'McManus'

A must for lovers of 'Acoustic Music' and incredible lyrics, thats what we are all about, I am a a poet who happens to play the guitar, nice ? and I mean everyw

I am singer/songwriter from the North West of England, I have just returned from 5 years in Australia where i had to leave my violin player, sadly. We played a great deal in Syney and the Central Coast of NSW. At the moment my band is re-grouping [good phrase] I am meeting a slide bass palyer, my son is playing piano etc and my daughter will be here to play second guitar/Harmonies soon, so look for the name, but it may be me alone, part of band, or even 'McManus' The band...whole family [with new grandson!!!] Listen to original acoustic songs, incredible lyrics, love life, self, relationships, politics and generally acoustic magic, you truly are not going to hear better songs than this band performs, or the passion with which the lyrics are presented, truly a good show if you like authenticity and real songs.

Story behind the song

The lines
'And all the smiles and shining eyes,
The search for wealth, the need for lies
The contradiction compromise
The painfull truth, the soft disguise

were a three o'clock in the morning thing, jumped out of bed. Lots of 3.00am stuff, including our er..'Blue Grass'?? 3.00 again.

Lyrics

I’m the man who looks for rainbows, in the middle of the storm. 
The man who looks for kindness in the middle of a war. 
In the desert without water, in a strange land without friends. 
The search to find something to love, it does not seem to end. 

And all the smiles and shining eyes, The search for wealth, the need for lies, 
The contradiction, compromise, the vengeful truth the soft disguise. 
Holding hands and dreaming, watching as a soul lies bleeding. 
Love would come as, such a sweet surprise. 


I always write my love songs in the sadness of despair. 
All the words are mournful, is there something I am missing here. 
Maybe its true for everyone, I know you can relate, 
To every tear that’s shed for things, that will always come too late. 

And the laughter in my memory, the things we want and do not need. 
The endless words the silent sleep, complexities from simple seeds. 
Staring in the candlelight, far from where pain fills the night, 
Love would come as just what I would need. 



I’m the man who wipes the mess up, with a silken handkerchief. 
The man who wants so much that nothing’s valuable you see. 
Far away but next to you, open eyes don’t see a thing. 
Waiting for a precious gift, no one wants to bring. 

And the little gifts so that mean so much, 
The proof of care that can be touched. 
The arguments the hidden looks, the happy day, the painful month. 
Discussions on the way we feel sadly knowing what is real. 
What a welcome love would get from me.
