13 EP -- Electric Man

ELECTRIC MAN (SINGLE EDIT)

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss

With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything I touch
Just falls to bits

So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So I took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me

THE DRIFTERS

You never heard this one from me
I wanted to belong to what I fear
And we're supposed to laugh it off
We're very limited in honesty

A sense of belonging just for once in my life
I thought you were God and Elvis rolled into one
This is my life it's all I have

Repeat after me we're drifting
Repeat after me we're drifting
'Cos we know
My life is still my own

There's no connection to my past
And if it's hurting me, it's teaching me
You took your pill today for sure
You're desperate for your friends to like you more

When Kennedy spoke you'd hear America sigh
The poor seeking solace in their God that's above
We scream and we fight, it's all we have

If I were a girl and you were born as a boy
I'd know I'm still here when someone's hurting me badly
Failure's beautiful to me

THE APARTMENT

He lives in the flat below
In the dead of night, hammering
Disturbing me
I'm scared and he frightens me
Never puts his rubbish out
We've never met
I spoke to him just through the vent
I heard him and I know that...

He lives below me
I think that I know him
It's the man in the apartment below
And I know that...
He lives below me
I think that I know him
It's the man in the apartment below

He is ex-directory
So nobody can bother him
He's occupied
He worries me, intriguing me
Saw him in the corridor
But it was dark, we never spoke
Didn't see his face
I was quite relieved and I know that...

ELECTRIC MAN (ALBUM VERSION)

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss

With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything I touch
Just falls to bits

So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So I took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Sunshine, sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(repeats to fade)

ELECTRIC MAN (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss

With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything I touch
Just falls to bits

So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So I took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Ooo-ooh, ooh-ooh, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooo-ooh, ooh-ooh, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
