stumbles around…those dark empty eyes
No embers just ashes…he sees me
No time for pity…own self to blame
Wearing shoe souls…they see me
(He’s nothing, she’s shit, they fascinate…
a junkie, a saint as they stumble
…around)
Dissolving away…first a tooth, then a face
With his radio off, he can hear things
To the people around them
They’re a sorry mistake
(angels all burnt out and fallen from…
angel’s all burnt out and fallen from
…grace)
they’re nothing, they’re shit
just flotsam adrift
wino’s and saint’s
with their halo’s askew
they’re nothing, they’re shit
just flotsam adrift
angel’s all burnt out
and fallen from grace
Part of a person…stumble around
Moth to lighthouse…phantom earth-bound
Blood like water…washed out, fading
Carry no burdens…dissolving away

I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti
