ThouShaltNot - If I Only Were A Goth (LIVE)

ThouShaltNot:
Aaron Fuleki, Jeremy Long, Alex Reed

Live in Cincinnati, Ohio July 31st, 2008

If I Only Were A Goth

I'd be thinner, I'd be taller
Go clubbing in my collar
With skin pale as a moth
Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'
While the normal folk are sleepin'
If I only were a Goth
With my hair up, I'd look fancy
Like Siouxsie and the Banshees
With silk or velvet cloth
Dressed in boots, never sandals
And the room would be lit with candles
If I only were a Goth

Yes I'd wanna die
From the bottom of my heart impure
Would I like another clove? Well, sure
And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure

I'd pretend to be a vampire
Like in stories 'round the campfire
I'd suck your bloody froth
*sucking noise*
Yes the thing I'd be best at
Is impersonating Lestat
If I only were a Goth

In my casket purse I'm toutin'
Einsturzende Neubauten
And pagan hymns to Thoth
Yes the world would be depressing
Over death I'd be obsessing
And this corpse that I'm undressing
Would be sexier, I'm guessing
With my diet I'd get scurvy
And I'd worship Peter Murphy
If I only were a Goth

ThouShaltNot is performing this song because it is THEIR song. It isn't a cover. I can't believe you would know the band well enough to post their footage, and then give credit to someone else. That is seriously disheartening.

My Bad... I fixed it! I have all their albums, and the album this song is on "You'll Wake Up Yesterday" is full of cover songs, and while I was listing the info, it was all over the web about Voltaire doing this song also, and because they are on the same record label I mislabeled it by mistake. When I got the lyrics off the web, they were even listed under Voltaire! Thanks for catching this for me.

I was actually in a club in Pittsburgh for a release party for the album this came from. Ended up winning a dance contest and got the album for free. :)

Well, it isn't *exactly* TSN's song either, given that it's a lyrical reinterpretation of If I Only Had a Brain. ;) Hullo, Alex!

@the99nightmare Nope. One bad mislabeling, downloaded ten thousand times, can really wreak havoc! This is on TSN's EP "You'll Wake Up Yesterday." Search all of Voltaire's albums and you'll never find this song.

Hah, pretty sure I was at this show ... if this was the night they played with Hungry Lucy ?

This is a brilliant brilliant song. I <3 ThouShalt not. Also, as a huge Voltaire-fan, I clearly hear the vocal-difference in both the studio version and of course this one. Nonetheless, I can understand where the mistake was made - it's one of his usual themes (Although not at all similar to the way he writes his lyrics) It's sad that TSN usually doesn't get the credit they deserve for it.

I love this song ♥  :)
