Clock DVA - 4 Hours (1980)

This midmorning awakening
This bleak whiteness, nothingness
The eye that stares through your mirror
A suction entanglement
On stained sheets
Figures with no regrets
Their doubts caste a shadow here
The time drifts
The time swells
The skies melt
In my dream I am older
Everything is soft out of focus
There's this sound which disturbs me
A clarinet plays in the distance
Everything turns black and white
Black and white
I must go to work
I know where it is
I've been there before
I'll go there this time
They will not have to force me
I'll go there willingly
I'll go there today
This could be New York
This could be London
I don't care anymore
I'm wearing this suit
A black suit
I'm wearing this tie
A black tie
I'm carrying this case
A black case
I walk down the street
The people are staring
The taxi cab is slower
A piano falls from above
It smashes in front of me
I fall to the floor
I open this door
I'm back in my room
I see two people asleep
This midmorning awakening
This bleak grey whiteness, nothingness
The eye that stares through your mirror
I see two people asleep
They look older
You look Older
We're all older
Let us join them in their dreams
We're only four hours
We're only four moments
We're only here too long

  • YES I now this song from a compilation cd newwave club class x ANTLER RECORDS

  • Never had the opportunity to see them live. So please, anyone, who has some, please post. Thank you! (someone asked where were the synths..good thing bout DVA was their intrusion in jazzy athmospheres, although labelled as a industrial band, in the beginning. What happenned to Adi (incedible voice) and Jud?

  • warren ellis sent me. god bless him

  • COMPLETELY CLASSIC DVA!! GIVE ME MORE!!! POST SOME MORE OF THIS PERFORMANCE! (Too bad it's outta sync:-( !!!!!)

  • @wordscontrolminds If I remember correctly he (unfortunately) was rather camera shy. But you can see a few long-shots of him mainly at the start.

  • wonderful song!

  • Where's jud in this video? he co-composed this track!?

  • This is a great performance - and I'm glad that it was saved for posterity! Adi looks like he has terrible indigestion though - I keep expecting a belch to pop up on the audio track.

    And too bad SJ Turner only makes a fleeting appearance in this one. :(

  • @Thompson14t Yes, it's Russian for "two" - Adi Newton got his inspiration for the name from A Clockwork Orange.
