The Damned - Fun Factory

A song by The Damned. Fun Factory was recorded in 1983, but label Bronze bankrupted, so the release was delayed to 1991! It is one of the first (if not the first) songs recorded with BrynMerrick, who replaced Paul Gray in March that year. The song style is similar to single Lovely Money or album Strawberries.

LYRICS:
Won't you take me on a video nightmare yeah
The pictures they will play
Hey hey hey
It's Ok
We can play
Fun factory

'Cause I have been to hell and I've been back
All in the period of one day
Hey hey hey
It's Ok
We can play
Fun factory

I kneel before the one I must serve
That keeps us both alive
It's so fine it's sublime
Just take me to the fun factory
(Fun factory)
Life is not all that conjours
Just grin and turn the dial
Well it's me it's obscene
Lets scream Fun factory

Let me take you to a place that knows me yeah
A place I'm sure you've seen
Hey hey hey
It's Ok
We can play
Fun factory

The talk is cheap you know the guns are roaring now
I'm snoring though not asleep
Hey hey hey
It's Ok
We can play
Fun factory

I kneel before the one I must serve
That keeps us both alive
It's so fine it's sublime
Just take me to the fun factory
(Fun factory)
Life is not all that conjours
Just grin and turn the dial
Well it's me it's obscene
Lets scream Fun factory

I'm losing my mind
Squandering my days
They're wasting my time
Take it away

II kneel before the one I must serve
That keeps us both alive
It's so fine it's sublime
Just take me to the fun factory
(Fun factory)
Life is not all that conjours
Just grin and turn the dial
Well it's me it's obscene
Lets scream Fun factory

I always thought he sang " I kneel before the ONE EYED MONSTER that keeps us both alive"!

[PeSkeleton]

@RedBryn Maybe... I put the lyrics that I found on the web, but actually I also hear "one eyed monster".

[TheBleech]

I think you will find that Paul Gray replaced BrynMerrick in1980 ish, for the Black album...

[PeSkeleton]

@TheBleech Paul Gray replaced Algy Ward in 1980 (when Ward was sacked). In March 1983, Paul left and was replaced by Bryn Merrick.

sounds like a nintendo game

[DieRacheDerNatur]

It's "I'm going to come back from the dead."

[RedBryn]

@beanpunk Ha! Sounds better like that, doesn't it? I can't imagine the Damned kneeling to serve any fucker, & one eyed monsters sound more in keeping with the band's comedy-horror aesthetic, so I'll stick with that! :)

[beanpunk]

@RedBryn hahahaha i did too, i still sing the same now tho!
