Freaks - Marillion

Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst potential?

Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter how experimental?

Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your hometown?

Did you think you were buying safety

When you bought that piece of ground?

She said all the best freaks are here

She said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

So I said all the best freaks are here

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

Have you ever woke up, sweating in the middle of the night?

You search the darkness and you’re scrambling for the light

Have you ever walked down the street, heard bootsteps following you?

Don’t worry my son, you’ve got the spook squad looking after you

He said all the best freaks are here

He said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

So I said all the best freaks are here

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me, stop staring at me

Airport terminal, patiently waiting on the last call

You feel the eyes burn the back of your head

Sign the autograph, get out of the picture, gonna have the last laugh

Feel the whispers as you head for the plane

Stop staring at me

Love and linen sheets seem so very far away

You save your pennies and you buy another day

But after all it’s only hide and seek, just another game

There’s so much fun to be had when you’re living with a name

All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are here

Please stop staring at me, all the best freaks are here

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

Oh, stop staring at me, oh, stop staring at me

They said all the best freaks are here

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

All the best freaks are here

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
