The fire in your eyes

Happy (belated) [it was actually on 12th, but the party's tonight] 60th birthday, Lou!

Once a Goth, always a Goth...

...and here's the "Gothiest" of all Goth anthems, by way of a celebration:

Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn

The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive, keeps me alive

The world
And the world turns around
The world and the world, yeah
The world drags me down

Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn, yeah

Yeah-hey...

The fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes
Keeps me alive
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary

And the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down
And the world and the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world and the world and the world
The world drags me down

Sanctuary
Sanctuary

Indeed.

"Normal" service might be resumed tomorrow on our return from Dorking. Or maybe not. We'll see how it goes...

  1. That is very goth. Nice little Mick Jagger jiggle at the beginning.

  2. I recognised the song straight away, but until now never knew what it was called or who sang/performed it - thank you, Jon!
    Hope you have a fab night!

    1. Glad to be of assistance in building your music library, Mr DeVice.

      It's been a bloody good weekend (more on that later, no doubt)! Jx

    1. Thankfully, however, the live singer didn't attempt to do a cover of She Sells Sanctuary... Jx
