Disgusting
Mansun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back off, off
You're the stranger in here, with your stranger face
You know that everyone can see is false
Something's rotten with you, you show no regret
Like we all know that you're supposed to do
I hope you've changed the way you think
I hope you've changed the clothes you wear
I hope that you regret these things you say
I hope in time that things will change
I think you know that anyway
You've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You're disgusting, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You know you've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You've been disgusting
You're the outcast here, you're the native of a place
You been and moved, excluded too
We create a tension, when we were the same
There was a pressure that would force you to
I hope you've changed the way you think
I hope you've changed the clothes you wear
I hope that you regret these things you say
I hope in time that things will change
I think you know that anyway
You've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You're disgusting
You know you've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You are disgusting
You're so full of venom that you'll spit into you're own sweet face
Oh
I hope you've changed the way you think
I hope you've changed the clothes you wear
I hope that you regret those things you say
I hope in time that things will change
I think you know that anyway
You've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You're disgusting, ah-ah-ah-ah
You know you've been disgraceful, it's so regretful
You're disgusting, oh-oh-oh-oh...
It's so disgraceful, you're disrespectful
You are disgusting, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Disgusting, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Disgusting
You've been disgusting




You know you've been disgusting
It's so regretful
