Liner Notes
|
Like many things on Mansun records the title of this track was changed at the last minute, jokingly. It was originally called 'Despairate [sic] Icons'. Where the band kicks in with the drums after the string intro was where it started when we originally recorded it, and then the strings were bolted on from a seperate session. I really wanted this as a single, but nobody else was keen, really. Written in various stages, with myself, and Dom Chad working out the strings in various stages, it was all joined together at the mastering session. Nobody had heard it in its full glory until it was mastered as it only existed as an idea in my head. I'd had the lyrics for a while, and originally the track segued into a song called 'The Most To Gain'. |

Lyrics
The Chad Who Loved Me
All come crashing down, your desperate icon You've got to gob on, your desperate icon You'll all come crashing in, your desperate icon You've got to gob on, your desperate icon
Am I a God or am I Jesus? Am I a man or am I a boy? Do I feel love or just possession? Do I feel holy or nothing at all?
You can't deny That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine And you can't deny That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine Sweet Jesus
lyrics by: Paul Draper
