Marc Almond - The idol

Tekst :

Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol

Idol be bad
Idol be wild
Martyr your heart
Father a love child
We need all your kinks
And your dark attitude
We live on your sins
And your volatile moods

We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
You re a pop up poster of a teenage dream
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
A fur inferno on a twisted scene

Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It s the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don t try to mend
All gods fall in the end

Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol

We loved you in black
We adored you in pink
Up in the dock
Or drowned in the drink
Wrapped up in foil
Anointed in oil

We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Rip out your soul as you re playing the role
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Nail up your hands to fulfil our demands

Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It s the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don t try to mend
All gods fall in the end

Sweet crucifixion

We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Watch them turn cold as you start to grow old
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Vinyl to burn as the crowd starts to turn

Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It s the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don t try to mend
All gods fall in the end

Be what you are
In the bed or the car
In the bath or the bar
It s the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don t try to mend
All gods fall in the end

Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol

All gods fall in the end

Valentino the sheik was the God of them all
But his macho was dented and he took a fall
Garland sang tragedy touching our hearts
But her life was a tragedy more than her art
Fabian and Avalon gold lamed and cute
Kissed fickle fame and went straight down the chute
Elvis the cat loved us tender with youth
But what we were seeing was never the truth
Just wanted to sing but fame made its demands
And died while still young trying to please all his fans
James was a rebel that stood for an age
A drink and a drive and then death took the stage
Poor Billie Holliday paid all her dues
When her close friend the needle gave her the blues
Janis at night cruised for boys on the strip
But death by the bottle is what made her hip
Marylin s beauty showed age every day
But her sinister end helped her keep age away

We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you

Brian Jones had an aura that Mick soon would crave
But pills and a pool set the scene for the grave
Jim lived his life to put edge to his songs
But he died in the bath to reach where he belongs
Jimi played notes that were all heaven-sent
But the drink and the drugs made sure that s where he went
Osmond and Cassidy records all gold
But they made the mistake of growing too old
Bolan got fat was not pleasant to see
But we loved him again when he met with a tree
Kurt was unhappy with fame and success
A gun in the mouth and one hell of a mess
And who will be next on the big cross of fame?
A white sequinned glove and a big famous name?

We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you

    Blood and confusion

    Words confuse and create equivocal thoughts
    Thoughts silently transmit our inner essence
    The eternal silence leads to oblivion.
    I am contradiction, the boundary, inside and outside
    I am difficulty, immoderation, mannerism, simplicity,
    rigor, baroque, minimalism
    I m like this music that twists around itself,
    that gets torn and recomposes.
    I m the result of a test, the survivor...

    Storm in our hearts

    There was a lot to make up
    For the time we d had
    Cos we d been lonely far too long
    Had enough of feeling sad
    And no, it didn t take long
    To right all the wrong
    And hurt inside
    And now I can t believe what s happening
    Right before my eyes

    Just look at the rain...

    Fall

    You were the question
    I needed answered
    You ll never know how scared I was
    Falling in love

    You would talk softly
    You are a riddle
    And I felt so innocent
    Standing in your eyes

    So hear me now

    The music

    Baby, baby, don t be late
    The world is ending I can t change
    The way I feel about you now
    New York is cold as ever
    But still I go out every night
    And hide myself among the lights
    Bathe in all the pretty things the city brings
    The bodies glisten and they shine
    Like the stars...

    Hold back

    Now when we started - no interventions
    I wanted everything with no conditions
    You took my love and told it to the world
    But now it really changes things
    The ring you wear belongs to someone else
    Somebody else and my heart keeps saying

    Hold back - Hold back your love
    Baby it s just a crazy...
