Skyclad - Penny Dreadful Lyrics
Forgive me if I'm out of order -this new 'music' has no soul.It may be good for making money,(sadly that is not my goal).Integrity and honesty are words that you don't understand,but you're the best - it says so in the penny dreadful in your hand.I saw you in a magazine,they're calling you messiah.They must be living in a dream -they couldn't be more wrong.If we'd played this riff more punkthen maybe we'd have had a million seller.but this piper's tune is not for sale,(I'm glad to say I'm not that kind of fella).D.J.s, V.J.s, pimps and trollops,never mind music - this is bollocks.I saw you in a magazine,they're calling you messiah.They must be living in a dream -they couldn't be more wrong.Turn on, tune up, cash in, sell out.Stand your ground behind the times -and refuse to follow fashion.Write your poetry with anger,(and then sing it with a passion).Painted faces in a circus - images that spring to mind,when I read my penny dreadful filled with pictures of your kind.I saw you in a magazine,they're calling you messiah.They must be living in a dream -they couldn't be more wrong.Commercial suicide's appealing afterten years on this losing streak.'Cause I'd rather be called sour and bitterthan be deemed the flavour of the weak.I saw you in a magazine,they're calling you messiah.They must be living in a dream -they couldn't be more wrong.Extra, extra, read all about it!I saw you in a magazine,they're calling you messiah.They must be living in a dream -they couldn't be more wrong
