Bauhaus "Spirit" Listen | Buy |
Tonight I could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet strings
I wear a coat of drums
And dance upon your eyes
Turn the tables upside down
Change the lows to highs
Change the lows to highs
I fill you up with butterflies
Crown the heads of kings
Be glad of first night nerves
For fear gives courage wings
Fear gives courage wings
If I am on the sidelines
Chances are you'll miss
Wait alone and spotlit
For Doctor Theatre's kiss
The stage becomes a ship in flames
I tie you to the mast
Throw your body overboard
The spotlight doesn't last
The spotlight doesn't last
I could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet strings
I may tap you on the shoulder
And whisper "go" in red
Strip your feet of lead, my friend
Strip your feet of lead
Call the curtain
Raise the roof
Call the curtain
Spirits on tonight
I could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Call the curtain
Raise the roof
Spirits on tonight
(We love our audience)
I have just dug out my Love and Rockets cd to add to my ipod. I have been enjoying 'So Alive' as a cool down song. How about The The - I loved them too.
Posted by: sherpamelissa at February 10, 2006 07:37 PMMelissa, for some reason I never got into The The. I'm not even sure I've heard one of their songs, even though I know exactly who they are (and can picture the cover of one of their albums - an illustration of someone screaming. Soul Mining, I think).
What songs do you recommend of theirs?
