Peter Murphy - Crystal Wrists (with lyrics)

'Crystal Wrists' performed by vocalist Peter Murphy and The Hundred Men. Taken from the former Bauhaus frontman's third LP, 'DEEP' (1989). This is a personal favourite of mine from that album. LISTEN LOUD.

Peter Murphy - vocals. Peter Bonas - guitars. Eddie Branch - bass. Paul Statham - keyboards & guitar. Terl Bryant - drums & percussion.

I can't see the light. I'm thrown in disgust
They speak of feats... the housed forever
A howling wind changed my course
It blew me out of bounds so sore
All the walls, all the walls that bound me
Descending bleak and put upon

I chew my cheeks to wake up from
The vase grows bigger to my eyes
These eyes that snigger and despise
The wall grows taller up to doom

Shoes in my room, thrown in disgust
At how I fall to my worst
Of course you say you don't understand
Your words, your fiction, your crooked hands

But clearly now, I tell you man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to caste them in

While young girls fangs and crystal wrists
Wait patiently for me to twist
I look away to distant rains
To water falls and honey days
And boys in black and blue rinse eyes
Gaze whistly at my slender thighs

I twist a shade to my right
And spit at beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here I live on patiently
Clearly now, I tell you man
That all I say Is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to caste them in

"Oh my God, Peter simply never ceases to enthrall and mesmerize and plunge full through, to crow and howl each piercing, palpitant, grinding truth from depths obscene, see, we cringe and fall and flail between each, these, our tremulous, uneasy breaths, thrust forth as if to shock apart, divide, to rend and skew the..."

[Medusafern]

"...lines where many dare not tread to read, we'll scrape and peel away each wince from every thinning, withered fence which could no longer keep us safe, oh God, we had no right to excavate, for relics such as these are the sort that drive men mad, like whispers burrowing in heat beyond our shadowed sight to pray we pass in silence...♥" ~ me, for Peter ♥
