The Gun Club - "Eternally Is Here"

Off of their classic 1984 album "The Las Vegas Story"

Well, this is what I've never told you
yes, we are animals too
and it'll be a life of "getting back"
for a night of "getting off"

but, I couldn't wait
now, eternally is here

"I never promised you anything
for promising me everything," she said.
"I stood silent and true
while you fell to pieces."

but, I couldn't wait
and, eternally is here

and it's a long way down... without a sound

You've known I've always wanted you
and since today is the end of the world
you're heart and no more art
will hold me tonight!

but, I couldn't wait
now, eternally is here...

and it's a long way down... without a sound...

This is what she always said:
"I will give to you of love and blood
for all the forever and never
and yet, still again and again..."

but, I couldn't wait
now, eternally is here...

and it's a long way down...
without a sound in this world...

The "simple" guitar solos heard here are more musical and interesting than anything Yngwie Malmsteen ever played.

I find myself singing along in the exact same,completely out of tune manner in which Jim sang this.A few years since his passing I can finally laugh about this again.

Near the end of the song;Eternally is here,no I couldnt wAAAIHHAIIItt......

I so adored him.Such a sweet man.

And whom else could get away with this haunting,but still very much out of tune singing?I love him for it.

Allways will.

I have to hear it a few times.

Thank provicence for the legal Cannabis here in Holland.

@RolandWieffering1

You're so right

[candysays1000]

singing out of tune ? what are you talking about ?

[oldpunkster]

Love this, still after all these years....so damn good, loved his voice, loved that slide quitar....

[RolandWieffering1]

One of the best songwriters ever! JLP is so underrated. For me he is one of the best songwriters ever. Every "simple" thing he does has a honest "cry from the heart" that haunts you when you lay in bed and try to sleep.

It's the same as with the Wipers. Their music is just as haunting as the Gun Club's. If only more young people would listen to this kind of music.

Oooh.. Yellow eyes.... who you're gonna blame.... Well,..

( It's time for my medication, see you all later,)

From Holland,

[RolandWieffering1]

Yellow eyes who you gonna blame?

It's a long way down

You're not the same

Your getting pushed further, further away.

Still a shame he's Dead
