Jesus Jones - Idiot Stare Lyrics






I played with the fire
Stared at the light, screamed at the pain
Pushed to the centre
Took no advice, waited in vain

I questioned it too
Thought about me, thought about you
The corruption between us
The power and lies, dreams come true

I don't know if I care
I can't feel, I can't speak, I can't think
Caught in an idiot stare

I won't let it go
Hold it to me, it's mine to the end
A shadow that hugs me
My black dog, my enemy friend

I don't know if I care
I can't feel, I can't speak, I can't think
Caught in an idiot stare

    Poor Jesus Jones! Just like EMF and PWEI, the public would not let them grow up! Big shame as Perverse, Stigma and Dos Dedos Mis Amigos are all brilliant albums.

    L.... C....

    Stigma is one of my all time fave albums. The production is stunning. What on earth made them think they could do it themselves on the next one? ;-)

    L.... C....

    oooh burn! tbh i enjoy cha cha cha stiII - it's just a bit vast and varied! there's some great stuff though (skin, west of the cox, secrets, breeding u dry etc) and it sounded great Iive (saw them on that tour).

    L.... C....

    All about cure for sanity, not so much dos dedos

    L.... C....

    Fancy seeing a post from YOU on this song! :)

    L.... C....

    Oh my yes. Love both albums! Stigma and Perverse are works of art. Those albums came at an odd time: transition from GNR to Grunge. Probably better received in the UK? But it is/was a cult thing in the US. Still is. Good enough to make one of those bands make a new album in 2017.

  7. c.... m....

    I MISS THIS TIMES VERY GOOD MUSIC!!!!

  8. n.... ....

  15. G.... H....

    Great song, awesome cd...this track sounds like what 'Filter' based some of their sound on with 'Title of Record'

  16. h.... ....

    Perverse was when JJ were at their pioneering best. I love their other albums, but they were far more interesting when they delved more into the electronic side. Already had some very good songs, but it should have taken a more dance direction, rather than trying to make a 'band' album, as by 1997 there wasn't much to attract new fans and the album totally bombed. London, despite a few good tracks was several leagues below Perverse.

  17. B.... a....

    Best tune from the Best Jesus Jones album

  18. J.... S....

    Flash backs!!! Love JJ!

  19. S.... ....

    Brill track

  25. c.... ....

    got to see these guys play at the boat house in norfolk Va back in 91 with Neds Atomic Dustbin. What the fuck happen to this world?

  26. J.... H....

    idiot stare....

  27. q.... ....

    You got it spot on there, T! It's criminal that they were not acknowledged as the geniuses we all knew them to be.

  28. C.... ....

    This song always reminded me of Transformers. I am talking about the FANTASTIC 80S Transformers. NOT THE GARBAGE NOW TRANSFORMERS.

  29. M.... R....

    This album is maybe the most underrated ever... it's absolutely fantastic. Every song is a 90's milestone.

  30. G.... ....

    fucking best song ever. Industrial mainstream before NIN

  31. j.... ....

    Bumped into Al the bass player (he went by Jaworski then) every night for a week at Gas Panic in Tokyo, summer of '93.

    Good times, dude's crazy.

  32. R.... M....

    I like it!
