Eels - Ordinary Man Lyrics






Well, it's another warm day in the city of cold hearts

They all just play the part of who they are
And I'm here on my own, I'd rather be alone
Than try to be someone that I'm not

And you seem like someone who could
Appreciate the fact that I'm no ordinary man

And it's misunderstood what you've heard about me

I see why you would doubt me, but know this
No one has the right until they've fought my fight
To understand just where I'm coming from

And it's that fight that brought me here today
Exactly as I am no ordinary man

Well, it's another warm day in the city of cold hearts
It ends before it starts in their maze
But you, you're not like that, you know where it's at
The only rules you follow are your own

And you seem like someone who could
Appreciate the fact that I'm no ordinary man

    Well, it's another warm day in the city of cold hearts

    They all just play the part of who they are
    And I'm here on my own, I'd rather be alone
    Than try to be someone that I'm not

    Appreciate the fact that I'm no ordinary man

    And it's misunderstood what you've heard about me

    Anyone know any songs with the same vibe & sound to it? What genre would this kind of song fall under?

    probably Indie Rock

    Well, it's another warm day in the city of cold hearts

  15. T.... G....

    Who all came from Good Doctor?

    T.... G....

    yes, me

    T.... G....

    Sorry but "who all" is one of the dumbest and naive things I've read. If English is your second language I apologise and God bless you! :)

    T.... G....

    Me 😂

  16. P.... B....

    That new show reminded me of this song. I was big into the eels like 15 years ago! Remember!

    P.... B....

    Pumpkineck Bort the good doctor?

    P.... B....

    The Good Doctor!!!!

  17. E.... J....

    Flawless

  18. b.... d....

    I played this song to a chick I knew and told her that it perfectly described me, we listened in silence. like a week later I heard she broke up with her boyfriend. Something to do with this? idk. (I didn't try and get with her but like a month or 2 she got back together with previous guy). If so "with great power comes great responsibility".

    b.... d....

    Got get her tiger

  19. T.... L....

    Songs good, but not composed by E like he claims on the CD. This is Johann Pachelbels Canon in D.

    T.... L....

    @Topi Linkala so is every song? watch the four chord progression videos...

    T.... L....

    @Topi Linkala The hell, no it's not. It's not even the same chord structure let alone the same melody.

  20. T.... L....

    I have to elaborate that.

    Just listen Pachelbel's Canon in D (you can find one version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOA-2hl1Vbc).

    Why did Mark Oliver Everet put this composion in his own name? Was he afraid that someone might learn that baroque music is worth to listen? Was he shamed that he borrowed old composition? I'd really like to know what he was thinking when he decided not to share us the information.

    There is no question about copyright or royalty paymants, so why not give due to a man who has been dead more than three hundreds years but made such music that people still listen it.

    T.... L....

    im 2 years late but having listened to only this among his songs it is possible that he didnt notice it or just didnt think it was relevant as everyone builds on the works of those they admire sometimes not even consciously

  21. T.... L....

    E has listened his Pachelbel.

  22. P.... C....

    too good

  23. V.... L....

    I can sure appreciate the fact that Marc Oliver Everett is no ordinary man. Great moment listening to this, cheers.

  24. z.... n....

    thanks for that song, e!
    it s balm for my heart

  25. P.... ....

    Just discovered this band. Beautiful album, what should I get next?

  26. m.... ....

    great song
    notice it's Man not Men

  27. T.... S....

    yes you are about to read this...i have literaly just found this band and my God are they good. i have just listened to all there albums.this has to be the song for me right enough... ALBUMS are purchased

  28. l.... ....

    although I love the song, 1:37 was a terrible second. it's soooo ugly

  29. a.... ....

    someone didn't kill it, but rather poisoned it. Katy Perry is just that pop star we got. Justin Bieber just won't go away, fun is the most annoying pop band ever. And it dares call itself "indie". It makes me sick. This is indie. And it's beautiful At least Adele and Gotye are ok.

  30. c.... ....

    @Dallebp what happened to popular music?

  31. M.... C....

    It totally describes what I think to myself all the time!

  32. I.... ....

    Incredible song, easy and fantastic!

  33. a.... ....

    E is def no "ordinary man". no one makes more meaningful, beautiful and poignant music.

  34. w.... ....

    this song is soooo beautiful

    and you seem like someone who could appreciate the fact that I´m no ordinary man

  35. e.... f....

    someone sang this...and it fits him perfectly.... and that person is close to my heart, and will be till my last breath!

  36. d.... ....

    Hombre Lobo is a fantastic album, with a lot of beautiful songs... Eels.. Great as always... My top 1 artist...

  37. A.... K....

    love it my ex has a cold heart !

  38. M.... ....

    yeah u can say the same to all the tracks..been quite a while since i last heard an album like this..another masterpiece from the music-maestro.

  39. P.... ....

    what a great song
