Evil Man Lyrics - Singles - Fatima Mansions

Born to refuse, and raised to exclude 

Fed myths to disprove by post-colonial prudes: 

The city was evil, some country was evil, the hippies were evil, 

the writers were evil, the homeless were evil, the workers were evil 

the summer was evil, independence was evil 

Grown and released with the heart of a thief 

Wanting only to seek the very gentlest of streets where 

nobody's evil, nobody's evil.... 

So easy to hate / Just look at the face 

The nose in the clouds / The bulge in the brow 

and the head on backwards 

The need to escape all visible space / Continuous drift to depend and dismiss 

and the head on backwards 

(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, man we'll get even, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) Evil man! 

Here comes the fun / Blink and it's gone 

See what you've won / The end's just begun 

I am the demon, I am the demon... 

The morning is hell / The night full of blood 

Each sickening smell announces a flood / in a human holiday 

No wall at the back / No light on the map 

No fiction, no fact / no fibre now...chaff / in the human holiday--C 

(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil demon, quit while you're even, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) Evil man! 

I'm clearing my desk / It's time for a rest 

Tomorrow is dead, so the worms have been fed 

with the head on thatwards 

The washing of hands / The kissing of feet 

The failure which brands / Nightmare without sleep 

To any fool with a grievance, it's open season! 

(Evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, quit while you're even, evil, evil) Evil man! 

(Evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) Evil man!
