This is for when you feel something

Love & Rockets, composed of some former members of seminal goff group Bauhaus. I don't really recall when I first heard of them but I think it was their great cover of "Ball of Confusion". And then one day I heard this song, Haunted (When the Minutes Drag)". I'm sure that was a fine day when I wasn't feeling gloomy at all...

Ah, revel in the melancholy!

The word that would best describe this feeling
Would be haunted
I touch the clothes you left behind
That still retain your shape and lines
Still haunted
I trace the outline of your eyes
We're in the mirror hypnotized
I'm haunted
I find a solitary hair
Gone and still I remenice
I'm haunted

Haunted by your soul
Haunted by your hair
Haunted by your clothes
Haunted by your eyes
By your soul, by your hair
By your clothes, by your eyes
By your voice, by your smile
By your mouth, by your soul
By your hair, by your clothes
By your eyes, by your voice
By your smile, by your mouth
By your soul

Haunted (haunted)

So this is for when you feel happy
And this is for when you feel sad
And this is for when you feel..
Nothing

Ooooh when the minutes drag
Ooooh when the minutes drag

And this is for the tears that won't dry
And this is for a bright blue sky
And this is for when you feel..
Lucky
And this is for when you feel..
Lucky

Ooooh when the minutes drag
Ooooh when the minutes drag

So this is for when you're feeling happy again
And this is for when you're feeling sad
And this is for when you feel..
Something

Ooooh when the minutes drag
Ooooh when the minutes drag

Haunted (haunted)
When the minutes drag
Haunted (haunted)
When the minutes drag

Ooooh
Ooooh

  1. Brings back fond memories of college, when I used to play this when I was a DJ at the college radio station. The soundtrack to "She's Having A Baby" is my fav.

  2. Awesome! I didn't even realize how popular the song was until I stopped listening to it, if that makes any sense. Kinda like thinking you've found a secret spot then turns out everyone and their mother knows about it.
