GARDEN OF DELIGHT(demo 1985, AE vocal) words and music by wayne hussey Shimmering over all those wistful faces And the promise burning brightly in their eyes In this violent flesh the cut that bleeds the kiss that stings Desperate snows fall from d esperate skies CHORUS Take my hand and lead me To the garden of delight Take my hand and lead me Home..... Reflections in the liquid windswept mirror The breatheless world elegance and charm The treasured touch, the first touch of a stranger It charmed me, entranced me, no harm So... CHORUS This child of death, kissing in the playground Senses swirling, faithful to the kill Playing with fire,a chance among the playsound Covered in burns and turn away, they′re dancing still So... Take my hand and lead me To the garden of delight Take my hand and lead me To the garden Of delight Of delight repeat CHORUS Home(home) Home(home) Home(home) Home(home)
Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden Please don′t speak In the hanging garden No one sleeps In the hanging garden In the hanging garden Catching haloes on the moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night The animals scream In the heat of the night Walking into a dream...
Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden In the hanging garden
Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In a hanging garden Change the past In a hanging garden Wearing furs And masks
Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden As the animals die Cover my face as the animals die
The story behind the painting I drew is already told No more tearstains on the pages of my diary Tired but unable to give up since I′m Responsible for the lives I saved
The play is done The curtain′s down
All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens
My song is little worth anymore Time to lay this weary pen aside
The play is done The curtain′s down
"Where are the wolves, the underwater moon The elvenpath, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea Have I felt enough for one man′s deed? Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days And let the virgin conceive"
All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens
A token left with judgement a memento left ajar A secret never wanted death defying little charms How to defend pretend selective piss-away so long neglected Pretty-frozen underground from above the odor leering
Pass the meat from which I stink of All those tethered whether-wise
A blood stain all the wiser desperation kicks the stool A little bruise to lose demure a staple cut and dry In the sink dissection decimation is the rule In determining direction acting agent act the fool
Pass the meat from which I stink of Putrid helping kept inside
Tincture Warning Second cousin to the new invention Addictive so charming second only to a forced unfusion Tincture of lead be said with no remorse full of confusion Wish to enjoy this weightlessness lay me out full worm garden
A prick upon the finger looking back like hacking through To develop in the mixture of a portion of a view The distant elevation of a faded wicked high Divination ask a question of a spirit for a thing you used to hide
Pass the meat from which I stink of Passed out serving on the side From the meat I′m suffocating Cutting from the bone to hide
A noose-knit put on sweater tie it up around the arm Looks to grip along the trigger down the barrel of a gun Assume today a game to play cardboard house in dissaray Tremble little joker think dig it deep don′t be afraid...
She don′t wander in...don′t wander in here, she... She don′t wander in here...don′t wander in here...
The direction of the eye, so misleading The defection of the soul, nauseously quick I don′t question, our existence I just question, our modern needs
She don′t wander in...don′t wander in here, she... She don′t wander in here...
I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden, garden of stone...yeah...
After all is done, and we′re still alone I won′t be taken, yet I′ll go...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden, garden of stone
I don′t show...I don′t share... I don′t need, yeah...What you have to give...
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden, garden...oh...
I will walk with my hands bound I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...
I don′t know...I don′t care... I don′t need you for me to live...yeah, yeah, yeah, oh... Uh huh huh... (8x)
I′ll pretend that I want you For what is on the inside But when I get inside, I′ll just want to get out I′m your first and last deposit Through sickness and in hell I′ll never promise you a garden You′ll just water me down I can′t believe that you are for real But I don′t care as long as you′re mine
When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey) When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey)
I′m unsafe, I′m unsafe I won′t repent and so I memorize the words to the porno movies It′s the only thing I want to believe I memorize the words to the porno movies This is a new religion to me
I′m a VCR funeral of Dead-memory waste and My smile is a chainlink fence that I have put up I love the enemy, my love is thee enemy They say they don′t want fame But they get famous When we fuck
When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey) When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey)
I′m unsafe, I′m unsafe I won′t repent and so I memorize the words to the porno movies It′s the only thing I want to believe I memorize the words to the porno movies This is a new religion to me
I never believed the devil was real But god couldn′t make someone filthy as you
When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey) When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey) When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey) When I said we you know I meant me and When I said sweet I meant dirty (hey, hey)
You are the church I am the steeple, When we fuck We′re all god′s people You are the church I am the steeple, When we fuck We′re all god′s people
My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore Run from the past Holding my head in my hands Feeling dejected Feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore No, my secret garden′s Not so secret anymore
Run through the fields Down to the edge of the water Can′t stay long Here comes the reason why She′ll catch me if she can And take me by the hand I′ll have to keep on running And I just can′t see the fun in My secret garden Not being secret Anymore
It used to be so easy on days such as these She′d search and search for hours In among the flowers
I loved it I loved her Play the fool; act so cruel (I loved it) Read a book; take a look (I loved her)
It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore
Deep in the twilight lurks a somber place People call it Malicegarden A realm of sadness the throne of the dead Where sunlight is as rare as laughter
Leaving our world to enter Malicegarden A journey that will last forever A legion of mourners crying the past Bedding the remnants deep in silence
Cross the portal and step in Malicegarden Touch the fruit of everlasting glory Here we will dwell praising endless darkness Here we will stay for now and ever
Inducing oblivion the sinister path Where this garden lies... Of malice and grievance the creatures will tell A fate lost in ages past The throne of destruction, the passionate fruit
Only beyond death it grows, for those who enter here
Beyond this hill of fouling flesh Beneath the sea of tears Lies the heart of Malicegarden The castle of ill faith...
So you hustle ′til the pain grows Fighting ′til the needle calls Always when the needle calls So you hustle ′til the pain grows too strong So you hustle ′til the pain grows Fighting ′til the needle calls Always when the needle calls So you suffer ′til the pain goes too long
Left the city just to save myself Headed west, looking for that ocean breeze It′s down in Santa Monica, where the wind blows strong And the saltwater washes you clean Walking through the dollar store Aisle five, head down, daydream, looking up and there you are Hey girl, what you doing out here? It′s been a long time now
Go for coffee then we talk, talk Reminiscing talk, talk On and on, all about the things we missed But always just behind the smile You′ve got the same sad eyes
In your secret garden There is no one Who gets the key to your heart Your poison flowers survive for hours But now they′re tearing you up And we all change We all decay When our hearts are broken down
Take a weekend, take a week I′m falling fast, I′m falling deep Here we go, it′s just like it was before No matter what I do, or what I say You′ll never let me in You′ve been working out in Hollywood Easy money, fucked up job, back on the street We both know it′s no good But every night you′re heading there You′ve got the same sad eyes
In your secret garden There is no one Who gets the key to your heart Your poison flowers survive for hours But now they′re tearing you up And we all change We all decay When our hearts are broken We find new ways to face the day When our hearts are broken down
So cold, so sickly twisted, beautiful And time will not be kind Your cancer grows so deep inside of you And I cannot rewind
In your secret garden There is no one Who gets the key to your heart Your poison flowers survive for hours But now they′re tearing you up And we all change We all decay When our hearts are broken And find a way to face the day When our hearts are broken And we all change We all decay When our hearts are broken down When our hearts are broken down Where we all get broken
I′m sitting here lately Thinking about us maybe Taking a break was a good thing
′Cause we were just children Following a feeling Not knowing love could wither away
But looking back it passed so softly But common strangers we could not see Just tired of fighting tired of hanging on
But now that you′re gone I can see That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there′s still hope Come on, baby, and I′ll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let′s make up for what we′ve been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home
Living with each other Soon we discovered just how tryin′ it could be You′d stay out all night and you′d say I was uptight And soon we were only fighting
But looking back from this side now It′s hard to imagine wonder how I thought it was you who was always wrong But I can see That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there′s still hope Come on, baby, and I′ll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let′s make up for what we′ve been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home
Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss, And our moms all squeeze like weeds they get in the way Now you′re gone and I′m here, I′m missing you dear, We took a break what a mistake What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you. Cause I can see
That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there′s still hope Come on, baby, and I′ll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let′s make up for what we′ve been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home
Let′s throw away our old cell phones Let′s just stay in bed Let′s just stay home Come on baby, baby come home
I′m sitting here lately Thinking about us maybe taking a break was a bad thing
And the fishermen came back across the water And the people started running in the park And the city stopped, as I held you in my arms We could hear the sound of sirens all around us And the scent of burning oil was in the air And the music played And it felt so good to hear
This is the life we′ve been given So open your mind and start living We can play a part if we only start believing
There′s a stranger on the hill and he is speaking As the tear from every cloud begin to fall For one moment then, we understood it all
Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming Everyone, everyone, every man and every women We all fall, in the end we′re just miracles of matter So come on, let me love you
This is the life we′ve been given So open your mind and start living We can play a part if we only start believing This is the life we′ve been given So open your heart and start loving We can make a start if we only learn to listen
Then the crowd began to head for the horizon A million people walking back to work But you and me, we just lay down in the garden Yeah you and me, we just lay down in the garden
This is the life we′ve been given So open your heart and start loving We can make a start if we only learn to listen
You and me, we just lay down in the garden Yeah, the garden
