'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

Feeling alone at The National Folk Festival Canberra New South Wales [with half a song, in the guiness tent] i saw a picture of him in all his rusty glory, and saw he was stood arms open all embracing, and it made me laugh?? I added a verse about my son and a verse about tony [my violin player] thenTony MADE me write different chord set....good song

Lyrics

There's no way left to ease the pain, my body does too much complaining, 
Just to raise a smile takes too much thought! 
Far past all my wide horizons, it isn't really that surprising, 
What I find is never what I sought. 

Others own reality, dreams are left for me it seems, 
Looking ‘round I cannot say I'm sad. 
Who needs such a strange disease, look away and do not see, 
Armoured in distinctly rusty cans. 


And I think I am alone some times, when I know it isn't true, 
Standing like the Angel of The North. 
And I think that I am done some times, and then again there's you, 
Standing like the Angel….el…..of the North…… 


Thicker than a mountain stream, just as real as any dream, 
Touching magic moments when you can. 
Life can be a funny thing, without even listening, 
You harmonise the essence of the man. 


I will not speak of other things, listen as the music rings. 
Come and join your aching soul with mine. 
Let me hide behind your face, help me to fill up my space, 
Sometimes every moment seems divine. 

And I think I am alone sometimes, when I know it isn't true; 
Standing like the Angel of the North. 
And I think that I am done some times, and then again there's you; 
Standing like the Angel…..Of the North..
