Underdogs Lyrics
This one's for the freaks.
For you're so beautiful.
For all the devotion.
Written in your soul.
This one's for the freaks.
For the lost and weak.
For the butterflies and devotees
and the disciples of our destiny.
And like the underdogs we are.
Shining bright but now disappeared.
And like the underdogs we are.
Passing like some fading stars.
Like some fading stars.
This one's for the freaks.
The beaten down and crushed.
The shy and withdrawn.
Or just out of touch.
May you stay like freaks.
May you make mistakes.
May your will never break.
For underdogs revenge is sweet.
Revenge is sweet.
And like the underdogs we are.
Shining bright but now disappeared.
And like the underdogs we are.
Passing like some fading stars.
Like some fading stars.
This one's for the freaks.
This one's for the freaks.
People like you, need to fuck.
Need to fuck people like me.
This one's for the freaks.
For the lost and weak.
This one's for the freaks.

Awesome drumming there from Sean. That line 'People like you need to fuck, need to fuck people like me' though, what the hell is that meant to be about? Aside from that momentary weirdness, I love this song :) It reminds me of how tiny, lazy-eyed, badly-named James used to get taunted so much at school as one of the 'underdogs', and is now a super-successful rock-star...
Refers to a piece of art by Tracey Emin, called 'People like you need to fuck people like me'. It consists of a purple and blue neon sign stating the title. The sentence is repeated on 'It always hurts', a blanket sewn with a view of Emin’s buttocks. The further lettering on this last piece of art reads: "You stop me feeling anything but myself" and "Right up inside of me". Both pieces were featured on Emin’s exhibition 'When I think about sex…', which took place in the White Cube Art Gallery in London in May and June 2005. Source: manics.nl...

Pretty self-explanatory really. Great song!
