Soft Cell

Songwriter: Marc Almond

I met Johnny down the disco the other night. He said "Hey baby, you look pretty cool. Are you dancing?" I said "Are you asking?" He said "Yeah but first look into my big brown eyes and tell me the story of your life" I said "Baby you'd never believe my life."

I am 16 going on 17
I've been in with it twice
Mommy is a drunk
And daddy is a punk
And sister is cold as ice

Incest is a common factor
I am my brother's son
Grandma is a junkie
Grandad is a monkey
Beastiality is fun

Mommy and daddy never got married
Do you know what that makes me?

I have 10 brothers
Soon there'll be others
Daddy has just fucked mommy

I am 16
Going on 17

I know you'd never believe it

Daddy has just fucked mommy
Sister is cold as ice
I'm as cold as ice
I'm as cold as ice
Cold cold cold cold
I'm as cold as ice
At the disco
At the disco
Hey Johnny
Ooh baby, Ooh baby
Love to love you
Ooh baby, Oh baby, Oh baby
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I'm not cold anymore
Johnny, Johnny
Love to love you
Love to love you
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I'm only 16
Oh yeah baby I'm only 16
You Just look at this complexion baby and you'd never believe it, but I'm just 16 and I've had a hard life Johnny, Johnny
