This is my 30-minute cassette from Hospital Productions. Edition of 60.
It consists of three live versions of the song "Creep," from the upcoming Desperate album.
Dom had this to say about it:
Three live recordings of a synth heavy feedback driven anthem with that desperate and dark voice he is known for. Long running but still very underground new england power electronics with emphasis on the electric part and not just hiding behind a wall of noise.
Here are the lyrics:
She was perfect. She made me hate myself. I used to smile at her over the counter. Halfhearted smile and nod returned. Without recognition in her eyes. She lived her life in a beautiful glass bubble. Her friends and lovers. Refined, intelligent, talented. I never touched her. Never even spoke to her. She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Even back then I knew she would be a star -I cut out everything I could find. Pictures, stories, interviews. Bedroom wallpaper shrine. Sometimes she threw out locks of her hair. For me to find in her trash at night. I read all her books. Dressed like her friends. Stopped eating. Started pumping iron. When I cut myself I hid the scars. I had to make myself worthy of her. Deserving of her affections. And when I was perfect. We would consummate our elopement. In a dark alley or abandoned building. I would have a gift in my pocket. She would wear a rose round her neck -But it's all for nothing now. It was more than a lock of hair. Stuffed into a dumpster. In an alley behind her apartment. Raped... murdered... and other things. I cried at her funeral. After everyone else had gone. It wasn't me. I couldn't even touch her. She died in the arms of another lover. I didn't do it. But I wish I had. Now I don't know what to do
