BAUHAUS – In Fear Of Fear

You fear the lesson
And fear to walk
And fear to pass on
Your fear to talk

The teacher was feared
Your parents too
Then you became
The fear of you

Fear

Look to yourself
Climb over the wall
And see behind
That you’re not so small

Then you won’t blame fear
When competing’s too much
As you fall on your back
As you fail to touch

Fear

And I say to you
When your fear is strong
When you fear your life
Then your fear is wrong

Set free your past
So shredding the skin
Then you won’t fear
The fear of sin

Fear

BAUHAUS – Hope

Your mornings will be brighter
Break the line
Tear up rules
Make the most of a million times no

BAUHAUS – Honeymoon Croon

Honeymoon croon tonight
Sew my socks tonight
I say whose on the rare tonight
Lurking lipstick tickle fickle
Marylin’s on
Send her by air mail, PAR AVION
Certificate X tacy in my head
Hire out Sybil Vane for my bed
Croon croon tonight
Honeymoon tonight
Sew my sock tonight – tonight
She insists on tying down
After the soldier sailor curfew
All alone in the cathedral bar
She preys in dockland
He asks to see her hidden side
She, the color of his money
Honeymoon croon tonight

Marylin fading fast better get straight
The catch from the sidewalk is in a state
The sound of footstep – mummy’s here
I’ll be a good boy I’ll never fear
Better fix her drink tonight bed time’s come
Must blot out this urge to use my gun

BAUHAUS – Slice Of Life

Her gaze hit the side of mine
So I opened it out
To destroy what you thought was difference

So I lied to you once again
So I painted over you once again
So I die before you once again
‘What’s the difference’

Come clearly where the flavour is
Seen here in black and white
You’ve got two seconds baby boy
In burning light white light
‘What’s the difference’

Clear up what you are
Burn out these eyes
Rip up this place and scream
‘I am your slice of life’ [x4]

Shivering under lamposts
Shivering under glass
Your standing on charisma again
God knows it cannot last
‘What’s the difference’

Ice inside your body
Blood inside your soul

Yet still twelve faces stand around
Hugging your skinny bones
‘What’s the difference’

So clear up what you are
Burn out these eyes, rip up this place and scream
‘I am your slice of life’ [x4]

And the car opened him up to so much more
And the money is brighter with a wider smile
And the problem expands inside your head

‘I am your slice of life’

BAUHAUS – Hair Of The Dog

The man who was mortally wounded in war
Kept on fighting
The man who was cut to the quick by love
Kept on loving
The man who was merciless tortured by thoughts
Kept on thinking
The man who was crippled with concern
Kept on caring

Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog

The man whose eyes were sore from obscenities
Kept on looking
The man whose heart bled, killed by compassion
Kept on feeling
The man whose legs buckled under exertion
Kept on running
The man whose ears burned to the sound of his own name
Kept on listening

Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog

BAUHAUS – Ear Wax

Hazy four o’clock shadows
Commence the seance
Nine lives on the spirits

‘Til the desert suns prevail
In every scream eternal

Locks out boredom forever
Paints your fishes black

It’s so exciting
Separate hearts
Midnight

Midnight close

Almost crying
Underneath the vine
Fly like the jet
The tan and white
Evening

I hear whistling
In my ear wax
Seven shapes
Black

BAUHAUS – Dancing

Dancing on hot tiles
Dancing on tender-hooks
Dancing down church aisles
Dancing on holy books
Dancing on crocodiles
Dancing on hallowed ground
Dancing Nyjinsky style
Dancing with the lost and found

Dancing on rock’n'roll’s grave
Dancing on burning coals
Dancing on ‘Jesus saves’
Dancing with old scratch soul
Dancing on flick knives
Dancing a stiletto groove
Dancing our nine lives away
Dancing in the Louvre

Dancing in catacombs
Dancing in tuxedo drag
Dancing in dark rooms
Dancing on all your flags
Dancing in the Vatican
Dancing on the papal gown
Dancing on the taxman
Dancing on the crown

We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune

BAUHAUS – Antonin Artaud

The young man held a gun to the head of God
Stick this holy cow
Put the audience in action
Let the slaughtered take a bow
The old man’s words, white hot knives
Slicing through warm butter
The butter is the heart
The rancid peeling soul

Scratch pictures on asylum walls
Broken nails and matchsticks
hypodermic hypodermic hypodermic
RED FIX

One man’s poison another man’s meat
One man’s agony another man’s treat
Artaud lived with his neck paced firmly in the noose
Eyes black with pain,
Limbs in cramps contorted
The theatre and its double
The void and the aborted

THOSE INDIANS WANK ON HIS BONES [repeat]

BAUHAUS – Crowds

What do you want of me
What do you long from me
A slim Pixie, thin and forlorn
A count, white and drawn
What do you make of me
What can you take from me
Pallid landscapes off my frown
Let me rip you up and down

For you I came to forsake
Lay wide despise and hate
I sing of you in my demented songs
For you and your stimulations
Take what you can of me
Rip what you can off me
And this I’ll say to you
And hope that it gets through

You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl arise
And like the Jesus Jews you epitomize
I’ll still be here as strong as you
And I’ll walk away in spite of you

And I’ll walk away
Away
Walk away
[repeat]

BAUHAUS – Antonin Artaud

BAUHAUS – All We Ever Wanted Was Everything

All we ever wanted was everything
All we ever got was cold
Get up, eat jelly
Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
Squash every week into a day

The sound of the drum is calling
The sound of the drum has called
Flash of youth shoot out of darkness
Factorytown

Oh to be the cream
[repeat]

BAUHAUS – Here’s The Dub

Hot lines under a rain of drum
Cigarette props in action
Dialogue dub, now heres the rub
She’s acting her reaction

She’s in parties
