The Scream

Yeah I've been this way before,

but something down here changed...

The spring sun hanging slower, colder in the sky.

And your voice sounds strange,

your voice sounds strange.

Yeah I've been down here before,

but this time something really isn't right.

Summer sun hangs smaller, paler in the sky.

And your eyes are too bright,

your eyes are too bright.

It's like everything I know,

is twisted out and wrong.

The fall sun hanging flatter, lower in the sky.

And your smile is gone,

your smile is gone.

It's like twisted out I know,

now I can't wake to break apart this dream.

Winter sun hangs weaker, older in the sky.

And you start to scream, and you start to scream...

Scream, and you scream

this is not a dream.

This is how it really is.

There isn't any other, this is not a dream.

Scream, and you scream
why you have this need,
why you can't be satisfied,

always want another, why you have this need...

Scream and you scream.

Dare me to believe.

Dare me now to show I care.

One last chance to make the dare me to believe.

Scream and you scream.

How we ended here,

how we got from then to now...

Never really followed how we ended here.

The shallow drowned lose less than we...

This one is one of the scariest songs he's ever written, I mean, it could easily be included in a masters of horror compilation.

It's like the typical horror scene when the protagonist enters the room and sees her on the floor looking down, just the back of her head, she's mumbling, her voice sounds strange...

then she looks at him with those lunatic eyes, so bright... smiling

and suddenly, her smile is gone and she is dead serious, like she's ready to attack...

and finally she starts to scream, moon-struck, all hope gone, worse than dead...

Allegedly Porl wrote it which is why we will probably never hear it live again. I love this song.

Not in the blood curdling way it is on the album anyway.

more songs could be lifted from this album, and not always the hungry ghost:
underneath the stars
the perfect boy
the only one... (no, not this one, sorry)
this.here and now.with you (this one is difficult to pull off live, but it's sublime)
the scream
it's over
the reasons why
the real snow white

I agree, I'd love to hear "The Scream" live instead of "The Hungry Ghost".

But P.S.: Please, I NEVER want to hear "The perfect boy" live. I don't even want to hear it on record, I really think, it's the worst song Robert's written. Ever.

Not that I've ever felt the need to Scream after working in Amersham of course.

It's funny how certain songs cause such opposite effects on people. To me The Perfect Boy is so uplifting, would love to see it live...

The poor ole Perfect Girl waited 21 years for her Perfect Boy and ended-up with a knob - oh-hum

The perfect boy is deceit instead. (Going the song itself)

Robert yells well, still, plus he has a nice range (as evidenced by his manly voice singing on Harold and Joe) It could be done.
