“Cemetery” was originally composed by frontman Daniel Johns as a solo acoustic piece while still living at home. Originally, Johns had no intention of including it on a Silverchair album. In interviews, he revealed that he was initially apprehensive about presenting “Cemetery” even to his bandmates...
[Verse 1]
Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate
I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well, I guess it's fate
[Verse 2]
I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see, I have no specialty
Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom
[Chorus]
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
[Outro]
I live in a cemetery
