Fanzine Hero
    
Sissy was a bright you thing
She know all the latest hit songs
She flashed her eyes
Wriggled her things
Every time her favorite singer come on
Yes, she loved the way he moved his hips
She copied it every time
She loses her senses and she visibly melts
When he flashed her up one of his smiles
    
Sissy saved up all of her money
Pumped it down the record store dreaming
She bought all the single hit records
She nearly
Drove her parents insane

He was her fanzine hero
He couldn't do anything wrong
He wasn't of this earth at all
But she know exactly where he comes from
Yeah, she know his favorite colour
And she knew his favorite car
And she knows his favorite country
And knew his songs off by heart
 
Well, Sissy girl you're so young
Don't throw your love away on him
He's only vaguely aware that you're out there
When he checks his royalty returns
  
He was her fanzine hero
He couldn't do anything wrong
He wasn't of this earth at all
But she know exactly where he comes from
Yeah, she know his favorite colour
And she knew his favorite car
And she know his favorite country
And knew his songs off by heart
  
Fanzine heroes are all much the sane
Super-hip dudes with a fancy nave
Is it Sissy or the hero, tell me who's to blame
At the whole money spinning, manipulation game
And she gave him all her money
Pumped it down the record store drain
She bought all his single hit records
She nearly drove her parents insane

He was her fanzine hero
He couldn't do anything wrong
He wasn't of this earth at all
But she know exactly where he comes from
Yeah, she know his favorite colour
And she knew his favorite car
And she know his favorite country
And knew his songs off by heart
  
Oh Sissy girl you're so young
Can't throw your love away on him
He's only vaguely aware that you're out there
When he checks his royalty returns
