Oh yes...
... all is possible until we have a definite version from the band.
And even then, lyrics are always open to adjustments in live performances
depending on circumstances, which I think is a good and healthy thing.

When did you last write a new song?
The last time I decided definitively that a song was finished and untouchable was 2010. I’ve written a lot since then, but I’m still tinkering with them. I like to tinker. With computers, information is much more fluid now. A file is infinitely modifiable. So it’s a bit hard to decide when something’s finished. That fluidity does tempt me to be very absorbed with tinkering, which I find a very fulfilling process in itself.
Interview from 2016...so we maybe shouldn't hold our breath for finished lyrics just yet

Do we have any idea what that supposedly finished song he's talking about is?
Far parade, perhaps? Hahaha

Show me has been stuck in my head all week.
At the risk of ruining this song for everyone....
On the flight home from Brizzy I dozed off and was sort of singing Show Me in my head, but someone was watching a gardening thing on their Ipad in front of me and now I keep singing "Show me Monty Don."
I am sorry.

And so you should be...fancying snooping over someone’s shoulder to watch a gardening programme...how very goth of you...were they showing how to plant and maintain black roses....

Was listening to this the other day and it occurred to me "Barbie Rock and Roll" might also refer to our new Australian member. Barbequed rock n roll, who could that be?

And we have the livenews page with the lyrics:
SHOW ME (2020)
Show me isolation
Show me disintegration
Show me reality
Show me stupid on tv
Show me pop music
Barbie rock and roll
Show me in translation
Show me on the doll
We have love
Like love
We have love like love
We have it simulated
Show me isolation
Show me disintegration
Show me your reality
Show me stupid on tv
Show me your pop music
Barbie rock and roll
Show me in translation
Show me on the doll

While i was fb-killing time while listening to a podcast, i discover this
It seems there is a movie called "On The Doll"
here are more infos about it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Doll
and
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493439/reference/
i am not sure, but i have the feeling that it could have some connection with Show Me

(my first post): Has the quite widespread sarcastic meme about hurt feelings been considered? (example:
https://knowyourmeme.com/search?context ... n+the+Doll ) On a side note (maybe a bit far fetched) there has also been this guy Klaus Barbie...

Welcome to HL, PuppetTroops ...

IMHO, this song is in one line with the
Comfortably Numb / SKOS medley from the 1990s. And maybe also with
Under The Gun.
Anyway, it is very obvious a clear Sisters song ...

But what if I sing out loud?
Because anything can happen
What if I stand up proud
And I show them who I truly am?

I guess that's illusory, at the best, and beyond a few ephemeral soon forgotten seconds ...

I think I heard “Barbie” rock ‘n roll.
Rock ‘n roll as empty, devoid of meaning?
How about “Love like love?”
How do you interpret that one?
