Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
------------------------------------------here's a classic problem with bernard's lyrics. when looked at closely, they don't mean shit. they're forced, childish and for the most part, meaningless. he's still stuck in the shadow of ian curtis, happy to keep the dark and angry tone but unable to properly express himself. it's best to just abstract every line and appreciate how it sounds and the emotion in his voice.
I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret
----------------------------------------the last 4 lines of this verse are my favorites in the whole song. sounds so ancient to "receive someone's message". makes me think of someone isolated from society and hellbent on revenge. still, it's best to just enjoy the venom barny's spittin and leave the meaning alone.
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees
--------------------------------------seriously, who cares about the lyrics, this song is ALL ABOUT PETER HOOK.
Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Ow Ow
I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)
--------------------------------- say it with me: PETER HOOK RULES
