Intruder

One main version:

* (1982) - Premonition (2:17), Under Triple Moons (2:17)

The song fades in cleanly from silence, and crossfades out into "Premonition 2."

Instruments: Drum machine; electric guitar; organ chords; two vocal tracks; bass guitar; keyboard melody; sped-up laughter snippet.

What It's About:

The narrator is offended by something awful, and he wishes that somebody would remove it from his sight. We never learn what this object actually is.

Lyrics (adapted from the Cloud-Zero archive):

It's incorrect, defected, ejected.
Leave it with the garbage in the garage.
Will you get it out of here?

'Cos it does me in, it's sinful,
it stinks. Inhuman.

Incinerate, exterminate,
take it, hide it.
It offends me with its grin!

That evil grin, it scares me.
Staring, glaring, I swear it's laughing...
...so darkly. It's dirty.
A dud, a dreg, a dreadful mess like that can't be for real.

Unreal, of lots of fitting labels.
Start a crossword with a single clue.

But will you save me the trouble?
Go flush the thing away.
Away. Away. Away. Away...
