Armatage Shanks Lyrics

Stranded
lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy
I'm branded maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning and no healing
Self-loathing freak and
Introverted deviot

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
(? wooh wooh)
(? wooh wooh)

Stranded
lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy
Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
I'm getting pissed
I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a clostrophobic mind

I looked into the toilet thing (cause I have no life) and Armitage Shanks is a company that makes bathrooms. If you want proof or you just like toilets you can see their website at www.armitage-shanks.co.uk Yeah, I'll leave now before I say something else really stupid.

Yes, the Finnish girl is right: what does "deviot" mean? I found Deviot is a village in New Zealand and a Power Ranger protagonist, but I don't think it refers to that... -.-

P.S.: the missing word beside "Wooh" could be "singularly" o "singulary"? But I'm not sure it makes sense...

The correct spelling is "deviate". It's normally paired with sexual as in sexual deviate - a person who gets off on nasty sexual acts.

Sorry, I meant to put an n in there... Deviant is the word I was typing!

deviot means mischevious person. introverted deviot. one means michevious person and one means like wallflower. im pretty sure im right though
