Soft Cell - Mr Self Destruct Lyrics
Always the dreamerBut never the deadYou had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your headAnyone in your wayWas a spike in your sideWith one hand in the walletYou took them for the rideYour could look in their eyesYou perfected a lieNever gave them the chance to question whyIf they hit on youThen you slammed them right backTo hell with the coolIt was up and attackYou should have seen you when you were 18You were the toughest little f...I've ever seenAnd with each downfall you turned 10 foot tallThe biggest kick in the balls you've ever beenAnd Dr Diablo's on his rounds againLooking for blameAnd you know that he'll diagnose pain againYeah pain againNarrow the sorrowSick of the slickOf the doors of discovery you had you pickIf they hit on youThen you hit right backNever keeping their coolIt was up and attackYour could look in their eyesYou perfected a lieNever gave them the chance to question whyIf they hit on youThen you slammed them right backTo hell with the coolIt was up and attackWhoa you're feeling so torrid todayLife has gone wildNo one blocks out the wayYou even look good - so they sayA new lease of life flowed through your body today(not that looks are all to go by - but anyway)Shooting the A, Shooting the A, Shooting the AThe stuff is freeAnd you can now go to townBuilding your life up and smashing it downBuilding your life up and smashing it downYou couldn't escape from this fact of lifeThat existing makes you a messBut every decision or feeling or reasonCauses some sort of mental distressYour could look in their eyesYou perfected a lieNever gave them the chance to question whyIf they hit on youThen you slammed them right backTo hell with the coolIt was up and attackLeave the cool for the foolLeave the cool for the foolLeave the cool for the foolLeave the cool for the foolHey heyYou couldn't escape from this fact of lifeThat existing makes you a messBut every decision or feeling or reasonCauses some sort of mental distressYour could look in their eyesYou perfected a lieNever gave them the chance to question whyIf they hit on youThen you slammed them right backTo hell with the coolIt was up and attackHeyBuilding your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A)And smashing it downBuilding your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A)And smashing it downBuilding your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A)And smashing it down
