The Need

(album: Strange Charm - 1986)

Get the need
Get it.
I'm in the movies.

Hello young thing
I'm an old film star
Maybe you've seen my picture.

I need it
Like an old newsreel
I'm just fading away.

Bang bang dear
I've got the needles
And I've got the need
If you'd be so kind.

Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need.
Feel it!

Hello young thing
I've got reverse instructions
In the back of my car.

I need it
Don't cry till this thing is over
And my friends applaud.

Bang bang dear
When can we do this again
And put it all on film

Hello young love
I've got something to show you
And please don't be ashamed.

I'm the man
I'm the atrocity film star
And I've got the need.
