Lambchop - This Corrosion

Lambchop - This Corrosion

Gimme the ring, kissed and toll'd
Gimme something that I missed (gimme the ring)
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems(gimme the ring)
Kill the king, when love is the law,
And the we'll turn round... (gimme the ring)
Gimme dream child
And do you hear me call? (gimme the ring)
On the loan and on the level
...still on the floor (gimme the ring)
Sing dream child
And do you hear at all?

(sing)
(sing)
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing...

Gimme siren, child and do you hear me?
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?
Sing, child, of right and wrong
Gimme things that don't last long
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?

(sing)
(sing)
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing...

On daze, like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to haunch on bended knees
Living on if and if I tried,
Somebody send me... please...
Dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in
Selling the don't belong
Well, what do you say
D'you have a word for giving away?
Got a song for me?

(sing)
(sing)
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing...

I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold
The hired hand
On heart
Hand of god
Floodland and driven apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold
Burn
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand

(Original by The Sisters Of Mercy)

This is easily one of the best covers ever made.

Until now I held the Gourds version of Gin n' juice as the greatest.

While on the note of covers, let's not forget Sisters doing Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight) simply cos it shows Eldritch's excellent sense of humour behind that ghoulish face.

I also love the desert dream video. Who made it?

Big thanks for uploading! I can't count the times I've listened to it since i found it. Absolutely brilliant!

Thanx,

video is reassembled form 4 or 5 existing videos.

One is a Cadillac commercial featering bob dylan.

Others come from various people driving around the US in old ars.

And the kissing scene in the rain even comes from a 2002 dance remix of Pati Smith her Because the night.

All colorfiltered and mixed with Lambchob and SOM footage to give it a real authentical look. ;)

Eldritch is the best, always will be ;)

is this on any album? idd love to get it

@oldschoolinktattoos

I am afraid only on the limited edition of 'Is A Woman' , on the Bonus disc ;) 

[Weirdo123098]

Oh crap. A good cover of This Corrosion. It seems that instead of trying to match the style of Sisters of Mercy, (like every other shitty cover) Lambchop made their own, and hit spot on.

Heard this one the radio once. A devout fan of Eldridge myself, I believe this careful, soft interpretation captures the strength of the original even more so. Thanks for posting!

I like this, sort of a bittersweet version to me. I think when I'm become old goth living under the care of a nurse, requiring a nurse to spoon feed blood from her neck, and can't play any music at anything resembling a high volume, I could listen to this song and reminisce about the old days. Bravo to this man, bravo.

Though I am a bit curious how he came across the song.

Excellent interpretation of a favourite song from my teenage years.

Is this the modern new age JJ Cale??? listen to his voice. Brilliant..I love this band so different.

Does anybody knows what Eldritch thinks at all?

[MorganScorpion]

WONDERFUL!

You captured the substance whilst changing the style. Brilliant!
