NOBODY IS BEAUTIFUL ANYMORE (MUSCUTT)
Burning tower block sunset and everything inside it gone it reminds me of when we met each other
Now something good has gone and it�s only recently I told you how I feel
It scares me that one day I�ll be running away from you
Because the night before it occurred to me that nobody is beautiful anymore
Early mist cold morning canal it�s raining and it�s strange
To think I�ve been trying to make a change and it�s only recently I told you how I feel
It scares me that one day I�ll be running away from you
Because the night before it occurred to me that nobody is beautiful anymore
We are all film stars and we all made the grade but every night you lie there crying
We are all superstars and you think that we�ve made it but every day I see you trying
It�s nobody�s fault but our own enigma that comes to haunt me every day
That I see in every single person I meet when I�m running away from you
And the night before I left you it occurred to me that nobody is beautiful anymore

Another line taken from the book �American Psycho�, which I also used a line of in the poem �Old Woman��. (not included here). This deals with the fact that some people can analyse beautiful people to death and find something ugly with even the most gorgeous of human beings, even if it means an internal blemish or personality trait or something.

DISLOCATED (MUSCUTT)
I�m in no mood to translate these words to you why can�t you find out for yourself?
I know you keep it locked inside somewhere
It�s time to let it go it�s time to let me know that it doesn�t make you high
And now we�re fearing our days were wasted in the sunshine turn to rain
Collaborate with your dislocated disguise because this trip will surprise you somehow
If you can�t take it why didn�t you say so because it�s time to let it go time to let it show
That now it doesn�t get you high and now we�re fearing our wasted days in the sunshine turn to rain turn to rain
Twist inside your careless shell I hope you regret your life I know you keep it inside now it�s fading away
It�s time to let it go and time to let him know that he doesn�t get you high
Or tells you reasons why he wastes your days in the sunshine and hopes for rain

This song, if I�m right, is about someone pretending their life is really great, when in fact it makes them sad. It�s written in a surreal way, with it not that clear what it�s about. But if you read it through, it becomes easier to understand.
