Man With No Name

Written by Kirsty MacColl

Lyrics

The rain attacks my bedroom window
The thunder roars above
Tonight’s the night, well should have been
A night spent with my love

But the rain still pours above my head
And fills me with despair
What am I doing waiting for him?
The man with no name doesn’t care

When the time comes, who will reveal
The love I once had, and the way I now feel?
For the man with no name, I did love so well
So when the time comes, whom shall I tell?

I walk through this old lonely house
The tears fill up my eyes
How could I have fallen for his old tricks?
His cheating ways and lies

I know I should have read the signs
But he lured me to his lair
What am I doing waiting for him?
The man with no name doesn’t care

So when the time comes, who will reveal
The love I once had, and the way I now feel?
For the man with no name, I did love so well
So when the time comes, whom shall I tell?

He said that he would treat me right
He said he loved me so
But here I am waiting for him
But the man with no name doesn’t care
No, the man with no name doesn’t care

This song appeared as a bonus track on the special edition of Polydor’s Kirsty MacColl compilation. As CW2 says, “I must tell you though, you’re not missing much as you can probably tell by the shoddy lyrics.”
