The Man Who Came to Stay (also known as Man Who Came to Stay or The Band Who Came to Play) is a Babyshambles track, that was released as a B Side to both the 7" version and the CD version of their 2nd single, Killamangiro. The track is often a favourite among fans, often being requested at gigs, although not many sessions versions have ever been recorded by the band.
The instrumental introduction is reminiscent of "Incubation" by Joy Division.

There's a man who came to stay
The boy he replaced, disappeared without a trace...
Stole all my songs and my style away
No-one would say what they wanted to say
So he was king for a day..
If you sail into the sun
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole room tells you 'you are the one'
I defy you not to believe them, my son...
There's a man who came to stay...
Never showing on time
Out of his mind, diddly doo doo dine
Every single gig I play
Something's not right inside
Paranoia and pride, nowhere to hide...
If you sail into the sun, la la la la lala
Beware the eyes of green
And if the whole world tells you 'you are the one'
You must be hearing those voices again my son
If you sail into the sun
Please beware the eyes of green
And if it's all too much for you my son
