Primus - Scissor Man Lyrics
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil doers games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names
So be kind and helpful to your mother
Just think twice before you try and steal
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers
You may find the wounds will never heal
All self made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won't be frightened when you find out
You're on his list
You're on his list
So be good and never poison people
Just think twice before the deed is done
When you wake up guilty in the morning
You may find important pieces gone

Primus Scissor Man Comments
A strange and questionable opening track for an album. Still genius tho in it's own right.
I really wonder if Les ever met daevid allen or at least had some admiration of love for Gong. Although VERY different in music and performance there seems to be an odd connection at times. But not here.
About record my version of XTC's Scissor Man after recording Outside World.
Stay tune ... a Jazz guy going back to his 80's New Wave / Punk Roots !
Heh. I think Roger Stone is in his book of names, now.

I've always put Herb and Jayski ahead of Brain, but he is fantastic on this track. Some of his best work with Primus.
well, brain is incredibly clean and he mostly leads the song (mostly in brown album), I would really put him between jay and herb (not that jay is bad but I would prefer brain).
Yeuteamo
Love this tune... it sets a lovely inter monologue of song and dance✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️💮💮
Sounds better then the original, IMHO. I can't say the same of Primus' cover of "Making Plans for Nigel" since the drums are different.
i much prefer primus' "nigel" personally
Well, you're obviously the master, so let's hear your extended review...
"Making Plans for Nigel" is actually not that different, the drumming is actually pretty consistent to the original, it's just that bass hit is a quarter hit.
I also don't see why you would favor something over the different types of drumming.
Austin Lucas and no.
Soooo many great Primus songs
Boco, this song was written by XTC. The Original by XTC is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqA28wFRvHA
@Big Small_Travel performed greatly by primus though.
Dude this is a cover of XTC
Brain Mantia !!!!
Very close to the original. I like how some of the parts have been transposed between the instruments.
Jack Handy that's Primus for ya! Look up their cover of Master of Puppets
