| He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead | 
| (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) | 
| (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) | 
| He’s poised to a very strange degree | 
| Wrapped up in emotional imagery | 
| Small and senseless, on an alter ego trip | 
| He wants to alter your every ego trip | 
| Nothing special, nothing to see me | 
| Nothing doing, nothing with me | 
| Nothing much, and nothing to do with me | 
| He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead |

| He is awash in competing theories | 
| He’s glad to be out of the house | 
| It’s that time of the evening | 
| I need to have some feeling | 
| I’m all surface tension, no pretension | 
| Keeps you going, gets you nowhere | 
| Present tense in the worst person singular | 
| He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead |

| (He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead) | 
| Because the message is cheap and exhilarating | 
| Now he’s slobbering on the glass | 
| A sexistic boy, having a worldwide wank | 
| He says «Well, that’s very punk of me!» | 
| Nothing special, nothing to see me | 
| Nothing doing, nothing with me | 
| Nothing much, and nothing to do with me | 
| He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead |
