Mansun – Stripper Vicar Lyrics 17 years ago
What an amazing song. The meaning is pretty damn obvious, but wow...

basically, I'll echo what paul_banks said. "melodic yet it hints at this weird deeper menace". Well put.

Mansun – Wide Open Space Lyrics 17 years ago
Reading through the lyrics, I get the feeling of loneliness/emptiness... but then there's the "it's all about drugs!!1!1" theory too, which is quite probable.

Mansun – Disgusting Lyrics 17 years ago
paul_banks, I just discovered Mansun today. I actually even thought they were a newish band until I did some research. But I agree completely: ahead of their time and SO GOOD.

Onto the song itself, I have two schools of thought with this: a) it's about someone (everyone?) around them telling them they should have "regrets" or shouldn't be so happy or something along those lines. Hence the change of tone when he sings "you're so full of venom that you'll spit into your own sweet face" which is sort of like the singer's t own houghts on the "disgusting" comments by the others.

or... b) he's singing about himself... self-loathing?

Thoughts, anyone?
