Ian Hunter - Fiction

〈Verse 1〉
I am your fiction man
I manufactured me
I am your fiction man
I'm your very own potential spam
I am your fiction man
I got my fiction style
I am your fiction man
And I can drive nonfiction wild

〈Chorus〉
And I am not alone
I am not alone
No, I am not alone
I am not alone

〈Verse 2〉
I am your fiction man
I am your one of us
I am your fiction man
So let's all run away and join the circus
I am your fiction man
I'm what you think I'm not
I am your fiction man
You're 50% of what? What? What? What?
〈Chorus〉
No, we are not alone
No, we are not alone
No, we are not alone
We are not alone

〈Verse 3〉
I am your fiction pill
I'm in your fiction prayers
You are my congregation
You are my yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir
I stuff poison in your eyes
I stuff poison in your ears
I stuff poison down your throat
And I don't think there's an antidote

〈Chorus〉
And you are not alone
No, you are not alone
I say you are not alone
You are not alone

〈Bridge〉
Any reason to believe is all you need
Any reason to believe is all you need
Any reason to believe is all you need
So you believe in fiction
You ain't got any choice so no no no
You can't argue with fiction
Oh yeah
〈Instrumental Break〉

〈Verse 4〉
I am your fiction man
All logic is a lie
I am your fiction man
And you don't even stop and think
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
I am your fiction man
You're in my fiction power
You swallow my fiction whole
Hour after hour after hour after hour

〈Chorus〉
And we are not alone
No, we are not alone
I say we are not alone
We are not alone

〈Bridge〉
There's a reason why people out there packing heat
There's a reason why bullets fly down the street
There's a reason why kids hide under the sheets
There's a reason why reason is obsolete
'Cause we believe in fiction
We ain't got any choice so no no no
You can't argue with fiction
No
〈Outro〉
I wish we could be real
But we've forgotten how
Our lives are fiction now
Our lives are fiction now
What's normal anyway?
What's normal anyway?
What's normal anyway?
What's normal?

Ian Hunter Patterson, stage name Ian Hunter, born June 3, 1939, is an English singer and songwriter, best known as the lead singer and primary songwriter for 1970s glam rock band Mott The Hoople and, following the band’s initial demise in 1974, as a much vaunted solo singer/songwriter in his own right.

As for his signature dark glasses look, he has explained that is due to his having “extremely weak eyes and … I am almost albino.”.
