I wish I could have seen this live, when I saw them at the Showbox in Seattle, they were touring Ta-Dah at the time. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the entire venue, I can assure you. The message of this particular song is such a powerful one, the Scissor Sisters are lyrical and sonic geniuses.
Lyrics: (Tradução abaixo) 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 now and it cant 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 Tradução Retorno à Oz Uma vez havia um homem Que tinha muito tempo de sobra Ele nunca parou para realizar que ele estava envelhecendo E quando sua noite chegou à um fim, Ele tentou segurar seu último amigo e fingir Que poderia desejar a saúde à si mesmo em um trevo de quatro folhas Ele disse: Isso é o retorno à OZ? A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais São três horas da manhã Você recebeu um telefonema da rainha de cem cabeças Ela diz que eles estão todos mortos Ela tentou reanimar o último Ele não conseguia falar, caiu E agora ela só vagueia pelos salões Pensando em nada, pensando em totalmente nada Ela disse: Isso é o retorno à OZ? A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais Os motoqueiros estão cruzando o pavimento E os Skeksis na rave quiseram dizer Para se esconder nos fundos As suas faces derramadas E seus selvagens, olhos esbugalhados Mas suas palavras insensíveis revelam Que eles não conseguem mais sentir Amor ou excitação A garota da colcha de retalhos veio para selar o acordo Para retornar à oz - nós liberamos o mundo Com sorrisos e gargantas fechadas Por favor me salve, amigo, da queda Eu perdi meu lugar e agora não consigo encontrá-lo É isso o Retorno à Oz? A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais
ummmmmm. Hot Take here, but the crazy-eyed piano bit at the end ties the whole thing together and they totally jettisoned it in this live performance. I was Yay but now I'm Boo.
Just love these guys but I would have liked the guitar ending at the end of " Oz" to go on for longer cos it was great. Just as you're getting into it they finish ! 😧
Actualmente, he visto algunas fotos de Anna Matronic, no puedo creer que esté tan delgada. Que hermosa mujer !!! Es tan atractiva, sexy. Nowaday, I have seen some Anna Matronic's photos and I can't belive she's so slim. What a pretty, atractive and sexy woman she is !!!
The world is in desperate need of some new Scissor Sisters music
I agree. Unfortunately I think that most people would never understand this song n the first place. How far down do we chase those who understand?
I agree, Michael McDonald
Always thought this was such an underrated track; great to see they absolutely kill it live!
As a gay man struggling with substance abuse, meth in particular, this song is highly relatable. I appreciate the message.
This song just builds and builds and builds
My favorite song from this great band, amazing how I can listen to it hours and hours.
Same. This one and The Other Side.
This bands musical diversity was insane.
Magical dream music
I wish I could have seen this live, when I saw them at the Showbox in Seattle, they were touring Ta-Dah at the time. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the entire venue, I can assure you. The message of this particular song is such a powerful one, the Scissor Sisters are lyrical and sonic geniuses.
I was there that night. Brings back some good memories of happier times.
You guys are amazing. Wish I got into you sooner.
Such a brilliant representation of the whole feel of the film...especially the desperation of the "wheelies" ...just great 🥳👍💕
Watch the film "Party Monster" with Macaulay Culkin, right to the end credits.... The song is metaphorical (it's about Aids and New York City)
...you know... with each passing month... I think this might be the best song ever written.
Love this song even at 52
I'M DYING RIGHT NOW
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG
The best song ever 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Love this song
Stunning!
Incredible song!

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 now and it cant 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

Retorno à Oz
Uma vez havia um homem
Que tinha muito tempo de sobra
Ele nunca parou para realizar que ele estava envelhecendo
E quando sua noite chegou à um fim,
Ele tentou segurar seu último amigo e fingir
Que poderia desejar a saúde à si mesmo em um trevo de quatro folhas
Ele disse: Isso é o retorno à OZ?
A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras
Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos
O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais
São três horas da manhã
Você recebeu um telefonema da rainha de cem cabeças
Ela diz que eles estão todos mortos
Ela tentou reanimar o último
Ele não conseguia falar, caiu
E agora ela só vagueia pelos salões
Pensando em nada, pensando em totalmente nada
Ela disse: Isso é o retorno à OZ?
A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras
Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos
O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais
Os motoqueiros estão cruzando o pavimento
E os Skeksis na rave quiseram dizer
Para se esconder nos fundos
As suas faces derramadas
E seus selvagens, olhos esbugalhados
Mas suas palavras insensíveis revelam
Que eles não conseguem mais sentir
Amor ou excitação
A garota da colcha de retalhos veio para selar o acordo
Para retornar à oz - nós liberamos o mundo
Com sorrisos e gargantas fechadas
Por favor me salve, amigo, da queda
Eu perdi meu lugar e agora não consigo encontrá-lo
É isso o Retorno à Oz?
A grama está morta, o ouro é marrom e o céu tem garras
Tem um homem acabado andando em círculos
O que era uma vez a cidade das esmeraldas é agora uma cidade dos cristais
Love the film and love they've done a song about it 💚

Me encanta!
I neeed new scissor sisters album

Amo esta música com força! Return To Oz: tudo pra mim.
this has to be their best song, i do love some of the others though
I'm a trans woman who has struggled with addiction and this song definitely hits different than when i first heard it 20 yrs ago 😢
❤
FODA ❤️

This is how you tell a great band from a mediocre one, a good band sounds even better live.

This song would be better with a different twist
This is a meth song
The pink floyd inspired tracks are really spot on
