Scary films don't scare me now,
That you're around.
Since you been around;
Nowadays I never cry,
When the monster kills the guy,
And the psychopathic wife kills the husband with a knife

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Scary films just make me smile,
When you are here.
When you are here.
In your arms I'm not afraid,
When the aliens invade.
And the vampire's just a joke,
'Cause I know he's just a bloke.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Zombies marching through the mist,
Make me think of being kissed.
And I don't care when peoples' heads,
End up being torn to shreds.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Thanks for clearing my dreams




I love the story that he tells at the start of this video

Actually just remembered, I used to take COMPLETELY the wrong message from this song The song is meant to be about someone who is no longer scared of horror films because she has her partner, but I thought that it was that she isn't afraid of horror films anymore, because her ex-partner is so scary that horror films are nothing in comparison Shows how my mind works

It's not my favorite track from Pictures, but still allright to listen.

I love the live version, when I first saw the AVO session....

During the concert in Düsseldorf, Katie told a story about one of the previous concerts. When she was performing that song and came to the line "the psychopathic wife kills her husband with a knife", she saw a couple sitting in one of the first rows. The woman was pointing to her husband (or boyfriend) and made the gesture like cutting his throat (I hope you know what I mean...). That kind of "scared" her and she pointed out that this is not the message of the song. So you're maybe not the only one who has difficulties understanding it...

Concerning the song: It's one of my least favourite album tracks, I find it a bit annoying. I neither really like the lyrics nor the melody.

Maybe not

My dad’s favourite. Don’t know why I have to admit..
It’s not bad of course, but somehow far from being my favourite.

In some lines I like the lyrics very much, for example:

"... Zombies marching through the mist,
Make me think of being kissed.
And I don't care when peoples' heads,
End up being torn to shreds ..."

I could really imagine Katie, who loves horror films, enjoys singing this lines.

Never thought of that meaning before! But come to think of it, why would anyone be with a partner who was scarier than a horror film?

EX-partner

But doesn't it say 'now that you're around, since yo've been around'?
Sorry, being pedantic, I still like your interpretation best!

Yeah But see, I thought it meant "since you were around like", since you've been around me, not necessarily with me, if you get what I mean

Not one of my favourite from Pictures but I did like her performance of it at the RAH.

Not the "scary film"-type of guy. Sorry Katie!!!

For me it is one of my favourites of Pictures. Wow, how much power has that song, unbelievable. and Live it is even much more powerful. Yesterday, I listened to the Live version in my car. I pretty thankfull that the boxes are still in my car!!!

That song rocks!!!!

I didn't like it very much the first times I listened to it... But it's like some other songs of "Pictures", the more you listened to them, the more you like them...

Brilliant song live too

This song is strange for me... Actually, I don't think it's a great song, which is rare when I'm talking about Katie's. But I also can't say that it's a bad song (I'm talking about the melody)... but I guess it's thanks to the live version I heard in Paris, and to the great talent of Katie. However, the lyrics are great

I tend to agree with you, it's a bit of a second division kind of song but I still like it. However, it does contain one line that I think is a silly lyric: Zombies marching through the mist, make me think of being kissed. I know there are plenty of tongue-in-cheek lines in Katiedom but this doesn't even try to make sense!

I like the fact that Mike originally wrote it as some sort of "joke". But I really like it. I think the lyrics are really good, cause they actually make sense and it's not just the same lines over & over again. I like that.

Yeah, especially "Zombies marching through the mist make me think of being kissed"... I wonder how much Mike has drunk before writing such a line. It's almost worse than "If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.".

Okay, so that particular line is a little far fetched. But some of them are good, I think.. most of them, that is. Like; "And the vampire's just a joke, cause I know he's just a bloke" and "And I don't care when peoples' heads end up being torn to shreds". Those are, IMO, pretty neat.

I really like this song, it always put's me in a good mood. the lyrics are really funny.

i love it,especially live,and the lyrics, i have to laugh still when i hear her sing this song,its not her best song but its not a bad song neither.

For me, it is an amazing song. Endless Power in it. Katie really rocks!!!
