Penny Dreadful Lyrics - Singles - Elvenking

Forgive me if I'm out of order - 

This new 'music' has no soul 

It may be good for making money, 

Sadly that is not my goal 

Integrity and honesty are words that you don't understand, 

but you're the best - it says so in the penny dreadful in your hand 

I saw you in a magazine, 

They're calling you messiah 

They must be living in a dream - 

they couldn't be more wrong 

If we'd played this riff more punk 

Then maybe we'd have had a million seller 

But this piper's tune is not for sale, 

I'm glad to say I'm not that kind of fella 

D.J.s, V.J.s, pimps and trollops, 

Never mind music - this is bollocks 

I saw you in a magazine, 

They're calling you messiah 

They must be living in a dream - 

They couldn't be more wrong. 

Turn on, tune up, cash in, sell out 

Turn on, tune up, cash in, sell out 

Stand your ground behind the times - 

And refuse to follow fashion 

Write your poetry with anger, 

And then sing it with a passion 

Painted faces in a circus - images that spring to mind, 

When I read my penny dreadful filled with pictures of your kind 

I saw you in a magazine, 

They're calling you messiah 

They must be living in a dream - 

They couldn't be more wrong 

Commercial suicide's appealing after 

Ten years on this losing streak 

'Cause I'd rather be called sour and bitter 

Than be deemed the flavour of the weak 

Of the weak, of the weak 

Weak of the weak 

I saw you in a magazine, 

They're calling you messiah 

They must be living in a dream - 

They couldn't be more wrong 

Extra, extra, read all about it! 

I saw you in a magazine, 

They're calling you messiah 

They must be living in a dream - 

They couldn't be more wrong
