AFI - Man In A Suitcase Lyrics






I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell, I know something i won't tell.

I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Another key for my collection
For security I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well
The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man in a suitcase

  1. M.... M....

    For anyone wanting a better quality version, I uploaded it on my channel.


    https://youtu.be/-k2psBf0lrE

  2. A.... ....

    anyone kmow this song titled something like _____ and the ____ . It was on youtube and might have been taken down because i cant find it in anynplaylists. whatever it was i cant find it on any list of afi songs. but it was 100% a later era afi recording and it was a good one.

  3. S.... ....

    I might get around to uploading a cleaner version of this

    S.... ....

    SlashMan.EXE could you still do it? I’m dying to hear a high quality version

    S.... ....

    Please do it. I can't find it anywhere.

  4. K.... F....

    i used to love this song.

  5. B.... ....

    Potato quality.

    B.... ....

    Unfortunately, yeah. But this was uploaded a century ago, before YouTube got its shit together and before I even had a decent cut of this.

    B.... ....

    @Matt Weilert Actually its about as decent as most for a Vinyl recording. This guy is just being an autistic neckbeard.

  6. F.... B....

    I have the original Wingnut release on CD and this song is included as a secret song.

    F.... B....

    Yeah definitely was released on more than just the Vinyl. It just wasn't labeled on the last track of the CD like lot of AFI songs.

    F.... B....

    I also have this. This version of the album does not include AFI's cover of "Open Your Eyes." I had the Wingnut version, all my friends had the Nitro version.

  7. i.... ....

    ...Why did you need to write in green on the album art that it's kinda rare? You could've just written that in the description, or the title.

  8. t.... ....

    Can't believe I've never heard this!!

  9. T.... ....

    THIS SONG WAS ON THE CD VERSION TOO. I HAD IT.

    T.... ....

    Tarantuloco the intro was. The song was not

  10. x.... ....

    Its called "Skanking".

  11. b.... ....

    @canesrule96 definitely haha i forgot where i read it but davey said they hated the ska-punk scene in the bay haha

  12. E.... ....

    @vampchick788 he didn't join the band until later

  13. b.... ....

    Respectable cover of my favorite Police song :)

  14. S.... ....

    i had this album. too bad this was only on the vinyl :/

  15. n.... ....

    I miss the old AFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    n.... ....

    Man you must hate them now

  16. M.... ....

    @AFIownage If you haven't heard a band that sounds anything like them then you obviously dont listen to music. They still kick ass though

  17. H.... A....

    @Claytonian15

    You can say the same thing about the older material, you can walk out of a record store with 50 other hardcore punk albums that sound nearly the same. I think Their stuff from Black Sails and Art of Drowning-era are the most distinct they have made, yet that sound is almost entirely borrowed from Glenn Danzig.

  18. M.... ....

    That dosnt even sound like Davey singing

  19. T.... M....

    @almightyseancore And even then it kicksass

  20. L.... C....

    I NEED to get this on vinyl now!

  21. r.... ....

    @bobokk it was called anthems for insubordinates. its written on the bak of answer that and stay fashionable in small print.

  22. N.... ....

    It almost sounds like his voice is cracking, but I really like it. It adds so much to the song, I haven't even heard the orignial, but I love this cover. Love the ending..."Fuck this shit, no one is gonna hear this anyway".

  23. J.... K....

    That bastard knew and wouldn't tell me there was a hidden track.

  24. C.... L....

    hmm, this is a really good song. <3

  25. g.... ....

    i love davey's hair...

  26. t.... ....

    that's what happends when you try playing ska with bad overdrive setting

  27. h.... b....

    it songs like the amp is messed up

  28. H.... T....

    nope dude ian's drummer made the flag

  29. C.... K....

    because of the drummer? i thought it was because of Ian who made a parody of the DC flag,
    if you have more info...

    peace
    xanthox

  30. H.... T....

    wow spell check..*thanks..*just

  31. H.... T....

    its kool man

  32. H.... T....

    sometimes its 3 because of the drummer of minor threat

  33. H.... T....

    thenks so the three x's are for straightedgers eh? im edge and i judt learned that

  34. H.... T....

    what is the song which has the video where dave is in the trunk of a car

  35. K.... ....

    Yea it was "Asking For It" at first for sure. And it was a Hardcore band! I love this song dude

  36. q.... ....

    could you send me it?
    please?

  37. N.... ....

    It was never Asking For It...holy crap, idk..It was ALWAYS A Fire Inside..WTF???

    N.... ....

    it was also Anthems for Insoburdinates, that was their old mailing address anyway.

  38. D.... O....

    its on the original release of the album on Wingnut Records before they got signed to Nitro...

  39. M.... W....

    Actually, it didn't make it to the CD, so most people don't have it. It is only on the vinyl.

  40. d.... ....

    now this is when AFI was good what happend?

  41. M.... W....

    They are far from emo
    And even though they are currently a very mainstream band
    They still carve their own sound
    I have never heard any band that sounds remotely like them

  42. H.... ....

    Ska's dead. . . New AFI can eat a bag of dicks, but Ska is desperate.

  43. J.... M....

    I respect their musical influences as they are a good band being they are professional. I'm not particularly fond of this version but this is a good post. Cheers!

  44. M.... W....

    Well, it can't be bought in stores, and being that most people only get music from iTunes and stores, it is rare

  45. C.... H....

    nah, its a good effort, but i still think The Police r better

  46. m.... ....

    this is a little too much ska for me

  47. D.... ....

    i dunno bout you guys, but this songs gunna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day

  48. p.... ....

    i dont know why they didnt put this cover on the CD only a short clip of the intro is played like 15 minutes after high school football hero is over

  49. g.... ....

    oh thanks.

  50. g.... ....

    what's the thing at the beginning from?

  51. G.... ....

    I know something i will tell: great song and band!

  52. b.... ....

    The original Police version is miles better.

  53. p.... ....

    ah i just realized in the description this is a cover

  54. p.... ....

    this is more of a ska-punk sound its fucking awesome

  55. A.... ....

    It's funny, this song sounds so odd being performed by old AFI, but would totally fit with modern AFI. And wow Davey sounds younger than usual. thanks for posting

  56. J.... ....

    Excelent cover!!

  57. M.... W....
