XTC - 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

XTC Scissor Man Comments
Holy fuck, this is so ahead of its time. Came out in 1979, could have come out in the 21st century. I'm really enjoying XTC, they have such a unique sound.
They are most unique, catchy, smart band ever. You should listen other albums by them and enjoy little secret of true music lovers
@Bruno Radisic this band were the Beatles of the new wave era...late 1970s early 80s... genius...
This is fine, Like good jazz.
The uncut version.
"You guys are great! Not like that Swindon lot."
--David Brent
Why is this band so underrated? I’m baffled
because they suck shit.
Having a breakdown in the middle of a tour, becoming a studio band, and having years of litigation with your record company are bad for mainstream fame. Loads of musicians love them though, I think that counts for at least *something.*
Just brilliant. And Complicated Game comes after this one.
80's tripping music. Remember smoking to this and thinking what the fuck.
the DRUMS ON THIS TRACK..
They must have listened to Sparks

Na na na na naow!..Andy, I love ya.

always love hearing the beggining..
It’s beautiful
XTC SWNDONS finest ..... go Andy Partridge
i worked on toothill in the 80's i remember the painting on the side of the wall in the old town, someone drew a helmet on Andrews thumb.he thought it was funny
woooo i forgot this one too .... how bad am i .....
I was kind and helpful to my mother.....honest.
Thumbs up for your icon.
I was brought here by Struwwelpeter :)
Can we get a Clock Tower music video to this? Somebody? Anybody?
GENIUS=ANDY PARTRIDGE/TERRY CHAMBERS/COLIN MOULDING/DAVE GREGORY=XTC
he'll yes!
I had always thought Primus wrote this. No idea that it was a cover.
Same with Miscellaneous Debris. Makes you think that Claypool just might have liked XTC a bit during his formative years.
Primus also covered "Making plans for nigel" another XTC song
Daniel Diasio I think rhinoplasty is a full cover album?
Primus have covered a few of XTC songs
I guess I should listen to more XTC...is what I gather. Why this is just now occurring to me. Yours is as good a guess as any
DECADES before Dexter.....Snipping....snipping...SNIPPING...CUTTING!
That intro can only be described as 'surprisingly staccato!'
underrated for sure!
