lyrics
Goodnight London
I thought I felt an earthquake
I thought I’d had a stroke
When the city full of people
Turned to shadows made of smoke
Now huddled with my wireless
And an atlas of the Earth
I’ll say my little words yes I
Will spin the globe and watch it die
And wish you all a fond goodbye
For what it may be worth
The bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it’s just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh, we’ll remember you
And farewell Buenos Aires
And no one’s left to see the fires in Hong Kong
So goodnight London, goodnight
There goes Salt Lake City
Where my best friend Kelly lived
And through the static I can hear
The sendoff in Madrid
And I kissed a girl from Moscow once
But now the Kremlin’s ash
So please accept my little blessing song
I’ll sing to all the lost as long
As I’m alive—there goes Saigon
In the mercy of the flash
And the stars above explode eternal
Ballet from the black
And maybe this is fitting
That we dance with light right back
I never got to know Australia
Sorry that I never wrote, Shanghai
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Snuff out the candle on Mumbai
I thought I felt an earthquake
I thought I’d had a stroke
When the city full of people
Turned to shadows made of smoke
Now huddled with my wireless
And an atlas of the Earth
I’ll say my little words yes I
Will spin the globe and watch it die
And wish you all a fond goodbye
For what it may be worth
The bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it’s just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh, we’ll remember you
And farewell Buenos Aires
And no one’s left to see the fires in Hong Kong
So goodnight London, goodnight
There goes Salt Lake City
Where my best friend Kelly lived
And through the static I can hear
The sendoff in Madrid
And I kissed a girl from Moscow once
But now the Kremlin’s ash
So please accept my little blessing song
I’ll sing to all the lost as long
As I’m alive—there goes Saigon
In the mercy of the flash
And the stars above explode eternal
Ballet from the black
And maybe this is fitting
That we dance with light right back
I never got to know Australia
Sorry that I never wrote, Shanghai
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Snuff out the candle on Mumbai

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 143 fans who also own “Goodnight London (Gated Community 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.

All The Way Down
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 131 fans who also own “Goodnight London (Gated Community 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.

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

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 129 fans who also own “Goodnight London (Gated Community 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.
