Heartland

Through the cables and the underground now
The faceless breathless calls
This is Babel, sensurround now
This place is death with walls

A thousand nights, I've spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don't mind, I'm my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, my star,
Capricorn

December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realize, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,

My life, my heart, black night, my star,
Capricorn

I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right, they proved me wrong,
But they can never last this long,

My life, my heart, black night, dark star,
Capricorn

The dwarf plays pool to prove his height
People play games when they lose in life
There's no sport, lad, just acid tension stomach flash
A madness in my area



I have seen the birth of bad
I have seen declining tracks
I have seen the madness in my area



Understand time till I'm asked about it
Years cross-check, days become a tick
Can't remember who I've sacked, just stupid faces looking bad
The madness in my area



I have seen the birth of bad
I have seen declining tracks
I have seen the madness in my area



Former friends suck on the Fall
Genuine white crap article.
Their future cries
of broken pain are idiot victims'.
Just adds to the madness in my area



I have seen the birth of bad
I have seen declining tracks
I have seen the madness in my area



Politic comic fools in full bloom
McCarthy reincarnate soon
See the bones on the two-late faces
The me generation
See the traces of
The madness in my area



I have seen the birth of bad
I have seen the declining tracks
I have seen the madness in my area



I have seen the burrowmen
Frozen pain that is so bad
I have seen the madness in my area
Madness in my empire
In the writer
The Berlin fighter
In the mirror
The doppelganger
The new satire [boozed satyr?]

Blood and sand....

Sorry, I got carried away...will stop now

make a god of politics
make a god of police
worship it with automobiles
worship it with screams

his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his feet with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light

make a god of useless drivel
sew it at the seams
float it down the river
where the sewage is the sea

his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his teeth on razorblades
and out of him came stupid light
that's flowers

Capricorn isn't a Sisters song...

I'm aware that it is a Mr Kilminster ditty

I think Motorhoof have far more relevance on this board than comments regarding nine inch zilch

Very true, very true. However, this is "Favourite Sisters Lyrics"

But then who am I to berate folks for going off-topic?

Also managed to slip in some Psychedelic Furs and The Fall

I did wonder what the ones I didn't recognise were. Thanks!

Well worth checking out Psychedelic Furs as their lyrics do resemble Sisters lyrics somewhat

adopts gruff voice...."Isn't she....pretty in pink"

Haahaa.

I opened the box
Of imperial love
And to my surprise
I found twenty five warriors
With ribbons

You bought a mask, I put it on
You never thought to ask me
If I wear it when you're gone

No, it's just the optimism of youth showing. Truth is, love doesn't exist at all, and I'm sure he's realised it by now.

i just thought it was a funny take on life.........one night stands and the like....not necessarily "love".
