The Ballad of Maxwell Demon - Shudder to Think

Shudder to Think
TV Appearanceyoutube

TECHNOIR is now on Discogs! https://www.discogs.com/user/brstaybeautiful/collection The Ballad of Maxwell Demon - Shudder to Think from Velvet Goldmine Soundtrack. Shudder to Think also sing 'Hot One' on the soundtrack. Although Ewan McGregor is terrible, as ever in Todd Haynes's Velvet Goldmine, it really is an extraordinary film. I thought it was laughable and dire the very first time, I watched it. Since, I have come to appreciate its brilliance and often listen to the soundtrack for fun (excepting the execrable 'Personality Crisis' cover). Best scene is when Christian Bale is watching the gender bending Demon on TV and turns to his appalled parents and says 'That's me!' . A great way to show teenage identification with musical heroes. It was like watching Jimmy watch The Who on 'Ready Steady Go' in Quadrophenia, or The Manics on Rapido. Sterling stuff. Lyrics: Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet Mister, show me the way to earth The boys of Quadrant 44, vicious metal hounds Never come around here no more Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive I'm six feet down and age 25 Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive I came down like water for the age of solar And hail to the father kiss your sons and daughters goodbye, goodbye With steam steady roller lady tongue controller Ten feet tall, better walk it back down Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it It's the only sure-fire way to win Your poison doesn't hurt me, no Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show I'm here to celebrate the one below image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif At last I've heard from good God above As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove I came down like water for the age of solar And hail to the father kiss your sons and daughters goodbye, goodbye With steam steady roller lady tongue controller Ten feet tall, better walk it back down I came down like water for the age of solar I came down like water kiss your sons and daughters, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh You’re ten feet tall, better walk it back down Synthwave and delving back and forward. Any previous uploader who does not want your video on my channel, I will be more than happy to take it down. Your appearance here is merely a small tribute to your good taste and a desire to collect some good stuff in one place.
