Christian Death (Rozz Williams) =============== Spectre/Haloes/Skeleton Kiss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by: John Mc Donagh (mcdonghj@unix2.tcd.ie) Phil Jeffcock (P.J.Jeffcock@bradford.ac.uk) Version: 0.2 (3 November 1993) A close approximation to the lyrics to the 3 songs on the Deathwish EP whose lyrics aren't included with "Only Theatre Of Pain" are available from ftp.maths.tcd.ie as will these lyrics. There are some TABs there too for guitarists. All corrections(there are many needed) and requests welcome. Spectre(Love is Dead) (From "Invocations") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Expecting turn as the bullet pains (a play on pain/turn) The bed is tangled on the floor (You'd better start and get out boy ?) Last night was all a mistake, love You've gotta wanna stay, I wanna stay You can't always want always You go slow and go slower I found your soul smashed on these stairs Right or wrong? Lament stands backed in corners (It's all a mistake) You know you're sorry, you're sorry, you're sorry, your soul... (It's all a mistake) Put our loved ones in the oceans (It's all a mistake) We've spent our loving on the cold steps But one of these days Can our love be strong? Oh don't say no You're sorry, you're sorry, your soul Your soul is old boy You found it stolen, it's stolen You found it stolen, it's stolen (It's all a mistake) You're falling onto roses... Oh... How can the stolen be sto...love child bring holding between us You fall in love but still it must be me You fall in love but still it must be me You fall in love and not a stone will grow (It's all a mistake) You fall in love when it's dead and not a stone will grow (It's all a mistake) You'd better not stay, not stay You'd better not stay, not stay Oh only now (fall on me now ??) Oh only love is dead Oh only love is dead Oh our love has been stolen You'd better not stay, not stay (It's all a mistake) You'd better not stay, not stay (Oh our love has been stolen) Oh only now (It's all a mistake) Oh only love is dead (Oh our love has been stolen) Oh only love is dead Our love is stolen (DEF: stoLen) Haloes ~~~~~~ Night is long Breathing in (it is gone) silence awaiting the Angels Don't you sometimes feel like breaking the haloes Hail to the faithful In mourning yet still grateful Like broken wings don't sleep light in the mud Unwelcome sleep pulls from my chest The white whirls and black shadows (white worlds ?) Saliva forms the ring Fire is strong Lighting the candles (it is gone) that burn white a tingle While every church is a cry deep in his marrow Hail to the faithful In mourning yet still grateful Like broken wings don't sleep light in the mud Unwelcome sleep pulls from my chest The white whirls and black shadows (white worlds ?) Saliva forms the ring Haloes gone Removing the laurels, replace the crust Sing applauds embracing dust Their voices covered in rather life, suppose Air falls out Air falls out Follow down Heart of stone Pray for them Saliva forms the ring Breathing in silence awating the Angels Don't you sometimes feel like breaking the haloes Breaking the haloes... Skeleton Kiss (Fright and Alternate Death mixes, from single) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scratch, scratch, should be there Misdirections of rotting corpses I'm now sulking in the corner Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Skeleton closets, close up tight A perfect illness gone clear of life In the frightened presence Nailed to a heart felt decision If God turned today I'd meet you in hell Will I meet you in hell? Yes I'll meet you in hell Will I meet you in hell? Look in the eyes of the six fingered beast Percussion is a cancer spreading to your cage Blue light, beauty's got it's victim by the tail (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) I'm sleeping, in a sleep upon a bed of nails Won't you wake me up with your kiss And give me One moment of bliss Flesh to bone is a purity process Touch.. touch.. before the fall Before the fall, before the fall (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Temptation is food, open your mouth and accept it Open your mouth and accept it... Skeleton Kiss (From "The Iron Mask") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scratch scratch, should be there I think of adventures of admiring corpses I'm retiring in the corner Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Skeleton closets, close up tight Perfect illness gone clear of life In the frightened presence Nailed to a heart felt decision If God turns today I'll meet you in hell Well I'll meet you in hell, Will I meet you in hell? Yes I'll meet you in hell Look in the eyes of the six fingered beast Percussion is a cancer spreading to your cage Blue light, beauty's got it's victim by the tail (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) See beginners on a bed of nails Won't you meet me up with your kiss And give me One moment, one moment of bliss, one moment of bliss Flesh to bone is a purity process Touch.. touch.. before the fall Before the fall, before the fall (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) Temptation is food, open your mouth and accept it Open your mouth and accept it...
