Soft Cell - Insecure Me Lyrics
It was the morning after the month before
And I'm looking like a nose with eyes
Take a trip or letter to make me feel better
Cos I know my mirror never lies
And the hand that holds the whip is not your own
Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old
Is it me that's feeling insecure?
Hiding in the darkness where they can't see your eyes
In a naked city cinema
Watch the bodies rolling around on the screen
And nobody gives a damn who you are
You're surrounded by the bitter and the boring
And again you get hurt when they're dishing the dirt
Is it me that's feeling insecure?
I haven't got time to worry about the future
When I'm busy covering up my past
Start to consider a tuck behind the ears
When I wonder if my looks will last
I could hit the bottle and the depths of despair
But come up fighting like the best
And I can tell myself that I'm winning the war
But then again I'm different than the rest
I'm not the hardest person in the world
But like the song says 'I will survive'
And I may be a wreck and a pain in the neck
But at least I feel that I'm alive
So I'll spit in your face and push you over the place
If I'm ever feeling so unsure
And you can really go to hell if you give me the soft sell
It's not me that's feeling insecure
It was the morning after the month before
And I'm looking like a nose with eyes
Take a trip or letter to make me feel better
Cos I know my mirror never lies
Have you ever had the feeling that your life's down the can
And the hand that holds the whip is not your own
Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old
Is it me that's feeling insecure?
Forget the lows
Just love the highs
And wipe that look
Out from my eyes
Forget the face
That I despise
Cos I know my mirror
Never lies
I'll come up fighting
Like the best
But then I'm different
Than the rest
And I wonder how my looks will last
Because my life is really fast
And you wonder if you're on the turn
Oh, baby, won't you ever learn
That I'm a cut above the rest
Don't worry about the way I dress
And if my make-up looks a mess
I'm not about to get depressed
Cos I'm the one that loves to lose
Just loser in my fuck me shoes
And I've got the touch
And I've got the feel
To make your good time
Really real
I'll just spit right in your face
And push you all around the place
Just love to love
Just love to live
Just love to live
Just love to love
And, baby, are you so, so sure
That you're the one that's insecure?

Soft Cell Insecure Me Comments
Coming without hands
I was 15 when I bought the Non-stop Ecstatic dancing EP -and that's what I did. Oh memories...
Freddy Snakeskin from KROQ used to play this version in the regular..
Bass started here
This has always been my theme song. Heard this when it was first released in 1982 and immediately bought the 12 inch single. Back then it was a huge hit on the dancefloor at The Monastery, City Beat, Skoochies and Tugs in Seattle where I and my fellow batcaver's would dance all night until we practically collapsed. Of course, we always seemed to have " a triple letter to make us feel better " which gave us the ability to dance non stop and feel fabulous! I really miss those days as I am sure many of us who remember and love this song do as well. Those were the best days of my life, so far anyway.........
Brilliant ♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
If you love this song be sure to check out 'Soft Cell - Memorabilia (Ecstatic Version)' on youtube
I have this 12" record, such a classic
I just love how the misery of this song never ends...Brilliant!
Moi insecure ha ha ? ❤❤....
Who is the girl who sings at 6:08?
Maybe, it could be her or Josephine Warden from the group Vicious Pink Phenomena, they also appear in the credits for Backing vocals.
No, Cindy is not on Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. Backing vocals on that album were by Vicious Pink Phenomena.
According to Wikipedia they both are. Anyway I'm not sure who it is in "Sex Dwarf", could be both as it's hard to tell how many people are singing during the chorus.
After listening to some of Vicious Pink's stuff I think it is them. The whole song seems kind of influenced by them, it's noticeably different in style than most of Soft Cell's stuff.
It's the midget from the Sleaze video.
Fekkin ACE tune....really fantastic.
Fuuuucking hell. I thought I'd heard everything - this is BRILLIANT
Oh, baby, won't you ever learn
That I'm a cut above the rest
Don't worry about the way I dress
And if my make-up looks a mess
I'm not about to get depressed
'cause I'm the one that loves to lose
Just loser in my fuck me shoes ♥
This is the song that got me hooked on Soft Cell
There are a number of B side tracks which are miles better than the main - She's Lost Control was so much better than Grace Jones's Private Life. Woman in a Man's World was better than Chaka's I'm Every Woman by any standard and this track knocks spots offa Torch though I did like it back in the day when I was a swain....
Rubbish, Torch is still miles better
for you....
I still love Insecure Me too though
oh really....
love this tune my fave tune all
...good times @ Perkin's Palace in Pasadena, CA...
@ The Odyssey in HollyWood
Yesssssss!!!!!
Their absolute best song ever and a sonic anthem of the times
Such memories....
love it!
