hello everybody!
long time!
today or maybe tomorrow i will get my new mic (Studio Projects B1), my new preamp (SP VTB-1) and my new soundcard (ESI Juli@) in the mail. After installing and playing around learning how to at least get some kind of strange sound out of the hardware I will try to record some vocals on the song Slept. The last month or so I've re-recorded all the instruments from scratch and 3 other Eldritch-songs (Dr Jeep, Valentine and Giving ground) just to have something to sing to. I don't know when but I'll write something here if I happen to record something that I'll dare to show you
I've listened to several versions of Slept and read at least 3 versions of the lyrics. The version I'll sing will be this:
Oh shake me down again. (x3)
I can wake up in this zoo.
I've been used and abused
I've been chastened I've been bruised,
I can take what I've been through.
I've been naked on the news,
I've been debased and disabused,
Just meet me downtown when you're through
Turn me over, Turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin.
Girls on smoke and girls on weed,
Girls on coke and girls on speed,
Girls who choke and girls who smile,
Girls who swallow in denial,
Girls in crisis of the hips
Girls with eyes as white as Egypt,
Girls in cars and girls on strips,
Girls in bars and girls on strips,
Girls on journeys, girls on trips,
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips,
And a girl too far with pale blue lips so shake me down again.
Girls like you have poison tips
Girls like you like pistol whips
And girls who knew the sailor's creed
With a third degree in jealousy
Turn me over, Turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin.
I would be very happy if anyone of you have any corrections of the lyrics. I mean "crisis in the hips?!?!!???" wtf...
