Hell Was a City - Marc Almond, The Willing Sinners

Found me out drunk and abandoned

All my horizons in flame

Crying tell all my friends to forget me

'Cause I’ll never see them again

Oh go tell them all to forget me

There’s no love left in me for them

Something is stirring deep inside of me

And I’ll never see them again

How long do you think that you’re going to lick

All of the boots that kick you?

You’ve had your face in the dirt for too long

Sweet revenge long overdue

Oh go tell them all to forget me

There’s no love left in me for them

Something is stirring deep inside of me

And I’ll never see them again

I looked at the Manhattan skyline

The bitterest tears in my eyes

A big ball of slime in the cesspool of life

Under an open sore sky

Oh go tell them all to forget me

There’s no love left in me for them

Something is stirring deep inside of me

And I’ll never see them again

It took me all this time to realise

That Hell was a city on Earth

And Jesus died for me to despise

The pitiful waste of his birth

I craved for the filth of the city

Gold pathway of dreams from my heart

But acid of misery ate up the gold

And sent me right back to the start

Oh go tell them all to forget me

There’s no love left in me for them

Something is stirring deep inside of me

And I’ll never see them again
