lyrics

This is our "Music from A Bachelors Den"
The sound of loneliness turned up to ten
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed
And it sounds just like this

This is the sound of someone losing the plot
Making out that they're okay when they're not
You're gonna like it, but not a lot
And the chorus goes like this

Oh baby, here comes the fear again
The end is near again, oh
A monkey's built a house on your back
You can't get anyone to come in the sack
And here comes another panic attack
Oh, here we go again

So now you know the words to my song
Pretty soon you'll all be singing along
When you're sad, when you're lonely, and it all turns out wrong
When you've got the fear

And when you're no longer searching for beauty or love
Just some kind of life with the edges taken off
When you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of
This song will be here

Oh baby, here comes the fear again
The end is near again, oh
If you ever get that chimp off your back
If you ever find the thing that you lack
Oh, but you know you're only having a laugh
Oh, here we go again
Until the end

Nicky Wire
by Nicky Wire

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Fear [Pulp cover]”

I always love Nicky Wire's lyrics - their wisdom, wit, sadness, and rebellion. Wire ages almost painfully gracefully. This particular song feels like it was written for me (it probably wasn't) because of some letters and art I sent or tried to send Wire a long time ago when I was in a mental health crisis. In any case, it seems to be about someone who had the stupid and embarrassing experience of loving a famous stranger they know only from their art. richeychthonic
