Ed Harcourt - The Man That Time Forgot lyrics

rate me

He's the man that time forgot

Put your eye to the keyhole

Tied his future in a knot

Pushed it out to see

And like a tyrant on his deathbed

He keeps on breathing

She remembers what he said

When he fell in the gutter

"Not even all the tea in China

Can pull me out of here"

And like a boxer who is blinded

He keeps on fighting

I never meant to cause you pain

I'd like the chance to start again

And everyone I love has mostly given up

And like it or not

I'm the man that time forgot

With a ticket in his hand

He stands on the platform

But the train it never comes

So he teeters down the track

And like a deer that's just been wounded

He's knows that it's over

I never meant to cause you pain

I'd like the chance to start again

And everyone I love has mostly given up

And like it or not

I'm the man that time forgot

Please don't remember me this way, my darling

Don't you remember me this way sweet darling

Shut out your memories till they fade sweet darling

Please don't remember me this way

My darling

Mmmm

And like it or not

I'm the man that time forgot
