Ghosts Lyrics

Lyric discussion by johnstonutd 

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Japan

i read on a website that the bass player from japan ( mick karn ) recently published a painfully honest autobiography, from what i can gather ( i havent read it, but i read a few comments about it on a website ) he speaks of a violent and scary childhood, depression, and the sad fact that the singer from japan was a crazy control freak who was moody and unpredictable ( maybe high on drugs? i dont want to slander anyone! ) to me this song has always been about having a self destructive streak, almost like sabotaging anything good that comes along, i think i was like that when i was younger, its a way of staying in control of your situation, but this is obviously my personal interperation.
