Now I'm really gonna burst your bubble

“There’s something a bit peculiar in every one of us, and I think that when you reflect everybody’s secret fantasy they get a bit worried and try to hide you in the cupboard, really.”

“[People] always want to know – am I gay, bi, trans or what? I say, forget all that. There's got to be a completely different terminology and I'm not aware if it's been invented yet. I'm just Pete.”

How very remiss of me - I almost missed the fact that the "Freak Unique" himself, Pete Burns would have celebrated his 65th birthday this week!

Let's make up for that, shall we?

Dead Or Alive - In Too Deep

I could offer you a thousand things
But with a lot of them, you wouldn't bother
I could buy you ten real diamond rings
But I'm sure that you would want another
I could take a plane and I could fly away
I could steal a car and I could drive away

You have brought me a lot of things
But the main one that you've brought was trouble
You put your finger to the trigger and you shot my heart
Well, now I'm really gonna burst your bubble
I could take a plane and I could fly away
I could steal a car and I could drive away

But I'm in too deep, there's no getting out of it
In too deep, no doubt about it
In too deep, there's no getting out of it
In too deep, no doubt about it

I could call you a lot of things
I could say there'll never be another
Every time the situation feels like it is close
I've got to turn around and say don't bother
I could take a plane and I could fly away
I could steal a car and I could drive away

But I'm in too deep, there's no getting out of it
In too deep, no doubt about it
In too deep, there's no getting out of it
In too deep, no doubt about it
In too deep (There's no getting out of it)
In too deep (No doubt about it)
In too deep (There's no getting out of it)
In too deep (No doubt about it)

We still miss him.

Peter Jozzeppi "Pete" Burns (5th August 1959 – 23rd October 2016)
