M is for Muscle Museum

She had something to confess to
But you don't have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you'd never shown her
Too little much too late
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I've made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own
I'll do it on my own



Muse is a phenomenal band. Seriously. I love this song, from their album Showbiz. It's one of those hidden gems from earlier Muse (after Absolution...which spawned Hysteria).

Honestly, the basslines that Muse use are incredible. I strive to emulate such complexities in the music that I write and I feel that I succeed. This song is in the key of A, with FCG as sharps and it really gives the song a very sorrowful and haunting tone, which is perfect for the lyrics.
