I agree. Great tune, rushed lyrics.

"And I don't ever want to be rescued
I don't ever want to be saved
I got a feeling that I'm gonna be alive forever
Dancing on the edge of a grave" |
Yes, that bit is quite good. And there are also other quite cool bits. But it's a collection of quite good bits with some embarassingly naff bits in between.

Yes, that's what kills all the credibility of the song for me. It's just so dumb and naff.
I think these bits suck:
"When I woke up this morning and I looked out my window I could see that it was cloudy and grey." Oooh the drama.
"I got a dance in my pants". Creepy pervy. Yuk sick barf.
"No way Jose" and that whole spoken bit in the middle. Just make it stop, please.
The insane cackling at the end. No, NO, NOOOOO!!
