Demystification Lyrics

I look out the window and I wonder at it all
Staring at the circles that decorate the wall
Everybody's going to come and join them all
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call

Don't come round for me unless you got what I
Don't come round for me unless you got what I
Don't come round for me unless you got what I want
I want some Demystification
I want some Demystification
I want some Demystification about what's going on

My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall
Now I can't go to the party, the electrician didn't call
Now I hear they're counting numbers to store them in Whitehall
There's so much information, what can they do with it all

Chorus

Some people talk of Sheba, some they talk of God
Some talk of Politicians, some they talk of love
They mystify the heroes, offer chances we could take
I'm not looking for escapism, I just wanna escape

Chorus

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.

I think this song is about general activism and how it seems to everyone else out of it. the singer is an outsider and she sees all the "mystery" and "importance" put on these things by the people in them, but she doesn't quite understand what is going on, cos it's not even clear enough. this whole thing maybe about one special occation, but I dont really know what could've happened in Britain then. But the last lines offer the idea that it's a general thing, people should state a clear goal when doing something, not just unclear information.

A brilliant cover of a Zounds tune from the early 1980s. BTW, the line "Some people talk of Sheba, some they talk of God" Should be "Some people talk of Shiva, some they talk of God"

[Edit: added thought.]
