no, i'm not myself today
je suis salome i am romantic
je suis apollo i am gigantic
hey! stronzo,
i'm standing next to you in the supermarket
yeah! you are obvious i am oblivious

salome, apollo, in technicolour
i walked on the moon to touch the stars,
a legend in my lifetime
oh momma! my rosa! from an early age
i was used and abused, no more those bad reviews
take me back to '72 my coo ca choo,
oh! ignorance was bliss,
spunk-a-flow, to the joy of my first kiss

i'm not me i'm not me i'm not me not me
non sono io!

oh mi lord, i'm so bored, what's on the tv?
do we really need these pissy pop stars
when there's not enough of me!
oh dada, my dali, un chen de lou lou
i am the art in your party,
not a twist cap sniffing bore
it's tough in the queue, it's as unto a platform shoe,
oh! trampled underfoot,
i'm fred astaire, i face the music and dance

i'm not me i'm not me i'm not me not me
no i'm not myselftoday

oh glorioso deliver us not into frustration

salome, apollo, in technicolour,
i walked on the moon to touch the stars
hey stronzo ancora!

i'm not me i'm not me i'm not me not me
non sono io!
heave ho heave ho

leonardo! marlon brando! machiavelli!
and bertolt's belly!
a millionaire with curly hair, i'm your burning empire

greta garbo! andy warhol! and his jam-roll!
nero plays his violin, seezer his accordian

i'm sitting in the bathtub watching the dirty water
swirl down the plughole and on my stereo
is caruso
