               Current 93: A Gothic Lovesong
I'm cAmlicking youFr fingers Gfor a gothic Emtwilight
That Amactually exFisted just Gin your heaEmd
YoFur fingernails painted bEmlack
Or blooFdred
I forGgetG7  
AnFd your fake-leatheGr volumes
JaCbbering on hAmell
MaFnifest decGadence was what you Emhoped to exhaiAml
YFour eyes tried sGo hard to glitAmter
A stAmar-snuffing bFlack
So yoGu opened your boEmoks
And Amyou opened youFr legs
And sGo opened your Emheart
And lFet in the badneEmss
You cFlaimed
As yoGur friendG7  
WitAmh un-angels hovFering
Like Gflies round thEme orchard
ThaAmt had covered yFour soul
TheiGr empire increaEmsing
And yFour countryEm  
DeserFted by yoursGelfG7  
The beFlls of GSt. Mary caCll us to remeAmmber
That lFife is Gwith endEm  
And thFe gestures can kilGl us
MoreovCer destroyAm  
And thFere is onGe judgment onlyAm  
Your Amletters came daiFly
In FrGench or in GermaEmn
But Amthey meant to me Fnothing
I cauGght the slow corEmds
And Fdry iEmce foggFing your mGindG7  
I seFe all Gtoo cClearly nAmow
Why Fyou cGould be diEmscarded
And Fthough I could praGy for you
I prCobably shan'tAm  
HaviFng had mGy cup fillEmed up
With Fyour lies
And your mGakeupC  Am  
You Fwere nothGing
ThinCking you're somethiAmng

A siFgn to Gmyself
And Cthe memory of my pAmast
And Fa way to shGut out your fAmace

Current 93: A Gothic Lovesong

Am F G Em

I'm clicking your fingers for a gothic twilight

Am F G Em

That actually existed just in your head

F Em

Your fingernails painted black

Or bloodred

G G7

I forget

F G

And your fake-leather volumes

C Am

Jabbering on hell

F G Em Am

Manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail

F G Am

Your eyes tried so hard to glitter

Am F

A star-snuffing black

G Em

So you opened your books

Am F

And you opened your legs

G Em

And so opened your heart

F Em

And let in the badness

You claimed

G G7

As your friend

Am F

With un-angels hovering

G Em

Like flies round the orchard

Am F

That had covered your soul

G Em

Their empire increasing

F Em

And your country

F G G7

Deserted by yourself

F G C Am

The bells of St. Mary call us to remember

F G Em

That life is with end

F G

And the gestures can kill us

C Am

Moreover destroy

F G Am

And there is one judgment only

Am F

Your letters came daily

G Em

In French or in German

Am F

But they meant to me nothing

G Em

I caught the slow cords

F Em F G G7

And dry ice fogging your mind

F G C Am

I see all too clearly now

F G Em

Why you could be discarded

F G

And though I could pray for you

C Am

I probably shan't

F G Em

Having had my cup filled up

With your lies

G C Am

And your makeup

F G

You were nothing

C Am

Thinking you're something

F G C Am

And nonetheless I still write this gothic lovesong

F G

A sign to myself

C Am

And the memory of my past

F G C Am

I still write this gothic lovesong

F G

A sign to myself

C Am

And the memory of my past

F G Am

And a way to shut out your face
