About Electric Man

"Electric Man" is a song by the English alternative rock band Mansun. The song was written by band-leader Paul Draper. It was recorded and produced by Hugh Padgham with co-producer Michael Hunter during sessions for the group's third studio album. The song was released as the second single in 2000 from the group's third album, Little Kix. The single disappointed commercially reaching the modest peak of #23 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Electric Man" was directed by Grant Gee. Draper largely disowned the song along with the majority of Mansun's third album. In the liner-notes to Legacy: The Best of Mansun, Draper remarks that the song was his attempt to 'lighten up' after the insular Six album: 'Where can we go next after Six? I Know! Vaudeville, The 50s, The Beach Boys.... Morecambe and Wise?! This track is my homage to Eric and Ernie.'

You were the seven deadly sins  Making sense in your 'screw me' dress  The beautiful ones just slip away  To a mirror where we used to kiss    With your disco heartbeat  You're not even human  We're so electric  Do you have no passion?    Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man  Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man  To me    Everything I touch  Just falls to bits    So trust in me  It brings us close  Electric man  Will save our souls    Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man  Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man  To me    So I took advice and changed a little  Hope that others like me more  Hope that you would trust me once again  Once again, once again  I am lonely once again  I hope that you would trust me once again    Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man  Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man  To me    Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man  Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man  To me    Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man  Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man  Bring your sunshine, bring it to me  Sunshine, sunshine, bring it to me  Bring it to me, bring it to me  Bring it to me, bring it to me  La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah  Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
