“A Selfish Man” by Francis Lung – No Insights Here

      We have made no secret of the fact that a Wu Lyf concert in 2012 brought us one of our favorite concert memories. The performance of the song “We Bros” was electrifying. Unfortunately, the band members didn’t get along and soon split. We read that the recently released “A Selfish Man” by Francis Lung was written about the split. Hey, isn’t that Taylor Swift’s mode of song writing?

     We jumped on the song by Francis Lung, whose actual name is Tom McClung, ex-bassist of Wu Lyf. The genre doesn’t approach that of Wu Lyf, but that was the only insight into the inner circle of the dysfunctional band – McClung didn’t contribute heavily into their sound.

     Below is “We Bros” by Wu Lyf (trust us, it’s special when performed) and “A Selfish Man.”

Lyrics of “A Selfish Man”

Love again, go on

'Til dust and dawn

Ah they say you can’t come back

That’s why I never left

Ah they say you can’t come back

Babe that’s why I never left.

Never left.

You’ll never let me go

Dump me forever so

Give me what you can, give me another man.

But I don’t wanna know you,

Don’t wanna understand

I can’t let you go,

’cause I’m a selfish man!

When everything becomes too much

You have to leave the band

And it was not the plan

But I don’t wanna know you

Or wanna understand

I can’t let you go

’cause I’m a lover.

I said there was a full moon rising ahead

between death and life

And everything in between

Ah they say you can’t come back

That’s why I never left

Ah they say you can’t come back

Babe that’s why I never left

You’ll never let me go

Dump me forever so

Give me what you can, give me another man.

But I don’t wanna know you,

Don’t wanna understand

I can’t let you go,

’cause I’m a selfish man!

When everything becomes too much

You have to leave a band

And it was not the plan

But I don’t wanna know you

Or wanna understand

I can’t let you go

’cause I’m a lover.

’cause I’m a selfish man

I'll never let you go

Tell me forever so

Give me what you can

Give me another band

But I don’t wanna know you

Or wanna understand

I can’t let you go

’cause I’m a man.

When everything becomes too much

You have to leave the band

And it was not the plan.

But I don’t wanna know you

Or wanna understand

I can’t let you go

’cause I’m a lover.

Cause I'm a selfish man.

Do it again

(A selfish man)

Do it again!
