A few from Killing Joke




Every 7 or 8 months ill post some KJ stuff. I figure that if i keep at it i might be able to garner a few new fans.






Intravenous. From the album Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions(1990)


The lyrics to this song are so important that i decided to post them.

I looked across the North Sea
And the sea looked so dead
(I wondered what this place would look like
In the next twenty years)
But where I'm living
All the shop shelves are full
Goods to help me shut out
Scenes of this dying world

And every time I tried to hide
The churning of my guts inside
Everybody failed to heed the warning
Mother, mother I just stand by
They push the needle deep inside
Pump poison in your veins
Intravenous

Holidays were different
All the things I learnt
All the boys were sunning
While the skin cancer burnt
Just for one split second
I saw the great work of man
As he turned the forests
Into deserts of sand


Warning. Video has images of world trade center collapse. I would have chosen another video but this one had the best quality.






Sanity is from KJ's late 80's, New Romatic, dance rock period. I hated the album this song is from when i first heard it. Now its one of my Favorites


Sanity(Brighter Than A Thousand Suns-1986)






Both Majestic and Gratitude are from the great, but somewhat shitty produced, Hosannas From the Basements of Hell(2006).


They are also two of KJ's most heaviest songs.


The song Graitude is about friendship, personal empowerment and a band showing gratitude towards its fans.


Gratitude.





Majestic.
