I can only disappoint u



I cannot remember if I've ever put up the lyrics to this song by Mansun. Well, if I did...I must've forgotten. And if this is the first time you're reading about this here, well, you must have too.

I'll leave the lyrics to the end because, well, my past few entries were almost always about some song or something.

Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongs. In fact I'm not having them on this. You say they mean nothing, just gobbledy-gook. But just look at yourself, you're not clever enough. Understanding the truth, you are so out of touch. You believe all of this, you can't see it's a spoof. Understand all the words when they don't even rhyme. And I'm losing the rhythm and the whole thing's getting weirder and weirder. They all believe me. It's all so easy now.


- Paul Draper, Mansun.

I travelled from Dublin
You said you'd change the world
You sing like Sinatra, always

You've pulled 'em for miles now
Like Garbo in Berlin
You played 'em for zeros, just like always

Tonight, some bitch is hassling me
And tonight, it feels so good feeling cheap

I can only disappoint you
Cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you
Cos I always let you 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 to the place where we first met

I can only disappoint you
Cos I always let you down
I can only disappint you, always

The Queens, they all loved you
The tall, the short, the fair
(la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
The sailors, the psychos, always

And here, I faltered, gun in my hand
And you, 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 you
Cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you, always

I can only disappoint you
Cos I always let you down
