Dark Entries
by Bauhaus
Caressing bent up to the jug again
With sheaths and pills
Invading all those stills
In a hovel of a bed
I will scream in vain
Oh please miss Lane
Leave me with some pain

Went walking through this city's neon lights
In fear of disguising my warping seathing
Pressure lines and graceless heirs
Intangible of price
Trying so hard to find what? What was right

I came upon your room it stuck into my head
We leapt into the bed degrading even lice
You took delight in taking down
All my shielded pride
Until exposed became my darker side
Puckering up and down those avenues of sin
Too cheap to ride they're worth a try
If only for the old times cold times
Don't go waving your pretentious love

He's soliciting on his tan brown brogues
Girating through some lonesome devils row
Pinpointing well meaning upper class prey
Of walking money checks posessing holes
He often sleekly offers his services
Exploitation of his finer years
Work with loosely woven fabrics
Of lonely office clerks
Any lay suffices his dollar green eye

  I like Bauhaus, in general, for a number of reasons  Their uniqueness, for starters.
  They are the grandfathers of Goth, though it's entirely unintentional.  They were a punk band, although you might call it dark punk.
  They're whole association with Goth stemmed from the one song, "Bela Lugosi's Dead".  Certain audience members took it from there.

  Another thing I like is their, shall we say, musical creativity.  They make music the likes of which I've never heard elsewhere.  It's hard for me to explain.

  Not necessarily something I like about them, as such, but something to note about this song is that the lyrics are not sung in a very expectedly rythmic way, which can make it hard to follow along.  The sung line breaks are sometimes in odd places, and "Dark Entries" is a prime example.
