Strangler's Theme

[long intro]

He was walking.
There were people.
There was nothing much to do.
All the girls were with their guys
And he longed for a girl too.
So there she was
And then he felt that fuzz,
But he couldn't stop that hurt.
And he fell into her eyes
And found them feeling worse than dirt.

Do you want to have me?
Oh madly.
Do you want to grab me?
So bad, it hurts.
They misunderstand me.
Please lift this curse.
I'd kill them sadly.
Dead.

He takes 'em home
On a lonely afternoon.
Picnic lunch and then
Strangling you.

So he's punching out
From punching clocks
And they all come home from work.
And he's thinking about
Munching cock
And that makes him feel like dirt.
So when he sees a girl,
He wants to please you, girl
She says "I like to scream"
He wants to squeeze you, girl
He says "Easy, girl.
I know just what you mean."
Here.

Do you want to have me?
Oh madly.
Do you want to grab me?
So bad, it hurts.
They misunderstand me.
What could be worse?
I'd kill 'em sadly.
Oh.

He takes 'em home
On a lonely afternoon.
Picnic lunch and then
Strangling you.
That's right!

He takes 'em home
On a lonely afternoon.
Picnic lunch and then
Strangling you.

I touch the throat
And then feel it squeeze
Feeling I'm feeling love
Touch my throat
When you hurt, just squeeze
Feeling love, feeling love
Feeling love, feeling love
I touch the threat
And then feel it squeeze
I touch the throat
Feeling love, feeling love
Feeling love, feeling love
I touch the throat
And then feel it squeeze
I'm feeling love, feeling love
Feeling love
I touch the throat
And then feel it squeeze
Feeling I'm feeling love

He takes 'em home
On a lonely afternoon.
Picnic lunch and then
Strangling you.

He takes 'em home
On a lonely afternoon, yea.
Picnic lunch and then
Strangling you.

Are you guys sure this isn't called "Strangler's Theme"? Has anyone actually seen a copy of the Japanese version?

The long intro really reminds me of some other song, but I can't place it...

Phobiac - 10-24-2003 at 01:11 PM

Yeah.. I have the disc...Strangler's Theme...it is!

And for I'm Your Bitch it's funny that if you read the Japanese on the CD it actually translates to "I am Your Bitchie".

This song sure took a dark turn pretty quick, lyrically.

did you capture this correctly? I can relate to lines 1 and 2, but line 4?

seacaptain - 10-24-2003 at 02:57 PM

I'm pretty sure that's what it says, yea. It fits though, as this seems to be a portrait of a killer... suppressing his tendencies... taking that out on women.

Interesting choice of words in the following--it reminds me a little of "Bullets and Bread" with the "I love her so badly, I leave her so sadly, I need her so madly, she's bullets and bread":

"Do you want to have me?
Oh madly.
Do you want to grab me?
So bad, it hurts.
They misunderstand me.
What could be worse?
I'd kill 'em sadly.
Oh. "

Phobiac - 10-24-2003 at 04:03 PM

Totally!

Also reminds me of various songs from the Rocky Horror Picture Show...can't put my finger on it, but something from that flick.

Phobiac - 10-24-2003 at 05:25 PM

OK. so I took a look at the disc finally. Strangler's Theme it is! Good job on that one SeaCrout!

There aren't L's in the Japanese language so when you read it in katakana or hiragana it is pronounced as Stranger's Theme.

I think the first line is

He was walking (there) were people (there) was nothing much to do..
