Everybody's Weird

lyrics

Everybody's weird

So everybody came, but you're here to have some fun
And everyone's the same, well that's faster said than done.
And you're such a lovely guy but it doesn't take so much
To get all there is out, all the dirt and all the sludge.

You're stepping on my sun
And it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone
You're stepping on my sun

And the liquor that you had
Is playing twister with your mind
You been artificially sad
But never naturally high
I was flashing on a thought
On a party in this town
If I said what's on my mind
There'd be not a soul around.

You're stepping on my sun
And it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone
You're stepping on my sun.

It's easier to trust
If it comes down to this my friend
I will help you if I must
I will kill you if I can
Experience is cheap
And you know that in the end
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can

You're stepping on my sun
And it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone
You're stepping on my sun

'Cause everybody's weird
And they all think they're God
But the biggest one they fear is that precious thing you got.
The fire in your eyes
Is a subtlety I know
And you will not be denied
But the service is so slow

Releases / notes / credits

Released on:
The Ideal Crash
Instant Street single (demo version)
The Ideal Crash single (Soulwax remix)
TB & GVN Live (acoustic)

The lines "I will help you if I must / I will kill you if I can (...) / I will kill you if I must / I will help you if I can" come from Leonard Cohen's Song for Isaac which also has lines used in Hotellounge.

The Soulwax remix is more a Flying Dewaele Brothers remix, the electronic side of Soulwax. Completely totally absolutely different, it sounds even more 80's.
