I had visions, I was in them I was looking into the mirror, To see a little bit clearer, The rottenness and evil in me, Fingertips have memories Mine can't forget the curves of your body, And when i feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see, Who salutes(But no one ever does)
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell!
Been around the world and found That only stupid people are breeding, The cretins cloning and feeding, And I don't even own a TV Put me in the hospital for nerves And then they had to commit me, You told them all i was crazy, They cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, (God damn you)
I'm not sick but I'm not well, And I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well And it's a sin to live so well
I wanna publish zines, And rage against machines, I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine, The trivial sublime, I'd like to turn off time And kill my mind, You kill my mind,
Paranoia paranoia! Everybody's coming to get me, Just say you never met me, I'm runnin' underground with the moles, (Digging holes) Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring! But if you're bored then you're boring, The agony and the irony, they're killing me
I'm not sick but I'm not well and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well and it's a sin to live this well
One, two, three, four! (Guitar Solo)

Huh, the lead singer wrote a 33 1/3 book about Joni Mitchell.
(not sure that Todd in the Shadows video is a hate watch though, since Todd seems to be on the correct side of this debate)

i saw him open for Robyn Hitchcock 12 or so years ago, he had some nice tunes and sang harmony during some of Robyn's set. Also met him years later at a book swap at a bar, iirc he brought several Philip Roth books.

vg just be glad your brain didn't choose this song as its permanent wake-up alarm. I don't honestly think "Sex and Candy" would have been an improvement but I never got the choice.

^ Interesting.
I may not have heard this in full since before Peep Show was a thing. Watching the video now (for the first time, IIRC) I just keep hearing where the Peep Show edits AREN'T.
I really don't hate it. Judge me harshly if you must.
