Strange days

Pin-ups, soap operas, natural disasters
Religion, murder, greed
This planet of martyred, masochistic sadists on trial by MTV
Immaculate virgins or various lovers before senility
My spider sense of battle of the bands
No one ever leaves
We all get the chance
In the world of strange

Penance for voyeurs
Porno for fighters
Your bullies playground bait
Losing your marbles
Losing your cherry with a schooltime mechanical date
Beatings and weddings and having your say
And knowing when to eat your cake
In poseur pants and skippy dance
No one ever leaves we all get the chance
In the world of strange

So don't go out
Stay home
Take care
'Cause things are quite deranged
So hide your head under the bedclothes
'Cause strange days are here again

Wages, employers, medics, and lawyers
The queen's speech on StNicholas day, hooray
Another birthday, try not to panic by drinking cheap cider on the beach
Weirdos round corners are getting hangovers by writing sad poetry
Bugs of romance
I'm in trance
No one ever leaves
We all get the chance
In the world of strange

You're not alone in your doubt
So grab your coat
You're going out
It's your national service as you should know
Drinking too much and throwing up in the road

Everywhere I look
We're living in the strangest way
Things are getting strange
