The Others Lyrics
I’m getting sick
Of you calling it ”chic”
To describe what is that I am
when I know that I’m damned,
cause I got no own place to go
I’m getting sick and tired
You say you know my kind
But I’m a one of a kind
I’m blind leading blind
Cause we got no own place to go
But we’re the pounding of the drums
We’re your next-door neighbour
You sure must have known
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, Oh-oh-Oh!
I’m building an army of misplaced lovers
Known as ”the others”
Working under covers
of love
Cause we got nowhere else to go
Gonna enlist every baldheaded chick with a dick
Every queer that is here so you stupid gits
Know You’re fucked-up, nowhere to go
Hear the pounding of the drums
from your next-door-neighbour
You sure must have known
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, O-oh-Oh!
I’m building an army of misplaced lovers
Known as ”the others”
Working under covers
The Others…
Of you calling it ”chic”
To describe what is that I am
when I know that I’m damned,
cause I got no own place to go
You say you know my kind
But I’m a one of a kind
I’m blind leading blind
Cause we got no own place to go
We’re your next-door neighbour
You sure must have known
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, Oh-oh-Oh!
Known as ”the others”
Working under covers
of love
Cause we got nowhere else to go
Every queer that is here so you stupid gits
Know You’re fucked-up, nowhere to go
from your next-door-neighbour
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, O-oh-Oh!
Known as ”the others”
Working under covers
The Others…

This song is amazing. Its about people who don't fit into our concepts of acceptable gender/sexuality identity.
"I’m getting sick Of you calling it ”chic” To describe what is that I am when I know that I’m damned, cause I got no own place to go"
This is Ola saying that he doesn't dress or act the way he does for a trend, he can't be somebody he isn't
"But we’re the pounding of the drums We’re your next-door neighbour You sure must have known You got nowhere to go"
I see this part as, hey, get used to it, cause gender outlaws are everywherrre..you can't rid of them ;-)
Does anybody know the song "Freaks" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch? Reminds me of this a lot
So, I'm not the only one who was reminded of "Freaks." As one of those Others he's singing about, I find this song encouraging. It's amazing how much one little song can help when you start feeling like everyone you meet hates you for being different than them.
