Text: 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
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"
I defy you not to believe them, my son
There's a man who came to stay, never showing on time
Out of his mind, diddly doo, doo dine
Every single gig I play, something's not right inside
Paranoia and pride, nowhere to hide
If you sail into the sun, la, la, la, la, la, la
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
You must be 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
The boy he replaced, disappeared without a trace
Stole all my songs and my style away
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"
I defy you not to believe them, my son
There's a man who came to stay, never showing on time
Out of his mind, diddly doo, doo dine
Every single gig I play, something's not right inside
Paranoia and pride, nowhere to hide
If you sail into the sun, la, la, la, la, la, la
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
You must be 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
