Threemey - BIG MAN Lyrics

I'm looking in the mirror
Baring my teeth
Making sure they're clean so no one stares when I speak
I gotta fix my hair
Or what I have left
Look good on the outside cause no one cares what's underneath
It's a big night on the town and all the boys are out
I can't wait to go home I f*cking hate the taste of stout
I'm a dry shite I hate going outside
I'd rather be back at home watching nationwide
The door to the pub opens with a sneer
As the big man himself has come to join us for a beer
There's a thunderous applause
Women start to scream
Everybody's life is better that now he's here
He smiles at everyone and buys us all a round
I never knew that somebody could be this f*cking sound
How is he so perfect?
Why can't that be me?
I can't live in peace when this man is around

You're such a big man
I'm such a big fan
Everybody loves you from the neighbours to my nan
I'd ask you for a photo cause you've such a perfect life
And I'd call you not the guards if someone robs me with a knife

I'm living on the edge
Spiteful to the core
It's hurting me to stay I might just slip out the back door
This happens every night when big man comes around
I'll hang back at the bar while they insult the dancefloor
He thinks he's so great with his well groomed hair
His skinny jeans and his mam's knitwear
Like he owns the room as if he's Robert De Niro
And for some f*cking reason people thinks he's a hero
I can see through it
I can see the lies
He's not tricking me with his gorgeous brown eyes
He'll put his arm around you and call you his mate
But it's all just a front a pathetic disguise
Everything's for show but it's getting rave reviews
No one will believe me when I say it's all a ruse
I wanna get sick when I smell his cologne
I've gotta act now and remove him from his throne

You're such a big man
I'm such a big fan
Did you go to Portugal to get that perfect tan?
My mother left my old man cause you asked her how she was
And the whole town wants your number cause they just want to be buds

I've gotta do it now
There isn't much time
If no one sees it happening it isn't a crime
I'll lure him outside
Offer him a smoke
Make him feel safe and that everything is fine
He'll make some small talk and ask me how I am
I'll barely get to answer and I'll get some anecdote
Then he'll tell me about his job and how he's so great
But then I'll interrupt him when I slit his f*cking throat
He'll grab me by the arms, confusion in his eyes
He didn't expect that this is how he dies
I'll throw him to the ground where draws his final breath
His fear is negated by the cold embrace of death
With a kitchen knife I'm cutting off his face
And I'll wear it like a mask to give his life a taste
Now they all will love me
This is what I've become
The big man is dead and I've taken his place

Now I'm the big man
You're such a big fan
Everybody loves me from Cork city to Japan
You think you've met your savior but I'm standing right here
And if you don't accept me then I'll make you disappear

Now I'm the big man
You're such a big fan
Everybody loves me from Cork city to Japan
You think you've met your savior but I'm standing right here
And if you don't accept me then I'll make you disappear
