At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a sin.
- Pet Shop Boys, 'It's A Sin'

...just that at the right place, right time, all this make sense to me...
Well under this low, lonely light
I might be still in sight,
You were a girl, now you're a wife
Do not these memories stir you
From your long and peaceful night's
augie march, asleep in perfection

again, augie march, owen's lament. Beautiful melody that got me into the words, bout war...
Level your fretting. I won't be forgetting the flush of your face
When I lifted you level to me and a wattle tree framed your body.
In whispers welling with the dope of a new Spring
You said "Kill me a dynasty or our love won't mean a thing..."
A bullet for a diamond ring.
A favour promised
A promise delivered and more to you -
It's only a war I'll be back to your shore before you know it I'm gone,
Then I'll cover you body.
And if you have to go please go lightly,
Keep it to a foxtrot whether he's a fox or not.
Keep it cold, keep all your heat for me -
I'll be needing it for when I'm cold you see?
Let your children remind you of me
Whether by another or by the ghost in me in you -
There goes my baby.
I would think of you and a palmtree would cover your body.
You - in love and war we are bound by a law,
it goes to you and then to yours to recover my body.
She bound me up and hugged me
'O how the mother loves thee'
She covered my body
In a ragged flag and bloody -
O not on your life.

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin law
I got two choices yall pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i...pull over to the side of the road
And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo?
"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"
"License and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin a weapon on you i know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or somethin?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"We'll see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

I think some folks should cover this song. But no one can have the panache of Scott Walker lah...
Verse 1
Naked as sin, an army towel covering my belly
Some of us blush, somehow knees turn to jelly
Next, next!
I was still just a kid, there were a hundred like me
I followed a naked body, a naked body followed me
Next, next!
I was still just a kid when my innocence was lost
In a mobile army whorehouse, gift of the army, free of cost
Next, you're next!
Verse 2
I really would have liked a little touch of tenderness
Maybe a word, just a smile, some instant happiness but no, no!
Next, next!
Oh it... it wasn't so tragic, the high heavens didn't fall
But how much of that time I hated being there at all
Next, next!
Now I always will recall the brothel truck, the flying flags
The queer lieutenant who slapped our asses as if we were fags
Next, you're next!
Verse 3
I swear on the wet head of my first case of gonorrhea
It's his ugly voice that I forever hear
Next, next!
That voice that stinks of corpses, of whisky and of mud
It is the voice of the nations, that thick voice of blood
Next, next!
And since then, each woman I've taken to bed
Seems to laugh in my arms and whisper through my head...
"Next, next..."
Verse 4
All the naked and the dead should hold each other's hands
As they watch me scream at night in a dream no-one can understand
Next, next!
And when I'm not screaming in a voice grown dry and hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
Next, next!
One day I'll cut my legs off and burn myself alive
Anything, I'll do anything to get out of line, just to survive
And never to be next, oh never to be next...
Next!
- Scott Walker, 'Next' which is a reinterpretation of a French song

This one is one that Scott Walker wrote himself. Fucken killer lyrics... I'm amazed how some ppl write stuff like this. Then again, Iron Maiden does it too... but SW does it baroque pop style, macham classical music.
Anybody seen a Knight pass this way?
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
His crusade was a search for God and they say
It's been a long way to carry on
Anybody hear of plague in this town?
The town I've left behind was burnt to the ground
A young girl on a stake, her face framed in flames
Cried "I'm not a witch, God knows my name"
The Knight he watched with fear, he needed to know
He ran where he might feel God's breath
And in the misty church he knelt to confess
The face within the booth was Mister Death
"My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless miles"
"Why can't God touch me with a sign?"
"Perhaps there's no-one there" answered the booth
And Death hid within his cloak and smiled
"This morning I played chess with Death" said the Knight
"We played that he might grant me time"
"My Bishops and my Knights will shatter his flanks"
"And still I might feel God's heart in mine"
And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard
The Knight cried "No - you've cheated me!"
"But still I'll find a way. We'll meet once again"
"And once again continue to play"
They met within the woods, the Knight, his Squire and friends
And Death said "Now the game shall end"
The final move was made, the Knight hung his head
And said "You've won. I've nothing left to play"
The minstrel, filled with visions, sang to his love
To look against the stormy sky
The Knight, his Squire and friends, their hands held as one
Solemnly danced towards the dawn
His hourglass in his hand, his scythe by his side
The master Death, he leads them on
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces
And as the thunder cracked, they were gone.
- Scott Walker, 'The Seventh Seal'
How the fuck someone write lyrics like this confounds me absolutely!!!

nah, Scott Walker's style is like proto-Belle & Sebastian... not too folkish but heavier on the orchestral arrangement

i love the gybe monologues .........
the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows
the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn
we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death
the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
it went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair
the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"
you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever
we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death
i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood
