Tones on Tail

Tones on Tail was a musical side project of Daniel Ash of the gothic rock group Bauhaus, along with art school friend, flatmate and "Bauhaus roadie" Glenn Campling in 1982. After the breakup of Bauhaus in 1983, they were joined by drummer Kevin Haskins. Their music was described by one critic as "doom-and-dance-pop". The band disbanded in 1984 shortly before Ash and Haskins went on to form Love and Rockets. more »

A branch of cold flames
Hangs over your head
The one thing you could never burn
Its shadow's hanging over you
The shadow's never there
Explodes all over again 

Shakes, we take control today
Shakes, give all your secrets away
Shakes, give us your soul today
Shakes, give it all away 

To crush this foolish pride
I'm standing under glass
Trying to break through all the time
But deception never fails
Can't discover what's seen
What's seen behind these cold eyes 

Shakes, give us your soul today
Shakes, give all your secrets away
Shakes, we take control today
Shakes, give it all away 

Shadows over masses
Faces gun charge
It was too much fun all the time
She said your death must come first
To make this dream more real
You'll never be free again 

Shakes, give us your soul today
Shakes, give all your secrets away
Shakes, we take control today
Shakes, give it all away 

Shakes [Repeat: x3]
