This is an absolute classic. Why isnt this his most well known song? Probably one day some movie uses this song and it will become well known.......If anyone knows a song equally great as this one from Eels please respond.
She hides in the library reading Henry miller books 'til they flash the lights it's time to go When she was a little kid she said "dad, i don't know why I feel so penniless inside" She's on the promenade She's looking for a dress She's locked outside a world Just a manchester girl Oh I'll meet you there By the old newsstand Oh I'll meet you there tonight Shoot-out at the neighbor's house She pulls the covers on her head She's counting the shots as they go by And pandora's litter box Well it's gettin' mighty high That cat's gonna keep her up at night Another scary dream Another cigarette She's locked outside a world Just a manchester girl Oh I'll meet you there By the old newsstand Oh I'll meet you there tonight
I remember seeing Eels perform Not Ready Yet in an episode of 2 meter sessions back in the day. Is that recording available still? Would love to hear it again since it was what got me into Eels 22 years ago. Omg. So old...
It is so amazing wonderful and touching. The best song Eels ever performed. Would be nice when played at a live concert in this way
twelve thousands views for 8 years... it seems only the chosen ones got access to this masterpiece..

Tommy is such a great multi-instrumentalist, Eels weren't the same after his departure from the band
saw them in 1997, original line up, E, butch, tommy... one of the best gigs i've seen.... never found the sound of it anywhere.....
An unspeakably beautiful song. I had this on the Susan's house single and had almost forgotten it.
I believe the Beautiful Freak bonus CD also featured Manchester Girl. Loved the track ever since.

In a perfect world this song had 10 million clicks and just as many likes...
I'd go for 30 million : ) This can be compared to the best songs of Springsteen
How I love the horn in this wonderful peace... Just beautiful.
So nice
She hides in the library reading
Henry miller books
'til they flash the lights it's time to go
When she was a little kid she said
"dad, i don't know why
I feel so penniless inside"
She's on the promenade
She's looking for a dress
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh I'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh I'll meet you there tonight
Shoot-out at the neighbor's house
She pulls the covers on her head
She's counting the shots as they go by
And pandora's litter box
Well it's gettin' mighty high
That cat's gonna keep her up at night
Another scary dream
Another cigarette
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh I'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh I'll meet you there tonight
Manchester Girl from a good album with a lot of great songs on it - Broken Toy Shop.
Something about this performance that just makes you stop, shut up, and listen
Love this song!
I’ve still not forgiven them for cancelling their concert to go on TOTPs in 1998 that I was supposed to go to!

We all are :)
I found this: th-cam.com/video/NbwfyCo8QDQ/w-d-xo.html Is that what you were looking for?
@@ivanlazic I'm pretty sure that's it! Thank you so much! That was a trip to see and hear it again. :)
This is on Susan’s House and I’ve got this single
