The word that would best describe this feeling would be, 'Haunted'
I touch the clothes you left behind
That still retain your shape and lines, still haunted

I trace the outline of your eyes
We're in the mirror hypnotized and haunted
I find a solitary hair gone and still I reminisce, I'm haunted

Haunted by your soul
Haunted by your hair
Haunted by your clothes
Haunted by your eyes

By your soul, by your hair
By your clothes, by your eyes
By your voice, by your smile
By your mouth, by your soul

By your hair, by your clothes
By your eyes, by your voice
By your smile, by your mouth
By your soul, haunted

So this is for when you're feeling happy again
And this is for when you feeling sad
And this is for when you feel something

Ohh, when the minutes drag
Ohh, when the minutes drag

Ohh, when the minutes drag
Ohh, when the minutes drag

Their first album after Bauhaus & Tones on Tail - the beginning of an incredible series of albums.

To me, this song is a 5, but the memories make me want to give it an 8.  That averages out to 6.5, which I am rounding down due to the length of the song.    If anything it gave me time to reflect on if I rate the songs for their individual quality, or how they make me feel.   That's what I love about Radio Paradise.    Thanks!

Instantaneously transported back to high school angst. Hi Rob, miss you man. Thanks again for the introduction to this band in particular.

It's only 8 minutes and 3 seconds long.    Highly underrated band.

I was looking for a snarky gif to respond but I became a bit more sympathetic as this dragged on. The lads could have gotten their point across far more quickly than 8:03.

Excellent tune. 

 
Usually, I agree with your tastes aspicer and thewiseking but for whatever reason, I find this incredibly annoying.

Haven't head this song in at least 25 years; I had forgotten how great Love & Rockets were.
Posted 8 years ago by fgraver    [ Reply ]
This is one fantastic piece of psychedelia. The striding bass line makes it. Beautiful.

I was sorry to come and see so much hatin' for this song.  Sure, it's not something that you really sit and listen to, but for me, working on a cigar box guitar in my shop on a Sunday afternoon, it was nice.  Thanks Bill.

 
Actually I used to sit and listen to this and the entire album a lot when it came out. It's a great album. Too much for those that can't listen to a song for more than 3 minutes.

This song lasts abnormally long.
Posted 8 years ago by ciolca    [ Reply ]

I like the bass playing and multi-layered percussion in this tune.

This IS their therapy...and who wouldn't benefit from therapy? Those that dismiss it most, often are the ones that would most benefit! {#Cheesygrin}  ....a fantastic album for those interested in more.

I truly hope not to hear this song again.  What a self-worshipping, melodramatic yawn.

Big fans of these guys back in the day. Don't hear em played very often.
Dark psychedelia. They put on a helluva show.

WOW It's been a long time since I heard this. My cassette wore out long ago, so I think it's time to repurchase. Thanks RP.

It's been so long since I heard this - still very much a Bauhaus sound. Classic.

 
...pretty much - just without Peter Murphy or his vocals.
