lyrics

Each week I put my clothes on the same way
Each week I put my hair up the same way
Each night I laugh and cry the same way

Each night I sleep the same way
The only thing that’s different is
I’m going to the theatre tonight

No fun in sitting alone reading a book
No fun in watching some broads in a show
No fun in sitting doing some work
No fun in watching them fight

I’m going to the theatre on a Saturday night
I’m gonna have some fun tonight
I’m going to the theatre on a Saturday night
And I’m gonna chase some chicks around the aisles
I’m going to the theatre on a Saturday night
And I’m gonna catch me some great disease
I’m going to the theatre on a Saturday night
And I’m gonna become a great disgrace

No fun in sitting alone reading a book
No fun in watching some broads in a show
No fun in sitting doing some work
No fun in watching them fight

Hey, who’s that up in the booth watching over us?
Hey, is that Henry’s mom coming to get him?
Look at him hide, look over there it’s Billy and Sally
Their faces are wet, who knows where they’ve been
Who knows where they’ve been

Hey, who’s that up in the booth watching over us?
Hey, is that Henry’s mom coming to get him?
Look at him hide, look over there it’s Billy and Sally
Their faces are wet, who knows where they’ve been
Who knows where they’ve been

I hope tonight never ends
I hope tomorrow never comes
I hope tonight never ends
So long as I got my black cape on tonight
I hope tonight never ends
I hope tonight never ends

Cold

Can you believe that in the decade that saw second-wave and atmospheric black metal take shape, the iciest album of the times would come from sweltering Arizona (by way of Iowa)? The album is Cold, it looks cold, and it is bloody cold indeed. AJ

Strangers
by Grey Gallows

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023

New on Grimalkin, this EP from Phantómódel is an irresistible batch of gothy post-punk that is delightfully harrowing. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 16, 2019
