| Description | Originally written by ex-Love Songs sexpot, Jackson, this song was about a, uh, complicated relationship in which he was involved. The song was later neutered for this record, its lyrics changed to reflect Richard Stanley’s insane experience with his film The Island of Dr Moreau. |
| Lyrics | I built this train with spit and gusto, with vision I laid these tracks My whole life leads to right now, so hey buddy why not any slack? My swift termination was a gross miscalculation Since we already left the station - how could this do anything less than leave you with a scar? Now a scab sits in my place, it is his flop you’ll have to face For any other man in charge will be a failure at large For all your self-serving lies, you are about to pay the price Now all I want is a front row seat for your catastrophe Because it is hard to see how this won’t leave a scar I’d already been cut loose so what did I have to lose? This could mean bad news at any moment that I choose But that’s not why I’m here, I’m no stranger, I’m no danger Or am I? Well, lets try and survive as defeat rains down upon your ugly face You didn’t see me standing, hiding in plain sight But as a dog I saw enough to know that you were anything but right I hope the chorus of jeers that you hear keeps you recoiling in fear Because for years your tears will never wash away this self-inflicted nasty little scarYou might also like |
