Memorabillia e coisas estranhas do Duende...

Fuçando meus velhos arquivos e velhos links favoritos eu sempre encontro coisas bem estranhas e interessantes... Esta é uma música cantada pelo John Constantine e sua banda, o Mucuous Membrane. Apenas para aficcionados por Hellblazer, como eu :)
A letra da música é bem estranha, eu sei, mas temos que lembrar que é uma banda de punk rock aos moldes setentistas de sex pistols e coisa do gênero. Isto é... bem... punk nojento mesmo. :)
Acho que vou postar um bocado de coisas sobre Hellblazer, apenas pra mostrar meu apreço pelo loirinho...

venus of the hard sell

love adventure death and glory
the short goodbye the whispered story
one last glance at the chameleon dance
and into the dark across the park
I ain't no mark for the venus of the hardsell
(say it)
I ain't no mark for the venus of the hardsell


saints and sinners raw beginners
lipstick traces and tv dinners
cigarsmoke bars and expensive new cars
the acapulco dive and the media jive
they all survive for the venus of the hardsell
(say it)
they all survive for the venus of the hardsell


empty graves and shallow heads
shallow smiles and empty beds
betta get a room without a view
sail out of sight of land
momma won't like it but you should
travel with a rough-neck crew
listen out for all that's said
just worry when the hounds ain't fed
(gotta)
worry when the hounds ain't fed


'cos one mutt yapps and the pack starts baying
blood for the gods it's cheaper than praying
soldier boys die but superman still flies
violent days - it's a permanent craze
it never pays to love the venus of the hardsell
(leave it)
don't screw around with the venus of the hardsell


there's new uniforms at the church bazaar
fanatics 've got the rising star
thin dark streets ring with marching men's feet
past the billboard bride troops the national pride
it's all supplied by the venus of the hardsell
(f**k it)
it's all supplied by the venus of the hardsell.
