She is the New Thing Lyrics
She's a special girl you know,
the kind I'd hope to see,
hanging on a wall,
watching me cross the street.
I wonder how long it will be before I'm sick of her,
and I no longer care where she goes or has been,
because she's the new thing.
Feel my stomach sink.
Whatever she brings,
I cast myself in.
She is the new thing.
It started so slight then I flared into life,
attention again onto another new thing.
Once she had me on my knees, enamoured with disease.
Now, she fails to impress.
A different sickness.
A different kind of sickness,
lacking any interest.
And I, sunk in apathy,
totally absorbed in me.
Sitting vacant on my own,
my senses lying prone.
She was the new thing.
Feel my stomach sink and I curse my slow limbs.
Staring at her,
alterior girl,
I cast myself into whatever she brings...Another new.
With sickness,
it ends how it begins:
First mine then hers,
and then the cycle blurs as my actions reoccur through no fault of my own, through no fault of my own.
the kind I'd hope to see,
hanging on a wall,
watching me cross the street.
I wonder how long it will be before I'm sick of her,
and I no longer care where she goes or has been,
because she's the new thing.
Whatever she brings,
I cast myself in.
She is the new thing.
attention again onto another new thing.
Once she had me on my knees, enamoured with disease.
Now, she fails to impress.
A different sickness.
A different kind of sickness,
lacking any interest.
And I, sunk in apathy,
totally absorbed in me.
Sitting vacant on my own,
my senses lying prone.
She was the new thing.
Staring at her,
alterior girl,
I cast myself into whatever she brings...Another new.

and then the cycle blurs as my actions reoccur through no fault of my own, through no fault of my own.

There's a full list of The Horrors - Strange House song meanings from the band themselves on http://www.skiddle.com/music/articles/the-horrors--album-tour-and-instore-gigs-_230207.php.
this song is common sence talk about a girl that everyone has in their life or knows in their life,or mabe its the girl faris wants
He liked her at first, but know he's gotten to know her better he can't figure out what he saw in her in the first place.
*but now urgh, stupid spelling error
I agree with both ^^^ definately an obsession thingy
I've always thought it was more about him rather than the girl like shes just one of many,
i think this song actully talks about the fact that he had never had this somene that he really loved and allways had nothing special . and now he has this girl that he loves and becasue he is use to well not something special he wonders :how long it will be before i'm sick of her ...." and he sais :she is the new thing like he never felt this way before . oh. god knows how i got to that.
always*
Spider: "It’s an anti love song."
Fairs: "It’s about the frustration of getting bored with people too easily.
my most favoritist song by them and the best video ever!
This song starts of as a commentary on a girl, a girl Faris probably had a relationship with, she slowly took him over, absorbed all his thoughts and being and then and he sees her for what she really is and so the song evolves into a commentary on trends, conformism and I think maybe girls and weaknesses to advertising and branding? Fantastic song. Its been in my head for about 2 months straight. Everyone who hears it loves it. The Horrors are great live too - best night of my life.
