Mansun - When The Wind Blows

Probably the best b-side they've ever written.

Lyrics:
Wireless tells us all
Looks like there's a war
Both of us been through this before dear
Put on our gas masks and pray dear
But at least we've got each other

I'll still love you when the wind blows through
Ive been through this before
I'll still love you when the wind
When the wind blows through

Outside all is cold
It looks like theres no war
But my hairs falling out at its root dear
Things will blow over any day dear
And at least we've got each other

Absolutely fantastic! B-side? Really? I could only aspire to write a b-side of this caliber! Mansun are truly one of the best bands of our time.

@dingoeatbaby you're right! most of their b-sides are way too brilliant to deserve this category really. you know some bands just fill in the space with crappy remixes whatsoever.

I love this song! i have the original cd from the negative EP, 1998. I remember buying this on the spur of the moment and haven't ever regretted it! I love this song so much... Got me through some rather awkward situations. Thanks for the post.

you're welcome! of course u don't regret buying any Mansun CDs : ) they all are gems!

@balletdancerzzz This is not probably the best b side they have ever written, This IS the best b-side they have ever written, i would go as far to say one of the best b-sides ever. Top upload mate :)

[MrDevo1980]

one of the best bands ever too come out of england.

[SpacehotelMusic]

got all the mansun eps from when they were released, twice as my gf has them too - and yeah, pretty much the most consistent quality EP/B-sides of any band in recent history.

Some beautiful photos accompanying this lovely song! Any URLs for them would be gratefully received! ;) X

Best b-side they ever did. Mansun fan since '96, saw them 8 times and met them, sadly no longer in touch with Paul, but they'll always be one of my favourite bands.

[TheDigitalGeisha]

Wow amazing... This has to be about /inspired from the film right?......

Outside all is cold

It looks like theres no war

But my hairs falling out at its root dear

Things will blow over any day dear

And at least we've got each other

The EPs from the first two albums are fantastic. You can get another three albums' worth of stuff from their B sides alone that rate better than Little Kixx.

So true! Only trouble is, it's virtually impossible to find any of Mansun's material in the U.S. I have all three albums, but finding their singles or e.p.'s is unheard of!
