Manic Street Preachers - What's My Name Lyrics

Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"What's My Name"
(originally by The Clash)

What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm not who I want to be
I tried spot cream and I tried it all I'm crawling up the wall!

What's my name name...name....name?

I tried to join a ping-pong club
Sign on the door said all full up!
I got nicked, fighting in the road
And the judge didn't even know

What's my name?
Name
Name

Dad got pissed so I got clocked
Couldn't hear the Tannoy so he lost the lot
Offers Mum a bribe through the letter box
Drives you fucking mad

What's my name?
Name
Name

Now I'm 'round the back of your house at night
Peeping in the window. Are you sleeping tight?
I laugh at your locks with my colloid strip
And you won't know who came

What's my name?
Name
Name

What's my name?
Name
Name
