Manfred Mann's Earth Band - For You Lyrics






Princess cards she sends me with her regards,
Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpet baggers off my back
Girl give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
Oh I came for so much more
And I know you that too
And I know you know that's true

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

Crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now
While you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
With their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now
If only you could ask
Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
And you should know that's true
You should know that too

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
You should know that's true
You should know that too

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

    Am I the only one who wishes to have been born in a different decade ?

    M.... H....

    No, I'm born in this decade and I feel very comfortable! Chris Thompson, Bruce Springsteen and all the others are still
    and always in my ears is just great! Good ol' music, no rap, it's musical heaven,from which I can pick the most
    juicy fruits. I love it over the centuries!

    M.... H....

    Sure that music is timeless and I just can’t listen to that modern rap and pop shit but wouldn’t it be great to see those bands live in the 70s ? My dad went to a concert when he was young in the 70s and the line-up was awesome ! Barclay James Harvest, the police and Crosby Stills Nash and Young and many more, I‘m so jealous ...

  28. P.... A....

    The bleeched Steve Wonder? 🤣

    Springsteen song...thx Bruce

    I.... ....

  34. M.... S....

  40. R.... L....

  45. C.... m....

    Saudade desse som

  46. S.... M....

    Eröffnungslied von so vielen Feten....))))))

  47. w.... ....

    So powerful...

  48. w.... G....

    De Colección, una de las voces más grandes del rock. Inolvidable por siempre, Manfred Manns for ever en nuestros corazones.... abrazos desde Santiago de Chile.

  49. C.... W....

    I finally saw them live in a special concert in norderstedt, germany a few days ago. It was so good

  50. F.... S....

    Always a Legend

  51. T.... ....

    He's a big guy

  52. f.... ....

    It looks like performance is fake and was staged for TV. Manfred Mann plays lead piano riff on Arp Omni synthesizer, which is not capable of producing piano-type sound . I doubt instruments are plugged at all

    f.... ....

    Why even mention this is playback? What is the point? Everyone whom has something between their ears knows this and it does not matter! This is a great recording by an amazing band!

    f.... ....

    @Mick Nordström You say you knew it, others don't - I just learned that this was an Arp Omni synth, this was more interesting than your unfriendly remark.

  53. M.... ....

    what keyboard does he play?

    M.... ....

    Menthol-Bonbon
    Up to down:
    Moog Minimoog
    ARP Omni
    Yamaha CP 70

    M.... ....

    Olivier Neger Thanks! But it is weird that he plays the piano sound on the ARP and not the CP70.

    M.... ....

    @Menthol-Bonbon its all playback

  54. A.... K....

    you are very good manfred mann's

  55. J.... A....

    MAGNIFICO SOLO

  56. j.... l....

    fantastic!

  57. D.... ....

    Ah cocaine! without it the eighties would never have happened :)

  58. p.... h....

    oh my god i forgot 1 p Thompson

  59. p.... h....

    the one and only Chris Thomson

  60. V.... N....

    My wife at this moment in ICU in critical condition fighting for her life. Pray for her please!

    V.... N....

    Vadim Nisnevich It's good to chat to someone from a different country. Hope you have a great life.

    V.... N....

    The tragedies you sometimes encounter in YouTube comments :(
    Hope you and your loved ones are doing well. Wish you all the best
