Soft Cell - Polaroid lyrics

New York City, 1981
I was lost in the junkie jungle
I called in to the Factory on Union Square
For a Warhol introduction

He saw me, and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee"
And he asked me, and I asked he:
A polaroid of me and he?

Saw right through him, and he through me
Transparent men and mannequin
"Great" I said, and he said, "Gee"
And that was it, and that was we

He saw me, and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee"
And he asked me, and I asked he:
A polaroid of me and he?

I've got this, erm, polaroid picture
And it just takes the face of the
Person, I I haven't learned how
To do the body yet
But they usually... always come out great

But in my head, it all played out
In a silver-foiled room at the Factory
Joe Dallesandro, Candy Darling
Jackie Curtis and Pope Ondine
A crazy, groovy Warhol scene
The Velvets playing "Heroin"
And Nico danced in oil wheel lights
And Lou Reed had me in his sights

He saw me, and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee"
And he asked me, and I asked he:
A polaroid of me and he?

I'm the new girl in town, and I
Meet Rita Hayworth, Jane Fonda, Lana Turner
Kim Novak, all the glamour girls. And I
Interviewed them and kept them apart
And then at the end of
Oh, just... well, actually, just
I try to make... try to make people
Look good. That's what I did

New York City, 1981
I was lost in the junkie jungle
Called to the Factory on Union Square
For a Warhol introduction
And now, if we exist at all
A polaroid stuck on my wall
Feel like my dreams
Were really just nothing at all

He saw me, and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee"
And he asked me, and I asked he:
A polaroid in he and me?

This picture just takes a... picture of
Um... just the
Face, and that seems to, err, I don't know
There's something about the
Camera that makes
It look, err, make it just
Um... just right. And it... it takes
Their head shots, it's like getting a
Passport picture. I, uh, y'know
Take a half a picture from a
Picture and another picture and from

(A polaroid, polaroid, polaroid, polaroid)

I'm the new girl in town, and I meet
Rita Hayworth, Jane Fonda, Lana
Turner, Kim Novak
All the glamour girls
It just takes the face of the person
I... I haven't learned
How to do the body yet... I I 've done it
But not really. They usually
Always come out great
