About

Chris Cunningham, acclaimed director and visual artist, ended his 7-year hiatus on producing music videos after hearing “Sheena is a Parasite” (on either Myspace or Jarvis Cocker’s Radio 4 Show depending on who’s telling the story).

Sheena Is a Parasite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sheena is a champion of self-reliance
As soon as she needs it
She knows just where the knife is
Her fingers aren't so fast anymore
It's been 29 years since she came to these shores

[Chorus]
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite

[Verse 2]
Send her back to the sea they cried
But Sheena spat bile until they let her lie
She claims she's working for the Lord
But you know what she's looking for

[Chorus]
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite

[Verse 3]
Sheena's ambition sneers at your routine
And behind that glass she sits, cold
If Sheena was buried no one would care
She hates everyone she knows, no one

[Chorus]
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite
Sheena is a Parasite

[Outro]
Send her back across the sea
Back across the sea
