My White Devil

John Webster was
One of the best there was
He was the author of
Two major tragedies
The White Devil and
The Duchess of Malfi
The White Devil and
The Duchess of Malfi
Change in the nether
Do I get the choice
Chance in forever
When do we get the spoils
Now that love is upside-down
It`s down to us to say that
Our monkey brains
Content to laugh
When laughing wanes
It`s time to change
Make on the when
I will be then
You on the then
We will be then
Here it comes again
Knocking on its feet
Here it comes again
Knocking on its feet
Don`t say it`s life on the barrier
Don`t say it`s life on the barrier
Don`t say it`s life on the barrier
Is it enough now
To tell me you matter
When you haven`t a clue how
To bring me to tears
How many leaves must you crumble
Till you believe what I told you
That`s a ________ a stumble
____________________
Change in the nether
Do I get the choice
Chance it forever
When do we get the spoils

thank you so much for posting this.

Whether we fall by ambition, blood or lust,

Like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.

"We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry" John Webster(English Writer and Playwright, 1580-1632)

Good. Wasn`t he!

[1965raj]

Great stuff. One of the best post-punk groups ever, next to Joy Division, Gang Of Four, The Cure and Magazine!

god, look how young Ian looks. Funny, how when you're 19 everyone looks old -- even if they're only a few years older than you.

[NicBunnymen]

@1965raj Totally agree.

[SIlverstream001]

I think the lyrics to the last bit are:

How many leaves must you crumple

'Til you believe what I told you?

That your lies are just stumbles

Breaking your legs on the way to

Changing the never, do I get the choice?

Chancing forever, when do we get the spoils?

[NicBunnymen]

@1965raj ..YES I TOTALLY AGREE..but lets not forget Buzzcocks!

"He was a writer of the revenge drama in the U.K. of the 15¢.

-"{fierce...This depends on the Wikipedia investigation／I talk to myself while borrowing the talk from the past whether I am worth reciteing it newly, too.
