The Gun Club - (1994) - Idiot Waltz

[fuguestateless]

That line don't make it here no more nothing reanimates the old times black clouds to the west darkness coming from the East Side Get your friends out of the car! we got a date in the trees tonight take off your clothes, you ain't going far you're going to give me fun tonight Turn on the headlights for the Idiot Waltz turn on the lights watch us fall Your body don't get me off no more it takes a lot of smack to do that we never made love in the trees or took you down on your mat

[fuguestateless]

Now, winds of change are blowing out the fire I feel your breath on my neck I hear the darkness and wires Turn on the headlights for the Idiot Waltz turn on the lights watch us fall It was foolish to be alive It was foolish in a foolish time Turn on the headlights for the Idiot Waltz turn on the lights watch us fall

[fuguestateless]

This is the saddest most beautiful song ever. RIP Jeffrey.

ask 100 people about the gun club, you are lucky to get one person who knows who they are. theres a bar around where im from that plays them regularly though. needless to say its one of my favorite dives. a type of place jeffrey might have appreciated.

Great song. Thanks for posting.

I was a little late getting into The Gun Club, but I'm so glad that I finally discovered this great band. Big JLP fan here. He was amazing.

Hey, great writeup! I've loved The Gun Club for longer than I care to remember. I got to see them one time only but what a time! At London's Town & Country Club, 1990 when they were supported by Those Immortal souls. Sometimes I daydream about how someone would find one last unreleased Gun Club record hidden away in a vault. And then I come to my senses. But "Lucky Jim" is a fine fine last record.

@GyntherMeyer Hey there may have just been typo but the band was - THESE Immortal Souls, led by the recently late but immortal Rowland S Howard

thanks man for the words.

this song and that record are unique.
