this song can be found on the so stupid cassette single. it is about one person who maybe tried a little to hard to have his own way, I'll leave it there I think. this is a really great song with trumpet and everything on the tape.
P.S. the words to mr man were written by shaun about someone who had pissed him off, funny how reading the song back now it relates quite well to the author himself!
v1
I didn't ask for this
I didn't want this
I just went along with all you said again
now where am I
wading in shit
crawling in despair
wishing you had never happened
chorus
and if I pull through do I want to
could I cope with it do I need to
if you were dead tomorrow I would only care
that you waited, waited oh so long
why did you wait so long
v2
drawing on emotion
hoping it calms me down
I know I'll never trust you again
I know I can't trust anyone
once I was glad of the world
and the way it had thrown us together
now I'm just glad
it has finally thrown us apart
chorus
v1
chorus
outro
mister man and his master plan
no real idea where he's going
all the wrong people with all the wrong reasons
but they're better than me aren't they
