lyrics
Beautiful for the Last Time
Genevieve put on your jewelry
And hide that handgun where they will not see
Don’t mind your wrinkles, don’t mind your age
Because the time has come to take the stage
In that black empire dress you stole
Now bravely face the night patrol
And you’ll be beautiful
For the last time
Friedrichsain bear proud your injury
Your graffiti tags and squatter luxury
Because the cleanup crew is here to scrub the past
And a civilized future is coming fast
With the traces of ‘45 and ‘68
Forever painted over by the state
So be beautiful
For the last time
But poor ugly child, go to the balcony
Do you hear the clouds beckon with their falconry
To a skylocked world will you show your face
Where your burns and bends are silk and lace?
Will you trade your body for falling snow?
Will you blanket the ground below
Where you’ll be beautiful
For the first time?
Genevieve put on your jewelry
And hide that handgun where they will not see
Don’t mind your wrinkles, don’t mind your age
Because the time has come to take the stage
In that black empire dress you stole
Now bravely face the night patrol
And you’ll be beautiful
For the last time
Friedrichsain bear proud your injury
Your graffiti tags and squatter luxury
Because the cleanup crew is here to scrub the past
And a civilized future is coming fast
With the traces of ‘45 and ‘68
Forever painted over by the state
So be beautiful
For the last time
But poor ugly child, go to the balcony
Do you hear the clouds beckon with their falconry
To a skylocked world will you show your face
Where your burns and bends are silk and lace?
Will you trade your body for falling snow?
Will you blanket the ground below
Where you’ll be beautiful
For the first time?

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 143 fans who also own “Beautiful for the Last Time (Riou* mix)”
This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

All The Way Down
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 131 fans who also own “Beautiful for the Last Time (Riou* mix)”
That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 129 fans who also own “Beautiful for the Last Time (Riou* mix)”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
