Scissor Man
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor
man,
Putting end to evil-doers' games.
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Maybe you are in his book of names.
Maybe you are in his book of names.
So, be kind and helpful to your mother,
Just think twice before you try and steal.
When he cuts with sticky, silver snippers,
You may find that some wounds never heal.
All self-made bad boys,
If you refuse to believe he exist,
You won't be frightened when you find out
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
So, be good and never poison people,
Just think twice before the deed is done.
When you wake up guilty in the morning,
You may find important pieces gone.
My thoughts...
I've always thought this song would be perfect for The Cure.
I could see Robert Smith writing amusing lyrics like these —
especially the "snipping" parts.
