I can see you've got the blues in your Albert Hall shoes. A fantastic performance of Crocodiles with some great dancing from Mac and the audience. Royal Albert Hall, July '83.

An absolutely terrific song from Electrafixion. I knew when I first heard this song (live) that Ian and Will had it in them to return to their old ways. To me, this song ranks alongside the best of the original Bunnymen material (the "Porcupine" / "Ocean Rain" days).
(And yes, there is a shot from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in this slideshow. It was perfect, and I'm not sorry.)
Lyrics:
There's a broken-down castle With blood on the battlements You know how it's gonna end With a forgotten angel Who'll never be able To soar with the gods again
You never know N-n-no...
There's a plague in the wind That's sweeping us in With a sadness that comes to us all At the edge of a cliff Is a bottomless pit Where all of us have to fall
All the kings and queens And knights in shining armor All the holy ghosts And all our holy fathers
Take what's yours and take it boldly And boldly go where you tread so coldly The drop is sheer and never holy Just you and you alone Ride the wave when it comes crashing Be the knight in a shining costume Slay the dragons if they're asking For what you've always known
All the kings and queens And knights in shining armor All the holy ghosts And all our holy fathers
Gotta get me in...
There's a broken-down castle With blood on the battlements You know how it's gonna end With a forgotten angel Who'll never be able To soar with the gods again There's a plague in the wind That's sweeping us in With a sadness that comes to us all At the edge of a cliff Is a bottomless pit Where all of us have to fall
And someone above Is handing down love Putting a twist in the tale And left it too late For someone who hates To get to the holy grail
