| SO, HELP ME (MUSCUTT) (AUGUST 2000) You say I�m incapable of doing anything on my own so help me please you know I�m lost without you You say I�m not right for you but if it took you this long to realise then I couldn�t have been so bad for you Was it true did you lie will we live or will we die just help me get through this and I�ll love you even more So help me please help me to walk on through I suppose you could say this was another of the infamous �relationship� songs (another one? Fucking hell!), but it can be applied to pretty much anything � if you�re lost and looking for a direction to go in, this song is explaining that. Except for the �I�ll love you even more� part � that�s relating to the relationship idea of the song. EMETOPHILIA (MUSCUTT) (AUGUST 2000) Nobody understands you they say you�re going insane but if they knew the meanings of your perverted leanings They wouldn�t talk to you no more Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier Because not everybody likes it that way so will you tell him what the word means on it�s own Because he has a right to know about the nights you spend doing sick, sick things Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier because not everybody likes it that way And when you told him they regarded you with looks of surprise Some turned away and brought up lunch from today as you sighed and said come what may Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier because not everybody likes it that way Seeing as this song was written as I was coming out of the initial phase of song writing, this one is quite a silly song � for those who don�t know, �emetophilia� is becoming aroused by vomit. I think. Don�t hold me to it 100%, but I�m pretty sure that�s what it means. There are a whole load of other �philias� that I was reading about in a book, autophilia was another, but emetophilia was the one I thought I�d write a song about. |
| TOY SOLDIERS (MUSCUTT) (AUGUST 2000) Forget about me leave me here in this deserted place So what have I done to deserve this you didn�t tell me it was coming Like a used toy I�ll remain here gathering dust developing rust Why don�t you put me out of my misery I�ve been here for a long while and I remember when I was new But now the attraction fades and the ones who made me are gone now Like a used toy I�ll remain here gathering dust developing rust why don�t you put me out of my misery When you�re far away do you think of me do you still want me with you It�s up to you to come back to me but it�s for the cobwebs I can�t see We�re forgotten sitting here is not so bad gathering dust developing rust just think of the good times Abandoned that�s me discarded with you rot away in the hall ready to leave this dirty place We�ve forgotten sitting here is going to get worse Gathering dust developing rust just turn on the light and revive me Ah, a dual meaning song! Don�t you just love them? This, of course uses the image of discarded toys in the attic as a metaphor for people who get thrown in the corner of society�s deepest cellar and forgotten about. Out casts and weirdo people, you get the point. Of course, most of these people don�t realise that nobody likes them and they mean absolutely nothing to anyone because they have never known anything different, I guess. |
