Lyrics of the week; It Bites - Oh My God



Oh My God - It Bites

             
Oh my God, the genius of it all
The way the words spit from my mouth
I'm self-assured and meaninglessly bored
and all these things straight through your heart

So when you talk to me there's nothing left to say
And only one thing can remain, so please refrain 'cause


I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)
I'm so strung out that nothing else will do
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)


Oh my god, how boring I've become
I'll say this again and again
I'm self-obsesses and tedious at best
I'd wish this on no one but you

And when I talk to you I find it hard to say
You're wasting all these words again, I feel ashamed now


I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)
I'm so strung out that nothing else will do
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)


Hoping these letters will carry you through in the old dramatic way
And I still recall as I bury the wall
It's a gentle reminder there's always the time to go sailing
Hey, you've got yourself to blame
And these promises spoken, like hearts will be broken
I' wrapped around your finger, your words still mean something to me...


I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)
I'm so strung out that nothing else will do
(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

Copyright 2008? As in, still active?

One of the few sparks of musical genius in the 80ies were they, for me.

And they're back since 2008 with a great album. Really a mix of (light-)metal, prog, pop, etcetera.
