fashion statement, please /
another me, a better man /
the fascination's lost /
at such a cost /
I need new clothes //
I wanna make a deal /
but I feel stuck /
inside these clothes /
I throw up all I eat /
so I can fit /
inside these clothes //
and even if it hurts to walk /
the people laugh /
I know who I am /
even if it hurts to walk /
and I get beat up /
I'm proud of my new clothes //
I'll never eat again /
and suck my cheeks /
and hold my breath /
the people stop and stare /
at the emperor /
the thing from mars //
and even if it hurts to walk /
the people laugh /
I know who I am /
even if it hurts to walk /
and I get beat up /
I'm proud of my new clothes //
and even if it hurts to walk /
the people laugh /
I know who I am /
even if it hurts to walk /
and I get beat up /
I'm proud of my funky clothes
A very strange song, one of many we only know of thanks to 'MiniDiscs [HACKED]'. A few soundchecks and rehearsals were made of this, but it ultimately didn't make the cut for OK Computer, likely owing to the odd lyrics.
