Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead (live)

Live at the Old Vic in London, 1982.
Lyrics:
White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead

I'd like to express my GRATITUDE to "Michael Patrick" & "Margaret Ellen Murphy" for "reproducing a son" who's nothing "short" of a GENETIC MASTERPIECE!!!... Sometimes, I "wonder" if "Peter's" even an "earthling"... He might've literally "landed" in "Northampton, England" and been "adopted" by this kind "couple"... It is such a "redudancy" where such a very physically BEAUTIFUL being is "fronting" a band that created even its very "own music genre"!!!.... Way beyond MIND-BLOWING!!!....

Arguably one of the greatest 80's dark goth bands of all time. These guys are like what Kraftwerk is to Electronica music. I like both Genre's!

[John Oroszi]

Nowadays vampires, goth & dark music are not the same as before.

[yallow rosa]

Mostruosa !

[Francesco Paolini]

Has anyone noticed that the scene at 4:54 is very similar to the scene of the opening of the case in Pulp Fiction? It's possible that Tarantino quoted this?

[todoaciento]
