The band officially formed on September 16, 1989 as a four-man group. The fourth man and original bassist, 上田ケンジ (Kenji Ueda), left the band in 1992 to become a music producer and do solo work.

Please Mr. Lostman
The Pillows Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

足りない頭を首にぶら下げて
道で撒かれる夢を踏んづけてる
僕らで膨らませたギリギリの世界
割れても潰れてもいいから
触りたい輝きに
年を取って忘れられてく
痩せた枯木に
Please Mr.Lostman 星が咲いていた

Please Mr.Lostman
短い手足を無理矢理のばして
やっと間に合う高さの安らぎに
ふざけて忍び込んだけど
子猫じゃない
自分ですぐに出てゆくさ
放しなよその手を
優しさも痛みも感じない
季節はそっと
Please Mr.Lostman 隠れていよう
Please Mr.Lostman ...

年を取って忘れられてく
痩せた枯木に
Please Mr.Lostman 星が咲いていた
Please Mr.Lostman
ねじ曲がった時代なんて関係ない
僕らは出会った
Please Mr.Lostman
それが全てだろう
Please Mr.Lostman ...

足りない頭を首にぶら下げて
