about

A piece of silliness that came about during an improvised rock jam at the Primrose in Leeds. As I recall, the chorus structure and story pretty much came to me on the fly, I then went home and wrote it out as a proper draft.

lyrics

I am Beelzebub, and I know your name!
I am Beelzebub, and I cause your pain!

I was with you in the schoolyard, when the kids all called you names
And they took your dinner money and picked you last in games
I was with you at your childbirth, your Mother hated you!
And I'll be right behind you, no matter what you do

I am Beelzebub, and I know your name!
I am Beelzebub, and I cause your pain!
I am Beelzebub and you won't escape me
I am Beelzebub, I hope you hate me.

I was with you at the disco when you couldn't get a date
I was with you at the buffet when you couldn't find a plate
You know you'll never get a break as long as I've a say
You're my special project, you'll never get away

I am Beelzebub, and I know your name!
I am Beelzebub, and I cause your pain!
I am Beelzebub and you won't escape me
I am Beelzebub, I hope you hate me.

And when the world is ending and there's fire in the sky
And you're looking at your past life
And you ask yourself, why?
Why was my life worthless?
Why was my life shit?
You want to know the answer?
Well, buster, I am it!

I am Beelzebub, and I know your name!
I am Beelzebub, and I cause your pain!
I am Beelzebub and you won't escape me
I am Beelzebub, I hope you hate me

There's nothing you can do
There's no way you can compensate
No light is shining through
While I control your fate
No blue skies up ahead
Just torment and dread
Don't think there's hope for you
'Cause I've got my eye on you
