Bauhaus - Boys

We tried to fly
Is it so high
We don't think so
We don't think so

Are we looked at
Are we set back?
Can we fake him
Emulate him?

Time is breaking
Changing faking
Grind us up now
Not too hard now

Features so fine
Rouge and eyeline
Things I fancy
Just like Nancy

Fashions alter
Often falter
Crypso's out now
No more fights now

Make-up's taking
Lots of shaving
On my eyelash
You sure it don't clash

Slim-line trousers
Facial powders
flooding my mind
You sure there's no lines

Eye me up now
pamper me now
Please don't pass by
Or I shall cry

I'm a "new generation kid"

I'm 18, but I listen to mostly 90's music, but I don't call this goth or death rock

I call it beautiful, inspiring music

it's pure, unlike the music these days which is just a bullshit capitalist mirage haha

my dad was a punk in the 70's-80's era, and he got me into this band when I was 15.

No offense taken, you're absolutely right -- nothing in music is new, unless you live in a vacuum. But to say Peter Murphy's vocal sensibilities are not extremely heavily influenced by Bowie is silly. I'm sure if you asked Peter himself, he'd tell you the same. What makes Peter unique is his specific take on Bowie's styling of vocals, in the context of gloomy post-punk instrumentals and an early 1900's German expressionist aesthetic (which is where the band's name comes from.)

@danzig5 Lucky; no one in my family is into this type of stuff.

[newfuckingwave]

@danzig5 well there WAS some pretty shitty music back then as well. go look up captain and tennille - THAT was the shit topping the charts in the 70s. the average person has always liked mediocre music. if everyone liked exceptional music would it not cease to be exceptional?

@MissFormald3hyd3 Lol, my parents didn't even know they existed. My mother lived in Liverpool and only listened to music in the 60s and early 70s. David Bowie is completely unknown to her, and post-punk/New Wave, even more.

awesome, magical, magnificant love it

[MissFormald3hyd3]

@danzig5 My parents are nearing their 50's and had no idea any of these bands existed. They were the ones who made fun of the Goths & the Punks 30 years ago. You're lucky.

@MrsChaosBitch I would gladly exchannge my age with you, i grow up listening to this guys, they are awesome, i even see them play, it was amazing. But you have time to grow, and time will come when you´ll want to turn back in time, just like me now. Take the time to grow and enjoy it well. (my inglish is very poor, hope not writing with errors).

I'm 20 years old and I never listened to music of these days. It sounds like crap. I always listened to 70's 80's 90's. but Buahaus is so inspiring. Wish I was born earlier

[MrsChaosBitch]

@danzig5

Music of these days sounds like crap,they don't make sence, and it's barely even music.. everything's done with computers and voices of singers are too perfect on a record. If you know what I mean

[1995Siana]

Nice...:)

[stars7803]

@danzig5 nice that he got you into this band but to me they are deathrock cuz here in los angeles we came up with the term deathrock :)
