to dream And leaving me feeling zero We do wanna heart To have a good feeling for him That woman's that free way Will heart ends dream Four day Louise If someone everyone knows She's so easily peace I believe that everything's gone ( repeat) KEROSENE She's a good lookin' woman With a lot to loose The loving's feed of fragile heart Read what you loose The old man said She's worn, she's old The young man said She's young and she's cold She needs a piece of everyone To fill a hungry hollows The hours finer and never Don't show a crumpled soul Her angry craws of jealousy Keep tearing us apart And me I'm still in kerosene To so good buring heart She has a horror in opening door To you She has a horror in opening door To you She has a horror in opening door The silence scream A rolling stream A voice of queen Keep you up all dream Until you've gone SCOTCH CORNER See them in the road house Drifting out of sight And taking voice of happiest days Wounded through the night Some look for silence Somewhere to hide Some take the chances To single sight This man look like a turtle That life had worn to bits His eyes were full of wisdom For his mind was full of shit God gave him nothing Just let it die The pockets are empty Something inside It's good to see a human Too glad to be afraid Between the nights efficient And truck with steady rate All lips are scarlet All hair is tied My love has sorrow I know she tried Remember sons of poverty That turns the frame for friends That can't be heard by Anyone at all Come take us angels Who care them all God made us care us Two hearts of gold (, ** repeat) CODINE And my belly is craving, there's a shakin' in my head well I feel like I'm dying, I wish I was dead If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine When I was a young man I learned not to care Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear Well my parents... is a curse But the fate of their baby is many many times worse Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time Stay away from big cities, stay away from the towns Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found stay away from those people... but it's better to have a .....codine Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time You forget you are a woman and you forget all about men If you try it.... you want it again You forget how I lovin'...

THE WELSH CONNECTION Lights out, standing at windows Time to organize emotion again Eyes closed, nights under street-lights Turn them up, don't let them fade away. Dream, dreaming the nights away Dream, dreaming of golden ways Bright schemes trapped under stage light What your poison > Bet ya got one as well Hold tight, wait 'til the time's right Make your movie, turn us on to your dream Dream, dreaming of better ways Live, living for golden days. THE RIDE AND THE VIEW I was out on the road to nowhere leaving nowhere far behind The road was wide and empty, I had nuthin' playin' on my mind That car was travellin' to damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view Along for the ride and the view. I was lying on my hotel bed, there was a hooker on the floor I had just laid out all the money I had and she whupped me 'till I shouted "No more, no more, no more!" That girl was travellin' too damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view Along for the ride and the view. I was out on the street and howling, I was a zoned-out Romeo When a thousand golden-haired, sweet-talking angels asked me if I was ready to go. I said "No" But time was travellin' too damn fast, there was nuthin' I could do So I just sat back and closed my eyes and went along for the ride and the view Along for the ride and the view. A HARD WAY TO LIVE Daylight come and there's an aching in my head Give me back to me, I might as well be dead 'cos I'm tryin' to get back to you, babe Yes, I'm tryin' to get back to you babe Yes, I'm tryin' to get back to you. Smiling lawnman got me sweeping out my cell Bust me open, got my picture, know me well And he's tryin' to make me go down And he's tryin' to make me go down, down, down And he's running me out of town It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live Walking wrong and talking wrong ain't helping It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live Trusting me then bursting me wide open. Papa Monday with his shaking making eyes Mama Monday smiling taking all his lies And she's tryin' to make out she don't care Yes, she's tryin' to make out she don't care And she's tryin' to make out she's cool. It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live Walking wrong and talking wrong ain't helping It's a hard way to live, it's a hard way to live Trusting me then bursting me wide open. BORN WITH A FUTURE The road isn't wide enough for your kind of car, and you should be tired after travellin' so far The sky isn't blue enough for your kind of day, the lie isn't true enough, you're losing your way The sea isn't deep enough for your kind of ship, and you should be stronger 'cos you're using a whip You're born with a future, you'll die with a past But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail. Your voice isn't loud enough for you to be heard, when everyone shouting and you can't find a word For all the silences that last for too long, when everyone's singing and you don't know the song Your arms are not long enough to reach for the sky, the time isn't long enough, we're all gonna die You're born with a future, you'll die with a past But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail. You offer me forbidden fruits, and you know I can not say no You let me walk you home if I promise to sleep on the floor I've heard that before, I've heard that, you know I've heard that, you know I've heard that before She's a lion and I'm a lamb, and she knows there's no way I can go She lets me watch her sleping, making sure she never closes the door I've been here before, there's always no more waiting waiting You're born with a future, you'll die with a past You're born with a future, you'll die with a past. But your ship will never sail, and your hammer needs a nail And your body's getting frail, and your eyes are gonna fail. SPUNK ROCK You make me wanna run and you screw my head into the ground I know you love me Like a fox loves the hounds You make me wanna run and you screw my head into the ground I know you love me Like a fox loves the hounds Your head Your eyes Your nose Your mouth Your head Your eyes Your nose Your mouth Your head Your eyes
