This was a fun surprise. Here’s a version of Nine Inch Nails Reptile, off The Downward Spiral album, performed by Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy. Backing him up are Trent Reznor on Bass (I didn’t even know he could play that), Atticus Ross on the Electronics and Jeordie “Twiggy” White. What’s cool about this is that it’s performed in a small room and there’s a hiccup or two along the way. It’s kind of experimental, but really cool. It also segues into another song that’s new to me, Haunted When the Minutes Drag by Love & Rockets (which featured some former Bauhaus members).
Lyrics:
he spreads herself wide open
To let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey
To show me where she’s been
She has the blood of reptile
Just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others
Drip down from within
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure oh
Devils speak of
The way in which she’ll manifest
Angels bleed from
The tainted touch of my caress
Need to contaminate
To alleviate this loneliness
I now know
The depths I reach are limitless
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure oh
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
