    I don't understand why Scissor Sisters have not taken off in America the way they have here!

    I've been dying to see them and I managed to get tickets before they sold out for Wembley in November this morning.

    Has anyone seen them live?

    I've never heard of the Scissor Sisters, but it sounds like they're a naughty pair.

    I saw them on SNL a while back. They do have a hit right now: Take your Momma Out. My hubby loves their cover of Comfortably Numb.

    Never heard of the Scissors Sisters. Though I've never heard of most of the groups today. I'm so out of touch w/the music that is popular now. I'm from the sixties and I still like the music from that era, blues, folk, and some of the ' 80s hair bands.

    LOL Finally Free - there are four of them!

    I love the Pink Flloyd cover too.

    And I'm glad to hear they are making themselves heard Stateside now!

    "Return To Oz"Once there was a man
    who had a little too much time on his hands
    he never stopped to think that he was getting older.
    When his night came to an end
    He tried to grasp for his last friend and pretend
    That he could wish himself health on a four-leaf clover

    He said is this the return to Oz?
    The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
    There's a wind-up man walking round and round
    What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

    Its three o' clock in the morning
    You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
    She says that they're all dead
    She tried the last one on
    It couldn't speak, fell off
    And now she just wanders the halls
    Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all

    She says is this the return to Oz?
    The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
    There's a wind-up man walking round and round
    What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

    The wheelies are cutting pavement
    and the Skeksis at the rave meant
    to hide deep inside
    their sunken faces
    and their wild, rolling eyes
    But their callous words reveal
    That they can no longer feel
    Love or sex appeal
    The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal

    To return to Oz we've fled the world
    With smiles and clenching jaws
    Please help me friend from coming down
    I've lost my place and now it can't be found
    Is this the return to Oz?
    The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
    There's a wind-up man walking round and round
    What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

    Saw them at the Glasgow Barrowlands (top venue) just as they released their first album. And they were indescribably good. I'd do them all if I had the chance. Maybe they're just too good for the USA...

    I'm off out to shake my ass, maybe to the SS. Have good weekend Crumpers.
