Post one of your fav written songs!

Here is mine!






In starlit nights, I saw you So cruelly, you kissed me Your lips, a magic world Your sky, all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon

You
You will be
The death of me
With your smile like a veil
You have led me down an unfamiliar trail
With your lies your lies your lies
And your perfect pale thighs
I was blind but now I have seen
That you will be the death of me

But one day you'll grow old
And the perfume will have faded from your hair
And then you'll see my face
In the locket that I gave into your care

And your lies your lies your lies
Will make your boat capsize
And you'll drown in an unforgiving sea
Darlin that is when you'll think of me

And your lies your lies your lies
And your perfect pale thighs
I was blind but now I have seen
That you will be the death of me

Lips Like Sugar, is another one I like by those guys. A lot of bands did versions of that song, plus live versions by Echo and the Bunnymen. Good stuff, thanks.

Here's a favorite Echo song from the brief period when Ian McCulloch quit the band for a solo career and they decided to carry on under the same moniker with a new singer/lyricist (the brilliant Noel Burke). Hardcore fans rebelled and the record went nowhere. A true shame because it's a fantastic record that stands on its own, and I'm a huge Ian fan.
Under any other name I think it would have gotten the recognition it deserves.




DEVILMENT

Devilment's accomplishment
The devil remembers you found
Your true vocation
To live beyond your station

Shaking leaves wrapped in quotations
Rolling out saliva on salvation
All the more
And all that you've been looking for

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
All for one skin
All for one mind

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
Staggering blind
As you chase time
Waste time

Blank expression, blanker verse
It could get worse
If all your past precedes you
To find the soul to take you

Muffled shout of indignation
Lost their worth
And meaning in translation
Unhappiness will quantify the moral

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
All for one skin
All for one mind

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
Staggering blind
As you chase time
As you waste time
As you waste time

Devilment embarrassment
The face in your old mirror
Now just hates you
And your pain escapes you

Eyes are lost in contemplation
Hands are trembling
Heads gone on vacation
And settled scores are all
That you've been fighting for

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
All for one skin
All for one mind

Flawed by design
Speak as you find
Staggering blind
As you chase time
As you waste time
As you waste time
You waste time
You waste time
You waste time

Good band, good song.

Any opportunity to post a clip of them.
Here they are playing at Glastonbury back in '97 with my old mate Mike Lee drumming for them.



The only time I saw them live they were rather less animated on stage, complete darkness and motionless....weird.

It's a fantastic album throughout. Like I said, between the fans and the critics it was doomed from the start. I recently got a mint copy of the LP from Germany. The shipping was 3X what I paid for the record but still totally worth it.
