Testo Axe Victim - Be Bop Deluxe
Testo della canzone Axe Victim (Be Bop Deluxe), tratta dall'album Futurist Manifesto - 1974-1978
You came to watch the band
To see us play our parts
You hoped you'd lend an ear
You hoped we'd dress like tarts
But backstage we stand naked
All the makeup cleaned away
Our poet sheds his pretty skin
And turns to face the day
And there's nothing to be done
No, nothing to be said
Last night I felt immortal
This morning I feel dead
And the love, ah, that gave its blaze
To my heart now brings a haze
Ooh, be careful
'Cause I'm an axe victim
Hung up on these silver strings
Like wings
Like time machines
Like voices on the wind
We hit the road to Hull
Sad amps and smashed guitars
Played badly at the Duke
To almost no applause
But someone made it worthwhile
When smiling with bright eyes
They gave me full attention
And they took me by surprise
Today the feeling's gone
And faded like a ghost
Last night I saw the future
This morning there's no hope
And the words, ah, that I sung so clear
Are now clouded by my tears
Ooh, please be careful
'Cause I'm an axe victim
Hung up on these silver strings
Like sails
Like seagulls' cries
Like church bells in the night
