lyrics

mr.everybody cannot do things in ordinary ways
he tries to fail but he still suceeds
and it's an awful play

he feels inside out on his own
it's quite sad
sunday sunday is far away in this mind

for a little too long money makes him crazy
and he feels all hollow inside
but sometimes you can see the ghost of what he's been
when the shivers are going down your spine
people don't let him be they expect more from him
when he should really give up and slow down
put him in a house, a very big house
so finally, he'll get peace at last

mr everybody is trapped in his life
no great escape from success
at least in his prime in '99
he deserved some respect

about

The Toy Commander Lille, France

The Toy Commander plays indie pop like he played with toys in his childhood. Mostly, it's cool. Sometimes, you don't understand what he's doing with a dinosaur in one hand and a tmnt action figure in the other.
