"The Followed ( Dressed to Die Screaming )"

Scared of this breach
You’ve jumped into honey
A medicated world
Burnt out on drugs and style
Put this message in your pocket
And say it aint that simple
Stop this evil crush
Trying to choose which wires
Your breaking up love
Shake the fuzz from your ears
A silent exchange
With the darts of another intrusion
You're just killing time

We don’t conform girl
We just follow, we just follow
( We’re dressed to die screaming )
We don’t conform girl
We just follow, we just follow
( We’re dressed to die screaming )

Red sleepless nights
Push a dukebox fizzing
The fag packet smut
Winks at her hot shot prize
Check the angle of your sunglasses
Before you start to stumble
Crawling in line
Pull her stare, fuck her faster
A fat man walks to a stereotype
Lick the grime from your kerb talk shoes
And taste the depravation
You’re just killing time

We don’t conform girl
We just follow, we just follow
( We’re dressed to die screaming )
We don’t conform girl
Why can’t we go home now?
We’re being followed

The Kaisers of your stage fright
Have smothered all your trust
The gluttony of repulsion
Divulges it’s disgust

We don’t conform girl
Why can’t we go home now?
We’re the followed

There’s patterns in the airwaves
Traffic turning ten ways
Through a stick thin coast of junctions
Don’t rely on their despair

We don’t conform girl
We just follow, we just follow
( We’re dressed to die screaming )
We don’t conform girl
Why can’t we go home now?
We’re the followed
( We’re dressed to die screaming )

  1. Went to listen to that Marina and the Diamonds song 'I am not a robot' and honestly thought it was dreadful. I don't know what it is with these bands like M & the D and Florance and the Machine but they're just trying to be sassy, exuberant pop bands and they're just not.
