Selfish Man Songtext
von Flogging Molly

I don′t eat, I just devour, everyone in every hour
All is me is all I need and that's all that I care
Propelled through all this madness by your beauty and my sadness
I′ll never change or rearrange 'til I've finished what I started

And life leads me here
It showed me I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time you slipped through my hand
And I′ll never understand
Why I′m such a selfish man

Walk around me, not before me, I'll pretend not to ignore you
But I′ll compromise if I realize you can do something for me
I'm ugly and you know it, but you think though I′m a poet
So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time it gets me where I′m going


And life leads me here
It showed me I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time you slipped through my hand
And I'll never understand
No, I'll never understand
Why I′m such a selfish man

All I heard was an unearthly silence
Apart from the violence, explode in my head
Where all at once was this moment of beauty
No more since it slew me, no, never again, again, again

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

No, I′ll never understand
No, I'll never understand
Why I′m such a selfish man
Selfish man, selfish man
Selfish man, selfish man, selfish man

Oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah
