Scissor Man Lyrics
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Putting end to evil doers games.
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Maybe you are in his book of names.
Maybe you are in his book of names.
So be kind and helpful to your mother,
Just think twice before you try and steal.
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers,
You may find that some wounds never heal.
All self made bad boys,
If you refuse to believe he exist,
You won't be frightened when you find out,
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
So be good and never poison people,
Just think twice before the deed is done.
When you wake up guilty in the morning,
You may find important pieces gone.
Putting end to evil doers games.
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,
Maybe you are in his book of names.
Maybe you are in his book of names.
Just think twice before you try and steal.
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers,
You may find that some wounds never heal.
If you refuse to believe he exist,
You won't be frightened when you find out,
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
You're on his list.
Just think twice before the deed is done.
When you wake up guilty in the morning,
You may find important pieces gone.

It's to do with the downright sinister German childrens book Struwwelpeter, in which a scissor wielding man cuts off a childs thumbs because he sucks them too much. Quote from wikipedia "In Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher (The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb), a mother warns her son not to suck his thumbs. However, when she goes out of the house he resumes his thumb sucking, until a roving tailor appears and cuts off his thumbs with giant scissors." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter
seems to be about all those characters invented and believed in in youth, like Santa or the Tooth Fairy and that kind of thing, though it may be a metaphor, maybe for karma, I dunno, great song.
