Liner Notes
|
This was the last song I wrote for the album, and the last one we recorded for it too. It was recorded in a day at a studio in Wrexham (called The Windings), after making a last minute booking to see if we could better 'The Most To Gain' as the second album track. I remember sitting in the grey house, "in the zone", trying to come up with an original direction for the lyric. I'd vowed never to write a love song (...and I did mean it as well), but this, the 36th track we'd recorded so far became the first. |

Lyrics
Mansun's Only Love Song
If I start this small debate The centre of the universe is up for sale If my melody should fall The tune is unimportant as I said before Or should I say it was the words, I should
Standing in grey lantern light Mavis looking sexy through her dress, it shines Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines (And she says)
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do If I feel God watching me I control the actions of his destiny If my sentiments ring true Feel him in the mirror laughing back at you For me to tell you how it seems, I would Standing in grey lantern light
(I would) Mavis looking sexy through her dress, it shines Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines (And she says)
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do If I start this small debate The centre of the universe is gone for sale So my melody should fall The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should Standing in grey lantern light (I should)
Mavis looking sexy through her dress, it shines Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines (And she says)
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do
