lyrics

I was a waiter, a cloud, never too proud.
I was good as I could in my own neighbourhood.
I was a singer in a town, I was kicked on and about.
I was a beggar on their gowns, the laugh of all the clowns.

I was a mender in a town, when the pirates came around.
I was a rich man, was I not? I had a golden watch.
I was a singer, a star, but I couldn’t play guitar.
I was the king in this town, when the flames came down.

It all will come round, but does it really count?
it all will come round, in this run down town, 
it all will come round, but does it, does it really count?

I was a hooker blabbermouth, before it all went south.
I was the crown of the town, the year it all came down.
I was a crook, a saint, we all look much the same
when you are two meters under ground, in this once great town.

I was a singer in a town long forsaken now.
I was a poem or a thought, oh please forget me not.
I was a crook, a saint, we all look much the same
when you’re two meters under ground, in this once great town.

about

The Man From Managra Athens, Greece

The Man came a long time ago from Managra island.
It was a small forgotten isle in the backwaters of the Mediterranean, or was it somewhere in the Indian sea?
No one seems to remember, or care.
Some say a nearby volcanic eruption wiped all traces of the Man's homeland.
The Man from Managra is also Coti K.'s songs project.
