Strange little angels leaving the grey world
Over cathedrales, graves and candles
Their wing-heads ready-made for the ascension
And the call of the bells
And the call of the bells
And the call of the bells
Of Jesus Christ
In another world we might find
Maybe another God to believe in
Maybe another girl - maybe a new scene
But I think I will stay here
Yes I think I will stay
With my Tragic Venus - my secret fear
Tragic Venus this is the last world
Tragic Venus this is the last word
Tragic Venus this is a new faith
The final moment - this is your death
this is your death
Now that I feel like a wild ghost
Coming down the altar - down the picture book
Make a lot of noise
Be a savage beast
Be my Tragic Venus
Be a poisonned feast
Be a poisonned feast
I can tell you Lord : You’re not so high
When my Tragic Venus despise your rights
A very good LP quality, great mastering and cut. The album itself is definitely a very dark one. Sure it will become a classic one in several years and inspire a lot of musicians all over the world. Choosing a favorite track was quite a task. mikhailbroyan
I first heard John Peel play XMAL back in '83 in the UK and I saw them live in Madrid in 1984, - have been a fan ever since. I never expected to have them on my BC ap, and so glad they're here. Hopefully the albums will appear here too - if the later record labels allow. zaclang
A magnificent album. My first record of 'the trees' was "Shaletown" which I bought as a maxi single back in the 80ties, one of my all time favorites. Their sound became calmer since then, but it. is still the unique musical style that distinguishes them. My favorite track is the book burners, it is because I like the melody and composition. For its lyrics, I like the opening track, for its lyrics which could apply to many places and the fate of the people living there. mike-rix
