The Cure - Freakshow Lyrics
I can’t believe it
I must be dreaming
She turns
The sound down
Says “I am heaving
This is a freakshow”
And I am screaming
She spins
The world round
I want to stop
Bittersweet again
Her opening move
Down and out in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She burns her name
Into my arm
But I can never
Get through
To play the game
She’s trying to lose
Her ultraviolet makes it
Harder to choose
Looks like the edge
Of the earth got moved
She blurs a way
Across the floor
I spin
To swallow the view
And it’s the same sway
Yeah
It’s the same slide
It’s the same stare
Oh
It’s the same smile
Yeah
It’s the same but
It’s not quite right
Oh
It’s insane
She shakes like a freak
Stuck in the middle
Of the room for a week
Looks like the only way
To get on the beat
Is take her up
On how to swing
But I am
Missing my feet
And it’s the same sway
Yeah
It’s the same slide
It’s the same swish
Oh
It’s the same smile
Yeah
It’s the same but
It’s not quite right
I’m in a step, out
She two more steps
Down
For three steps up
Clap
And go around
Ow
It makes my head buzz
She wants to come now
I try to stop
Always infradig her
Finishing move
Up and down in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She cuts a number
Out my arm
But I can never
Get through
To play this game
She’s trying to lose
The stuff from Mars
Makes it harder
To choose
Looks like
The final frontier
Got moved
She blurs a way
Across the floor
I spin to swallow
The view
And it’s the same sway
Yeah
It’s the same slide
It’s the same strip
Oh
It’s the same smile
Yeah
It’s the same
But it’s not
Quite right
I can’t believe it
I must be dreaming
She turns
The lights up
Says she is leaving
This is a freakshow
And I am beaten
She spins
The world round
I have to stop

Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Amazon.co.uk Review
There are few things in life quite so liberating as the opening track on an Elbow album–they’re like airlocks between the plainness of the outside world and the elaborate melancholic heave-ho that you are likely about to submerge yourself in. Following predecessors “Any Day Now”, “Ribcage” and “Station Approach”, “Starlings” opens their fourth album The Seldom Seen Kid rising from a bed of tumbling electronic subtlety like a depressed Atari game loading up, adding bare touches of piano, glimpses of ambient guitar, out of body background vocals, an understated pulse and a wisp of strings, before–EXCELSIS!–a fanfare avalanche of horns crashes the gate and elevates things to gasping palatial heights, before Guy Garvey’s inimitable gravel tone and wrenchingly poetic reinterpretations of the everyday announce their arrival proper. It’s astonishing, by far the most progressive moment on the album and if anything it sets the bar too high. But even when the pace dips, and songs like “Mirrorball” and “Weather to Fly” don’t distinguish themselves quite enough, their textural peerlessness remains. This is a beautiful sounding record. Their collaboration with Richard Hawley may be more of a curiosity than a thing of beauty, but the highs, the riffing cross-stitch of “Ground for Divorce”, the desolate grandeur of “The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver” and the enlightened string-laden anthem “On a Day Like This” (like their own Sound of Music–only substitute the Alpine peaks for a Manchester high-rise) number amongst the best of their career.
