had this on cassette back in '82 and listened to it almost every day on my Sony Walkman while Sk8in' down the Redondo/Hermosa/Manhatten strand looking for chicks.on beach cruisers in bikini's. Yeah buddy. still love it all these yrs later.
Saturday night 2am a loud party in the flat under mine. Grabbed my 2 Speakers face side down and gave Blue Monday a blast. 10 minutes later... Silence!
Back as a spotty teenager, smothered in 'Blue Stratos' aftershave, dressed in the 'club gear' giving it some in a smokey, grotty night club!. 🤣 Still have my original 12 inch of this in a plastic cover. Played once and 'taped'.... If you know you know that last bit!. 🤣
Can't believe that this album is almost 40 years old. Skinny Puppy had really made a massive impact on industrial genre. Raw emotions, song structure, lyrics, beats, samples and so on are mixed decently in such musical pieces
I bought the 12" when it very first came out....wore it out literally....and bought another. I was a teen and this Tune was the best thing to ever hit my ears and i still love it now, and forever. ❤
1. Those fortunate risk fate To alleviate A fear from within Clawing to trust someone Monogamy Sits uneasily Ice that don't heat Freeze Howl, hollow howl In vast space All light displaced We can kill desire Albatross worn Subvert to twist an old poem Not enough to be hooked on Artful rhetoric Lessening the grip Letting it all slip Futures tick tick tick tick tick Altruistically we've come a long way Man and woman raping from the Earth Worming what it's worth Right wing ricochet displays The evolution of decay Oh, just go away See rock shows near New York City Get tickets as low as $50 You might also like Addiction Skinny Puppy Worlock Skinny Puppy But Daddy I Love Him Taylor Swift Infant hospital Winged protection Infected the new born dreams A life that cannot be Intuitive grease paint Drooling to relate All of life's mistakes Hitting in the face Orchard, putrid smile Head of state State headless states of being As right up against what's wrong The disease believes To push away normality Alone with virtue What's there left to do? A virus threads poetry Written time dogmatically Life's plague, the first aid Acquired deficiency Spreading it aimlessly Have heart, crash course Caustic dripping Grins the reaper Body count intensify Getting weaker Moisten the soul away Clouded and vague Throw free love to history Masters of nothing Living's now a precious aim A precious game ...he's doing okay so far, but just wait Just wait Just wait Just wait Just wait Just wait It's very uncomfortable, very difficult for him
2. Desperate Deranged Talking in my sleep again Eyes twitch Retain A sentimental something "[...] looked on, and we burned, and burned! -- I was a cinder body and soul in my dream." [Chorus 1] Breakdown amidst the mixtures Avoid addictive plea Responding disillusion Encrusted cruelty Describe why nails enclose me Eating so evenly There exists a lot of reasons To support fatality [Verse 2] Abstinence possessed Hardly what you think it is Hearts beat positive Provided there's progress Ignorance does insist Of the right coffin See rock shows near New York City Get tickets as low as $50 You might also like Shadow Cast Skinny Puppy First Aid Skinny Puppy Worlock Skinny Puppy "I took some of the food he offered me Crossing myself [...] and drank the wine Which the feverish thirst of terror [...]" [Chorus 2] Breakdown amidst the mixtures Avoid addictive plea Insist that nothing happened Chilled bloodless fatigue Recharge with bitterness Fanatics beckoning Mistook a look impassioned Absorbed with clarity [Bridge] Consciousness drifts away Discarded memory Packaged shelf life bad display [Chorus 3] Breakdown amidst the mixtures Avoid addictive plea Excessive near romances Comfort is treachery So pound the nails in tight Eyes screaming out of sight Against a grain like curtain Unbearably alive
3. They live on fear, they live on fear, they live on fear They live on fear, they live on fear, they live on fear They live on fear, they live on fear, they live on fear They live on fear... You got that last slaughter on tape, you play it on the radio Magnified fear Stares back the mirror Reflect depravity The shadow cast a feeling Of ill harmony So crisp, the famines itch A withering shoreline, tears of grey Interspersed with withered fruit Her gloomy banquet of cheer Heaven, heaven, oh what a sweet plain Douse the ecstasy, the imagination drained away Perpetual reverie abruptly fade Heaven's soothing, some say Tremulous hand jabs from behind Sticks in the back for all to see Organs spilled, leak of will Void of secrecy See rock shows near New York City Get tickets as low as $50 You might also like Draining Faces Skinny Puppy Addiction Skinny Puppy Worlock Skinny Puppy They live on fear, they live on fear They live on fear, they live on fear They live on fear, they live on fear Genuine tears Delights the taste Pain salts the bitter brew Rich in guilt To absorb the filth She worships a point of view Scarce the thousand remnants Black charred flesh A victim screaming Heaven, heaven or hell What's the difference? One to believe in One to live in, careful balancing What's hell to heaven's only flame? You got that last slaughter on tape, you play it on the radio It's a dog eat dog world, and from where I sit, there just ain't enough damn dogs It's a dog eat dog world, and from where I sit, there just ain't enough damn dogs
4. Cut tear taking life too serious recreates a void not Unlike walking infinitely blind through rooms strewn with razor blades I see what you mean what you say duck the issue and Treat as humor gorging forcing pointless impediments strangling Deform more than known know to never be ciao
5. Along the cracked in floors Dripping on the floor There sits a doctor Murder samurai Hit numbers calling Gave up all Old eye Shy nose on the wall A cracking membrane turn The message Those eyes Warn and pull out the young Eye Why arms creak Wishing higher Caught the point Whore introvert Maybe she'll have a chance one day But the world watches with heart Rid her arms out Rip her arms out
It wasn't good then, and it sure hasn't aged well. I had a ticket for a cancelled concert with OMD (which they didn't call themselves yet) in Copenhagen in 1981, and I had to wait until Feb. 2020 to watch them - my last gig in 22 months due to Covid. No concerts in 2021, which was the first time since 1977...🤔
I remember I was on the dance floor with my favorite girl - I loved her so much, we never came together... 💔 When I hear this 12inch today I'm in another world - on the dance floor with her for 12 minutes...
