Favourite Bauhaus Song
 
Good Morning, Good Evening, Good whatever! This being a Goth Forum Website thingomabob, I'm guessing that there's bound to be someone here who LOVES Bauhaus...anyway, I just wanna ask, what is everyone's favourite song? Mine's Double Dare, man, that song is psychadelic....

LegendGirl 09-08-2005 07:39 AM

My favorite is The Passion of Lovers. Just has a nice, creepy vibe to it.

MrMaelstrom 09-08-2005 07:56 AM

Crowds

"...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..."

Great fucking lyrics, and the song is sung and played beautifully.

One of my favorites:

Sanity Assassin


Sinister echoes clutching at straws
Letter boxes screaming
You try to pin him to the wall
You end up on the ceiling
Locked in a dome
The shadows flicker by
He's the madcap pusher
Delerium the drug he's dealing

He drops a capsule in your drink
And spikes your dreams with madness

He's the sniper in the hills
Hiding the holes in your head
He's the poison in your poison
The razor in your head
Hanging on a picture
Eyelid needle and thread
You empty yourself once again
But he's always one step ahead
He whispers in your ear
was it nothing that you said
He's walking in your sleep now
He keeps your fat paranoia well-fed

He drops a capsule in your drink
And spikes your dreams with madness

The sanity assassin
Stays up all night stalking
The sanity assassin
Picks off victims like flies
The sanity assassin
Let his fingers do the walking
The sanity assassin
The crack shot between your eyes
He's got you in his sights

He drops a capsule in your drink
And spikes your dreams with madness

The razor in your head
He's the poison in your poison

Drops a capsule in your drink

I think mine would be Nerves, off In The Flat Field. Love those cascading toms and plink-plonk piano, and the way it picks up in speed and intensity towards the end.

The Passion of Lovers, as mentioned, is a close second too.

Kushiel 09-08-2005 03:16 PM

Mine is probably "Dark Entries". I really enjoy the aggression and the tempo. Oh... and also "Fish Cakes"... that song rocks.

cyberJade 09-08-2005 07:40 PM

Of course, Bela... I Just adore that song!

sartain 09-20-2005 10:40 AM

Agreed, I just can't get over how good Bela is....sigh.

sorrow 09-20-2005 03:31 PM

I love the song Crowds

One_Second 09-20-2005 07:00 PM

Bela Lagusi is dead

ExistentialDisorder 09-26-2005 03:49 PM

Spirit - (reminds me of Lestat playing Lelio in the theatre jumping through the rafters and singing so loud people's ears were bleeding)
Also:
Bela Lugosi's Dead
Silent Hedges
In The Flat Fields

And my favorite Peter Murphy song would have to be 'I'll Fall With Your Knife'

BlackHat 09-28-2005 04:57 PM

Spirit - for sure one of my all time favorites
Kick In The Eye
Who Killed Mr. Moonlight

Shemjazza 09-29-2005 11:13 PM

I would have to say that my all time favorite is 'Kick in the Eye (Searching for Satori)'
but i have just reaquired 'Burning From the Inside' on LP, and have been thrashing 'King Volcano'. it is just so creepy. and that makes it cool. god i am just a walking Cliche today.

PanicQueen 10-06-2005 11:54 AM

Hollow hills, Passion of lovers, Bela Lugosi's Dead, and The Sanity Assasin...oh and She's in parties.

demoncross 10-06-2005 05:04 PM

Spirit
King Volcano
Spy in the taxi cab
In the flat fields
Hollow hills
She's in parties
Sanity assasin
The party of the first part (wish I knew what movie they sampled the voices from)

Noire 10-07-2005 04:55 AM

Sanity Assain
Bela Lugosi's dead
Hollow hills

Shemjazza 10-07-2005 08:26 PM

The B-side to 'The Passion of Lovers' with the fishcakes rant! if you havn't heard it it is wonderful!

Junk Bond Trader 10-10-2005 08:38 AM

"A Kick in the Eye," "Dancing," or "She's in Parties." Those would be my favorites.

Cinka 10-12-2005 11:59 AM

Another relevant thread. I didn't actually come here to promote my show, but this seems sort of fitting. PodCast Dark Culture is playing a Tribute to Bauhaus this week, along with the various projects spawned from Bauhaus. Check it out: http://www.darkculture.net/podcast

She's In Parties

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and Drinks
The graveyard scene
The golden years

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

Freeze frame screen kiss
Hot heads under silent wigs
Fall guys tumble on the cutting room floor
Look-a-likes fall on the cutting room door

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and drinks
Freeze frame, screen kiss, hot heads, lights and power
It's patently obvious

She's in parties
It's in the can (twice)

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
It's in the can

cannibalnuns 01-15-2006 03:52 PM

Well I really liked their cover of "Ziggy Stardust." But that is not an original song now is it. So I suppose I would say "Hollow Hills."

Hollow Hills--

Ancient earth work fort and barrow
Discreetly hide their secret abodes
The most fearful hide deep inside
And venture not there upon yuletide

For invasion of their hollow hills
The music hold and oberon fill
Is surely recommended not
For fear of death in fear of rot

Hollow hills
Hollow hills
Hollow hills
Hollow hills

Baleful sounds and wild voices ignored
In luck disaster the one reward
Violated sanctity of supermen’s hills
So sad love lies there still
So sad
So sad
Hollow hills
Hollow hills
Witches too and goblin too and speckled sills
Lament repent oh mortal you
So sad
So sad

Metatron 01-15-2006 04:08 PM

I love Double Dare, but I also really like their David Bowie cover of Ziggy Stardust. Both are amazing.

Underwater Ophelia 01-16-2006 05:23 PM

My favorites are "Double Dare" and "She's in Parties."

JuliaGaltic 01-16-2006 06:07 PM

Bela Lugosi's dead, A Kick in the Eye and, of course, She's in Parties.

Metatron 01-16-2006 06:23 PM

Awwwww, I forgot 'She's In Parties' too. Add that to my list.

oddmusician 01-16-2006 06:30 PM

WolfMoon 01-17-2006 12:56 PM

Iriacynthe 02-06-2006 08:07 AM

All we ever wanted was everything.
It's just one of those songs that make me forget everything else. It's rather depressing, but so goddamn beautiful.

I like she's in parties and Bela Lugosi's dead too, but they're just good, and not I-think-I'm-going-to-cry-beautiful.
(In fact, I might be a little bit too sentimental.)

Bete Noire 02-06-2006 10:27 AM

Who killed mr. Moonlight?
I love that song....

Defy 02-11-2006 11:23 PM

I love all songs

Broken Dawn 02-13-2006 03:04 PM

"God in an Alcove" they did such a great job with that song during their concert on Gotham and "She's in Parties"

Frappo 02-20-2006 09:15 PM

lillies and remains, she's in parties, and kick in the eye.

homo-adonis 09-13-2006 05:02 PM

Shes in parties. Is my favorite. Great mood, Lyrics and music.

Slap Your Love 09-14-2006 05:24 AM

I agree that's also a great song. =]

Delkaetre 09-15-2006 09:07 AM

.... I love a lot of them.
I feel that Stigmata Martyr and St Vitus Dance don't get enough love.
I could listen to them on loop for hours. :)

badteccy 09-18-2006 02:42 PM

She's in Parties and Telegram Sam

Crimson_Terror 09-24-2006 04:10 AM

She's in Paries, The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, Mask

Starrchile 09-28-2006 05:34 PM

Kick in the eye, she's in parties, stigmata martyr are a few of my tops. I have to admit, I love their version of Ziggy.

And Bela? Well there are Bauhaus songs and then there is Bela.
