Mansun – Harris Lyrics

Rock

On my estate was a man with a flag in his yard
And the country deluded him
He toed the establishment line

Like a statue, Harris smiled
Stood and smiled, Harris smiled

Harris smiles, Harris stares
The world goes by
He stood and died
Harris smiles, Harris died

Lancaster bombers are rusting in sheds in our land
While in Parliament Square there's a man, a statue in bronze
And the statue of Harris stared, stood and stared
Harris stares, Harris stares

Harris smiles, Harris stares
The world goes by
He stood and died
Harris smiles, Harris died

Counts himself lucky he's English and says it with pride
As he stares at the taxis and buses
Fumes are inside his prison
Where he'll sit for eternity trapped as a bigoted man
