black sheep

i love chris corner. i swear, if ever there were a songwriter / musician who could read my thoughts and so elegantly present them exact and sweetly in electro-verse its this guy.

after obsessing over iamx's last two releases for what seems an eternity, i revisited some older sneaker pimps songs. still, the same relatability.

Don't look now, we're branded, we're the black sheep
Sewn apart and Siamese--the black sheep
When the water seems too deep
The shadows always wait beneath
But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep

If you see me you'll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now

Don't look now, we're stranded here as black sheep
Swallowed whole and out of reach--the black sheep
Unsafe enough for nowWe've sheparded it from higher ground
But drowned all out we save the role of black sheep

If you see me you'll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now

i guess its because of that same old story - me the outcast (black sheep) of the family at events my whole life, the outcast at the parties, and in social circles. its my swan song - some recent events that made me really open my eyes and really truly see situations and people for what they are.
