Marc Almond - The User lyrics
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!
