///*****/// [Live sleazy hard rock / glam-punk stomper] [Heavy swaggering bass riff, dirty electric guitar, punchy live drums] [Distorted synth stabs, low analogue growls and rhythmic electronic accents] [Raw female lead vocal, sarcastic, teasing and aggressive] [Large live crowd, natural cheering] [No psychedelic space rock, no glossy glam production] [Intro – spoken over crowd noise] [Low bass feedback, dirty synth pulse, sparse guitar noise] [Female vocalist – amused, dangerous] Yeah, you liked the boots, didn’t you? The way I walk. The way I bite. Guess what? You just made the list. [Four-count] [Full band enters with heavy strutting riff] [Verse 1 – cocky rhythmic vocal] [Prominent overdriven bass] [Stomping drums] [Dirty stop-start guitar chords] [Synth punctuates selected lines] You said I was your wildest flame, Fur like silk and a riot name. You loved my eyes, you loved my boots, Said I looked hot in leather suits. You watched me strut, you played it cool, You thought I didn’t see you drool. But I clocked your twitch, your second glance— At that other fox in leather pants. [Pre-Chorus – tension pulls tighter] You said I'm everything, your star, But baby, I know what you are... [Brief stop] [Chorus – huge crowd chant] [Band hits every title shout] [Synth stab reinforces each FAKER] [Crowd joins immediately] FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! Liar with a sugar tongue, Slick as oil, full of dung! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! Said you loved me — WRONG AGAIN! Fox bites back, you won't pretend! [Verse 2 – heavier groove] [Bass dirtier, guitar more aggressive] [Drums add larger fills] [Synth-bass doubles riff in short bursts] Said my bass was your heartbeat crash, That I made your dark world flash. You liked the howl, the midnight shows, The claws, the grind, the ripping throes. But then I saw your little trick, Whispered words and foxy flicks. She ain't got what this fox has— So I’ll bury you in broken glass. [Hard band stop after “glass”] You said I'm everything, your light... But boy, I'm aiming to ignite. [Chorus – louder, crowd stronger] FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! Leather kisses, acid lies, Tail between your legs and cries! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! You can't tame this flame tonight— Fox unleashed, and out to bite! [Half-Time Breakdown] [Heavy floor toms and snare] [Low guitar riff] [Dirty mechanical synth pulse] Soft fur... sharp teeth... You wanted both, now you get grief. You played the game — But I burn the rules! [Complete stop] [Call-and-response spelling] [Lead vocalist calls letters, crowd repeats] [Band hits each letter] F-A-K-E-R! YEAH YOU’RE A—F-A-K-E-R! [Final Chorus – controlled chaos] [Huge crowd chant, full band] [Heavy bass, wide guitar, pounding drums, synth punches] FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! FAKER! You said “forever” — I said “NEVER!” You’re done, you're dust — you're off my tether! [Outro – instruments strip away] [Guitar drops out] [Drums reduce] [Bass and low synth remain] Slick smile… twitch tail… Guess I should thank her. I needed an excuse. To scream… [Pause] FAKER. [Massive full-band hit] [Hard stop] [Crowd erupts]
