Dark Secret Lyrics

Baby I'm too schooled for cool
The world labours 'neath my ridicule
Showbiz taught me all I know:
Impress those on top and despise those below

And have some dark secret, some dark secret
Hidden in your lyrics, dear
Have some dark secret, some dark secret
Indiscretions left unclear

All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away
We didn't leave it unknown
It was our one dark secret.

Graded on a decimal scale
Where four out of ten is a hopeless fail
I give Johnny Borrell five
He's piss-poor on record, but he's not bad live

Is there some dark secret, some dark secret
Hidden in his lyrics, friends?
Is there some dark secret, some black closet?
Does he make his racket to make amends?

All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away
We didn't leave it unknown
It was our one dark secret.

All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Man of smoke to man of flame, etc, etc.

The Pocket Orchestra's Death Song

Baby I'm too schooled for cool 
The world labours 'neath my ridicule 
Showbiz taught me all I know: 
Impress those on top and despise those below

And have some dark secret, some dark secret 
Hidden in your lyrics, dear 
Have some dark secret, some dark secret 
Indiscretions left unclear 
 
All I want is someone I can blame 
Man of smoke to man of flame 
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away 
We didn't leave it unknown 
It was our one dark secret.

Graded on a decimal scale 
Where four out of ten is a hopeless fail 
I give Johnny Borrell five 
He's piss-poor on record, but he's not bad live

Is there some dark secret, some dark secret 
Hidden in his lyrics, friends? 
Is there some dark secret, some black closet? 
Does he make his racket to make amends?

All I want is someone I can blame 
Man of smoke to man of flame 
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away 
We didn't leave it unknown 
It was our one dark secret.

All I want is someone I can blame 
Man of smoke to man of flame 
Man of smoke to man of flame, etc, etc.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
