soft cell - polaroid lyrics

[verse 1: marc almond]
new york city, 1981
i was lost in the junkie jungle
i called in to the factory on union square
for a warhol introduction

[chorus: marc almond]
he saw me, and he said “hi”
and i said “hi”, and he said “gee”
and he asked me, and i asked he:
a polaroid of me and he?

[verse 2: marc almond]
saw right through him, and he through me
transparent men and mannequin
“great,” i said, and he said, “gee”
and that was it, and that was we
[chorus: marc almond]
he saw me, and he said “hi”
and i said “hi”, and he said “gee”
and he asked me, and i asked he:
a polaroid of me and he?

[interlude: andy warhol]
i’ve got this, erm, polaroid picture, and it just takes the face of the person, i+i haven’t learned how to do the body yet, but they usually… always come out great

[verse 3: marc almond]
but in my head, it all played out
in a silver+foiled room at the factory
joe dallesandro, candy darling
jackie curtis and pope ondine
a crazy, groovy warhol scene
the velvets playing “heroin”
and nico danced in [?] lights
and lou reed had me in his sights

[chorus: marc almond]
he saw me, and he said “hi”
and i said “hi”, and he said “gee”
and he asked me, and i asked he:
a polaroid of me and he?

[interlude: unnamed female and andy warhol]
i’m the new girl in town, and i meet rita hayworth, jane fonda, lana turner, kim novak, all the glamour girls. and i interviewed them and kept them apart, and then at the end of [?]
oh, just… well, actually, just, i try to make… try to make people look good. that’s what i did
[verse 4: marc almond]
new york city, 1981
i was lost in the junkie jungle
called to the factory on union square
for a warhol introduction
and now, if we exist at all
a polaroid stuck on my wall
feel like my dreams
were really just nothing at all

[chorus: marc almond]
he saw me, and he said “hi”
and i said “hi”, and he said “gee”
and he asked me, and i asked he:
a polaroid in he and me?

[outro: marc almond, andy warhol and unnamed female]
this picture just takes a… picture of, um… just the face, and that seems to, err, i don’t know, there’s something about the camera that makes it look, err, make it just, um… just right. and it… it takes their head shots, it’s like getting a passport picture. i, uh, y’know, take a half a picture from a picture and another picture and from…

(a polaroid, polaroid, polaroid, polaroid…)

i’m the new girl in town, and i meet rita hayworth, jane fonda, lana turner, kim novak, all the glamour girls
it just takes the face of the person, i… i haven’t learned how to do the body yet… i+i’ve done it, but not really. they usually always come out great
