Sad Lovers And Giants - In Flux (1983)
Dead Can Dance - Ullyses (1988)
In former days
The masks were raised
When the god came down from off the mountain,
And a sacrifice was made
For they knew the day of wrath
Was fast approaching.
And Also The Trees - Scythe & Spade (1987)
The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings.
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
(The Glories of our Blood And State by James Shirley)

Kiss me just once again
And i’ll be on my way
Kommunity FK - Junkies (1985)
Bauhaus - Departure (1988)
He tried to will himself back to bed
He wanted desperately to feel the reassuring crisp, white sheets once taken for granted
To be back home, safe as houses, protected by walls covered in familiar patterns
But even wallpaper had become sinister to him
He remembered staring into the paisley print and seeing a repetition of skulls
At night he would listen to the click of heels on the concrete outside
And try to imagine the facial features of the unseen figure
He would always see his own face

And Also The Trees - The Renegade (1985)
“I will learn to love hatred.
Since they cut out my tongue,
it seems that another
tongue has been wagging in my head.”
The Renegade by Albert Camus
The Sisters of Mercy - Alice (1993)
The Bolshoi - Modern Man (1986)
He used to care about important things
Like doing his hair and wearing rings
But that was just a phase and he grew out of it.
Now he says, “Hey, look at me,
I got my new boots on down by the sea”
well that’s no crime, he does it all the time.
The times I dream of, days of old
The men were strong and knights were bold
Modern Man came down among us
Gave us truth, eleven plus
And then he sends us all the dramas
Left us there in our pajamas
Trying hard to see the sun And live a life back on the run
