Pete Doherty
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
[?] for test
Ah the kitchen's a mess and the garden's undressed
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 lala
Beware the eyes so green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
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 there where we began
