Mr. Self Destruct (live) Lyrics - Soft Cell

Always the dreamer 

But never the dead 

You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head 

Anyone in your way 

Was a spike in your side 

With one hand in the wallet 

You took them for the ride 

Your could look in their eyes 

You perfected a lie 

Never gave them the chance to question why 

If they hit on you 

Then you slammed them right back 

To hell with the cool 

It was up and attack

You should have seen you when you were 18 

You were the toughest little f... 

I've ever seen 

And with each downfall you turned 10 foot tall 

The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been 

And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again 

Looking for blame 

And you know that he'll diagnose pain again 

Yeah pain again 

Narrow the sorrow 

Sick of the slick 

Of the doors of discovery you had you pick 

If they hit on you 

Then you hit right back 

Never keeping their cool 

It was up and attack 

Photos 

Your could look in their eyes 

You perfected a lie 

Never gave them the chance to question why 

If they hit on you 

Then you slammed them right back 

To hell with the cool 

It was up and attack 

Whoa you're feeling so torrid today 

Life has gone wild 

No one blocks out the way 

You even look good - so they say 

A new lease of life flowed through your body today 

(not that looks are all to go by - but anyway) 

Shooting the A, Shooting the A, Shooting the A 

The stuff is free 

And you can now go to town 

Building your life up and smashing it down 

Building your life up and smashing it down 

You couldn't escape from this fact of life 

That existing makes you a mess 

But every decision or feeling or reason 

Causes some sort of mental distress 

Your could look in their eyes 

You perfected a lie 

Never gave them the chance to question why 

If they hit on you 

Then you slammed them right back 

To hell with the cool 

It was up and attack 

Leave the cool for the fool 

Leave the cool for the fool 

Leave the cool for the fool 

Leave the cool for the fool 

Hey hey 

You couldn't escape from this fact of life 

That existing makes you a mess 

But every decision or feeling or reason 

Causes some sort of mental distress 

Your could look in their eyes 

You perfected a lie 

Never gave them the chance to question why 

If they hit on you 

Then you slammed them right back 

To hell with the cool 

It was up and attack 

Hey 

Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) 

And smashing it down 

Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) 

And smashing it down 

Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) 

And smashing it down
