Lyrics »

Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks The night is so black that the darkness cooks Don't you come creepin' around - makin' me do things I don't want to Can't believe that you need my love so bad Come sneakin' around tryin' to drive me mad Bustin' in on my dreams - making me see things I don't wanna see break: 'Cause you're da Green Manalishi with the two prong crown All my tryin' is up - all your bringin' is down Just taking my love then slippin' away Leavin' me here just tryin' to keep from following you

Add your review of The Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown) here. Classic Rock Review written by Blues Kala, June 3rd, 2006 Epitomises late 60's Rock, as it moves into Prog. Rock. The Live version with Acoustic section in the middle is second to none. Pity Peter Green was spiked...
