Marc Almond - The User lyrics

rate me

Here he comes with a snake on his tongue

Dripping with gold from bad deeds well done

Got a silk new shirt

And a line in stick

He's drop dead gorgeous with a cocaine kick

He's a sharp dresser made in heaven

(That's his style)

He's a sticky salamander with a Hollywood smile

There's a gleam in his eyes

When he's feeding you his lies

Believe him: he's a saint with a hundred alibis

And he's aiming for the jackpot

He knows its best to wait

Softly softly gets the monkey

That's the way he operates

He's a User

He's a User (the User the User)

(Chorus)

User

He's a User (the User the User)

User

He's a User (the User the User)

And if you meet the User

Then you're gonna be the loser

Tough

Had enough?

No?

Well that's tough

Here he comes with a girl on each arm

Weaving webs of deceipt with a barrel load of charm

You've got to watch your wallet if he comes within reach

He's as slippy as a barber's comb

He's gonna suck you like a leech

Dishing all the compliments

He won't leave you alone

He wants to be your confidante

He wants to get inside your home

He's doing very nicely for a bit of a rogue

But its a long way from the gutter to the cover of Vogue

Girls all want to wed him

gay guys want to bed him

But those who he screwed up on the way

Only want to dead him

He's a User

He's a User (the User the User)

(Chorus)

User

Tall walking

Smooth talking

Looking for some good luck

Back slapping

Back stabbing

Looking for a fast buck

Tall walking

Smooth talking

Looking for some good luck

Back slapping

Back stabbing

Looking for a star fuck

Do do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do

He says

'In this life you've got get what you can

If you want to get along

You got to do what you must

Its a mutual trust

Ooh ooh Got to get what you're due

Its dog eat dog

Its do what you do

If you're not using them

Hah! They're using you!'

(Chorus)

User

(Chorus)

User

(Chorus)

User

He's a User

And an abuser

And you're the loser

'Cos he's gonna smooze ya

He's a user, abuser, a smoozer

(You're) the loser

User User

And you're the loser

An abuser

He's gonna smooze ya

Had enough?

Yeah?

That's tough!

That's tough!
