Mansun The Drifters Lyrics
The Drifters by Mansun
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
'Coz 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
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
'Coz 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
