Bela Lugosi may be dead,
But that ain't stopped me thinking,
About the days back in the Cave,
And what we did when we were drinking,
A lot of speed and a lot of coke,
A whole can of hairspray,
More bleach than a man can take,
But it seemed to work out OK....

Cos it stands to reason
I'm more goth than you,
I was playing the clubs
When you were only 2,
And it stands to reason
I'm more goth than you.....
But I never got a date with Siouxsie Sioux.

And now I'm a bearded grandad
But that ain't stopped me gigging,
My shaven head ain't there by choice,
Or the heartburn cure I’m swigging
I walk the walk, I talk the talk,
I'm just a whole lot older,
I used to be the pin-up boy,
In times when I was bolder,

We used to sing so much about death,
Of darkness and despair,
The time is coming pretty soon,
When I will not be there…

But it stands to reason
I'm more goth than you,
I was playing the clubs
When you were only 2,
And it stands to reason
I'm more goth than you.....
But I never got a date with Siouxsie Sioux.

It stands to reason
I'm more goth than you,
I was playing the clubs
Back in 1982,
And it stands to reason
I'm more goth than you.....
But I never got a date with Siouxsie Sioux.
