Queer
LYRICS QUEER
Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You learn to love the pain you feel
Like father, like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry 'cause you starve
While holding back the tears
Choking on your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you,
(you can touch me if you want)
I know you're dying to,
(You can touch me if you want)
I know what's good for you,
(You can touch me if you want)
But you can't stop
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me
You can touch me
But you can't stop

Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer

official video for the song Queer released 1995
all ...
stupidgirl 09.02.08
is this song homophobic? The writer of the lyrics has both contempt for the 'queer' person and a sympathetic understanding of their alienation and unhappiness.
Shirley has said that the word 'queer' in Scotland means 'fey, weird or other-worldy' and is not meant as homosexual.

the song may be a little homophobic, the video is not. In the video Shirley clearly helps the guy come out.
