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....
|
My favorite is The Passion of Lovers. Just has a nice, creepy vibe to it.
|
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. |
Mine is probably "Dark Entries". I really enjoy the aggression and the tempo. Oh... and also "Fish Cakes"... that song rocks.
|
Of course, Bela... I Just adore that song!
|
Agreed, I just can't get over how good Bela is....sigh.
|
I love the song Crowds
|
Bela Lagusi is dead
|
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' |
Spirit - for sure one of my all time favorites
Kick In The Eye Who Killed Mr. Moonlight |
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. |
Hollow hills, Passion of lovers, Bela Lugosi's Dead, and The Sanity Assasin...oh and She's in parties.
|
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) |
Sanity Assain
Bela Lugosi's dead Hollow hills |
The B-side to 'The Passion of Lovers' with the fishcakes rant! if you havn't heard it it is wonderful!
|
"A Kick in the Eye," "Dancing," or "She's in Parties." Those would be my favorites.
|
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 |
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 |
I love Double Dare, but I also really like their David Bowie cover of Ziggy Stardust. Both are amazing.
|
My favorites are "Double Dare" and "She's in Parties."
|
Bela Lugosi's dead, A Kick in the Eye and, of course, She's in Parties.
|
Awwwww, I forgot 'She's In Parties' too. Add that to my list.
|
i like spirits the best...either that or stygmata martyr
|
I like "Zombifi-........Oops wrong band.
|
Mine just so happen to be...
'Stigmata Martyr' 'Hollow Hills' 'Kick In The Eye' 'Third Uncle' 'God In An Alcove' and 'Sanity Assassin' |

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.) |
Who killed mr. Moonlight?
I love that song.... |
I love all songs
|
"God in an Alcove" they did such a great job with that song during their concert on Gotham and "She's in Parties"
|
lillies and remains, she's in parties, and kick in the eye.

"Bela Lugosi's Dead" and "Stigmata Martyr"
|
God in an Alcove, Bela Lugosi's Dead, She's in Parties, Double Dare, Who Killed Mr Moonlight, Dark Entries, Sanity Assasin, Crowds, Slice of Life
|
Bela Lugosi's Dead (sound great)
Passion of lovers (I love feeling of this song) |
Kick... in... the... eye!
Followed cloesly by spirit. |
Wo killed Mr. Moonlight or A kick in the eye. ^.^
|
I like 'She's in parties.'
|
Shes in parties. Is my favorite. Great mood, Lyrics and music.
|
I agree that's also a great song. =]
|
.... 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. :) |
She's in Parties and Telegram Sam

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

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.
