about

Written by Sean Regan

lyrics

I love the way that you dress, oh you’re such a meticulous mess, well conversed in the latest fads but I must confess. I wish someone would fluoresend you straight to the depths of hell ‘cause vanity and pride’s the only thing at which you excel.

I don’t want to be scene I just need to be heard,
and I think there’s more to life than the clothes that you wear,
Dancing in a shallow grave

Did you read all of Camus? What you dropped out of art school too? Sophisticated dilettante I’m afraid it’s true. The superficial way you treat the world oh I how I detest your monosyllabic stanzas am I really meant to be impressed?

I don’t want to be scene I just need to be heard,
And I think there’s more to life than the clothes that you wear.
Never listen to a word that I say you’re dancing in a shallow grave
Never listen to a word that I say you’re dancing in a shallow grave

Well if you’re gonna be seen time to act like the herd,
The only way to be heard is to get with the scene I mean,
Nobody gives a damn about the things that you say,
And fitting in ain’t such a sin OK.
You need your skin tight drain pipe, get the right type,
Maybe some old tat, Trilby Hat, you’re looking all that,
With your A-line cut and a melancholy strut,
Everybody’s gonna love you ‘cause you’re just like me but…

I don’t want to be scene yeah, I just need to be heard,
But you’re never gonna give us a chance oh no, no, no…
I don’t want to be scene I just need to be heard,
And I think there’s more to life than the clothes that you wear.
Never listen to a word that I say you’re dancing in a shallow grave
Never listen to a word that I say you’re dancing in a shallow grave
