Lyrics below:
You line them up
Look at your shoes
Your hang names on your wall
Then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes
That bring you down
To meet me who loves you
Like me crashing to the ground
Are you so lonely?
You don't even know me
But you'd like to stone me
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Why don't you tell it how it really is
Before you go on home?
I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you
Then you do what you do
You've just enough, in my own view
Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Why don't you tell it how it really is
Before you go on home?
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you even know?
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Why don't you tell it how it really is
Before you go on home?

You fly around in planes that bring you down To meet me, who loves you, let me crash into the ground Are you so lonely, you don't even know me Would you like to stone me? Mr. Writer...

Won't you tell it like it really is Why don't you tell it like it always is Before you go on home...

The first time I heard this I was walking through HMV Regent Street (if any one remembers the store). It stopped me in my track, I couldn't believe the hauntingness (not a word) of the track. It made me feel alone in a room full of hundreds. As a writer, I always aim to tell it like it really is. Simply amazing.

[@Aardcore]

I'll never forget the day I saw this music video and introduced myself to this band. I was living in Germany at the time and it was just before summer break; I was getting ready for school and turned the TV on just to see what was on and this music video happened to be on. I was cutting it close for time letting the music video finish but I just had to watch it in its entirety because it was such a wild music video with an even wilder sound I hadn't heard before as a young man. I rushed off to the bus stop afterwards, summer vacation began and this song haunted me for a long time before I finally got a hold of it myself and have been a fan ever since. I had to be about 16-17 years old, and I'm 32 today. This band, among many others, but this song especially, helped shape and sort out the strange melancholy feelings I'd had as a teenager. Yet every time I listen to this song I'm reminded of those strange, familiar feelings and sometimes miss it. I know the lyrics themselves have a meaning all its own, but listening to it is a time machine in itself for me, reminding me of the young man I used to be, and strangely remember.
