Gang of Four - 5.45
"Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Ionic charge gives immortality
The corpse is a new personality"
Gang of Four - Guns Before Butter
(HD Audio, Lyrics)
"All this talk of blood and iron
It's the 'cause of all my shaking
The fatherland's no place to die for
It makes me want to run out shaking
I hear some talk of guns and butter
That's something we can do without
If men are only blood and iron
O Doctor Doctor, what's in my shirt?
Just keep quiet, no room for doubt"
@TheAbbotTrithemius Such an amazing album!
Yes! It's unreal. The precision and the energy, abrasiveness and beats...the ironic, funny and dead on political lyics. Truly amazing album.
Also the first time the toured the U.S in 1980 or so, there live shows were so amazing Ive heard people talk about them with awed reverence and also inspired and launched so many good bands.
