The Anomalies
The Anomalies, published as The Freaks outside of the US, is a novel by Joey Goebel published in 2003.
Plot summary
In a small town in Kentucky, five outsiders have come together: an eighty-year-old woman who walks around in cowboy boots and a Sex Pistols t-shirt; a beautiful woman in a wheelchair; a young Iraqi searching for the American soldier he wounded in the First Gulf War; a precocious young girl; and an extremely articulate African American, who seems to be constantly on drugs but in reality makes his way through life completely sober. Wherever the five "freaks" show up, people laugh at them. The passion that unites them is music, their shared dream is to conquer the world with their music, and together they form the power pop new wave heavy metal punk rock band known as The Anomalies. In the words of their lead singer, "The only way to make this a better place would be for God to drop the bomb." Alone they are only outsiders, but as a group they might just be the bomb that God does not want to drop…

Infatuation
by: Up FrontEverybody's looking for the right person
Nothing's wrong with that
I have no objection
Only trouble is, love ain't always blind
Love can be easier with the eye, than with the mind
Pretty eyes and pretty smiles, they're so inviting
And the games that people play they're so exciting
Pretty faces come attached to the wrong person
Is it love that turns you on, or infatuation?
(Chorus) (2X's)
Ain't no need to be
The victim of obsession
Find real love
Forget infatuation
(6 X's)
Doo, doo, doo... Do, do... do, doo
(Chorus 1X)
(BREAK)
What'cha gonna do when the beauty fades?
Are you gonna run? Are you gonna run? Get out of the game?
What'cha gonna do when the thrill is gone?
Counterfeit love, counterfeit love, don't last very long.
(Repeat 3x)
Infatuation!
(infatuation)
It's just infatuation!
(infatuation)
(BREAK)
More easy to say, "Bye! Counterfeit lover"
Better do what must be done... Go find another
Physical attraction can be just a waste of time
Looking for some action can only blow your mind
(Chorus 1X)
