The Idol Lyrics - Marc Almond

Hail Hail the Idol 

Hail Hail the Idol 

Idol be bad 

Idol be wild 

Martyr your heart 

Father a love child 

We need all your kinks 

And your dark attitude 

We live on your sins 

And your volatile moods 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

You're a pop up poster of a teenage dream 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

A fur inferno on a twisted scene

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

Go for the gold 

Never grow old 

In the bed or the car 

It's the end of the star 

Burn yourself out 

Do yourself in 

Don't try to mend 

All gods fall in the end 

Hail Hail the Idol 

Hail Hail the Idol 

We loved you in black 

We adored you in pink 

Up in the dock 

Or drowned in the drink 

Wrapped up in foil 

Anointed in oil 

Photos 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

Rip out your soul as you're playing the role 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

Nail up your hands to fulfil our demands 

Go for the gold 

Never grow old 

In the bed or the car 

It's the end of the star 

Burn yourself out 

Do yourself in 

Don't try to mend 

All gods fall in the end 

Sweet crucifixion 

We hate you, we hate you 

We hate you, we hate you 

Watch them turn cold as you start to grow old 

We hate you, we hate you 

We hate you, we hate you 

Vinyl to burn as the crowd starts to turn 

Go for the gold 

Never grow old 

In the bed or the car 

It's the end of the star 

Burn yourself out 

Do yourself in 

Don't try to mend 

All gods fall in the end 

Be what you are 

In the bed or the car 

In the bath or the bar 

It's the end of the star 

Burn yourself out 

Do yourself in 

Don't try to mend 

All gods fall in the end 

Fail Fail the Idol 

Fail Fail the Idol 

Fail Fail the Idol 

Fail Fail the Idol 

All gods fall in the end 

Valentino the sheik was the God of them all 

But his macho was dented and he took a fall 

Garland sang tragedy touching our hearts 

But her life was a tragedy more than her art 

Fabian and Avalon gold lamed and cute 

Kissed fickle fame and went straight down the chute 

Elvis the cat loved us tender with youth 

But what we were seeing was never the truth 

Just wanted to sing but fame made its demands 

And died while still young trying to please all his fans 

James was a rebel that stood for an age 

A drink and a drive and then death took the stage 

Poor Billie Holliday paid all her dues 

When her close friend the needle gave her the blues 

Janis at night cruised for boys on the strip 

But death by the bottle is what made her hip 

Marylin's beauty showed age every day 

But her sinister end helped her keep age away 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

We love you, we love you 

Brian Jones had an aura that Mick soon would crave 

But pills and a pool set the scene for the grave 

Jim lived his life to put edge to his songs 

But he died in the bath to reach where he belongs 

Jimi played notes that were all heaven-sent 

But the drink and the drugs made sure that's where he went 

Osmond and Cassidy records all gold 

But they made the mistake of growing too old 

Bolan got fat was not pleasant to see 

But we loved him again when he met with a tree 

Kurt was unhappy with fame and success 

A gun in the mouth and one hell of a mess 

And who will be next on the big cross of fame? 

A white sequinned glove and a big famous name? 

We hate you, we hate you 

We hate you, we hate you 

We hate you, we hate you 

We hate you, we hate you
