You're a rhyme without reason
And you know it so well
Well, who's the king of the season
Well, you never can tell
Though it's so plain to see

You think you like to be normal
You think you're in control
But the action you take
Only makes you small
Just like the way it should be

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me

You're a book out of nowhere
Being read all the time
And the things that you give me
Only shows that you're blind

And when you know it's all over
And you're goin' insane
Oh, I'm just there to remind you
That I can't feel no pain
Why don't you let it be?

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister

'Cause I'm not afraid to fall
No, I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid at all
Doo doo doo doo doo doo at all
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, come on

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister

Having just earned something like 39 million doing the latest Bond film, Daniel Craig also talked about slitting his wrists if he had to do another.
there's something plain wrong about that. 
BTW, death masks have been used since the time of Tutankhamun.

More rockin' Swedes. I'm impressed. It must be the long winter nights that lead to such creativity. This is a 'surround sound', right enough, a really big guitar sound. An immediate 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Are death masks spooky, or what?

Soundtrack is OK - but the Ark is crap crap crap - like most everything on the Swedish airwaves, which is why RP is the only answer for "radio" in Sweden.

They released their fourth album in early 2005, which was a major letdown - very bland compared to the album from which this song is taken.

I disagree here. Yes, I like the tune a lot, but the "songwriter stuff" as you put it is what distinguishes RP from many other music sources. It's that eclectic mix that makes it so damn enjoyable.

As always with music I find on "Six Feet Under"... ...this is utterly brilliant. It was even better in the context it was used in the show. I don't hear the Franz Ferdinand thing suggested before at all. The driving beat reminds me once again of The Stone Roses, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, et al... There is SLIGHTLY less layering of guitars on this but still...
