Biscuit Lyrics
I'm lost, exposed
Stranger things will come your way
It's just I'm scared
Got hurt a long time ago
I can't make myself heard
[Chorus 1]
No matter how hard I scream, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Verse 2]
Full fed, yet I still hunger
Torn inside
Haunted, I tell myself, yet I still wander
Down inside
[Chorus 2]
It's tearing me apart, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Bridge]
(I'll never fall in love again)
(It's all over now)
[Verse 3]
At last, relief
A mother's son has left me sheer
The shores I seek
Are crimson tastes divine
I can't make myself heard
No matter how hard I scream, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Outro]
(I'll never fall in love again)
(It's all over now)
About
“Biscuit” is a haunting piece of music about being trapped by one’s own feelings and yearnings.
Many reviews of Dummy highlight the creative use of samples from the string section and vocals of Johnnie Ray’s “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again”, a 1950s bubblegum pop song. Slowed down to 16bpm, it turns into an eerie refrain about regret.
Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
Barrow: We had the song. We had the beat. We had the parts, but we just didn’t have the thing that was the other instrument on top. There were always records everywhere, and I just had a box of like 60s pop. It could be anything, just rubbish that I might be able to take a snare drum from or whatever. I had Johnny Ray “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” and it just worked. I had to slow it down a bit with my hands to make it fit.
Utley: It was absolutely astonishing when you first put it on.
Barrow: The worlds collided. I really like the idea of bit of slowing it down and feeling it be really rough over the top of it because it’s a rough sounding track.
