Ceci n'est pas un Legiron.
I am not here, I am playing with the timer thing. As you read this I am in a place that has no internet and not even a landline phone.
Yes, I am at a Smoky-Drinky and might, even now, be in no state to type this well.
And yet I am still posting. Creepy or what?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
ReplyDeleteI met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away

I only thought there four lines until I found it just now.
Happy New Year by the way.
There is a man that sits in the corner of my room.
ReplyDeleteNo-one else sees him.
When I tell them there is a man that sits in the corner of my room,
They beat me
(We beat him)
Oh go away
You’re not really there
Don’t come back another day
Please.
There is a man who brings me jewels in my milk.
There is a man that sits in the corner of my room.

When I tell them there is a man who brings me jewels in my milk,
They beat me

(Chorus)
There is a man who brings me coffee in my tea
Etc.
Manfred Mann – There is a man – B side of My name is jack and a song I have never been able to get a CD copy of, but one which remains in my head forever and which inspired ‘The Spirit of Madness’ in ‘Fears of the Old and the New’.
Appears to be fixed now. Thanks L.I.
ReplyDeleteLets see if this works.
ReplyDeleteI sent you Email, but I think it bounced. No matter, it looks like it's working okay now.
