about

This track was written & recorded at the same time as 'Lone Bell', but it's taken a little longer to see the light of day as we threw it on Chris Sheldon's desk and said, "do what thy wilt!"

So Chris did.

Big, isn't it?!

Subject-wise, the term, 'resurrection man', referred to 'grave robber-s' between the 17th - 19th centuries, who'd illegally dig up corpses and sell them to doctors/surgeons for dissection/studies.

We think it's a crying shame the occupation fell by the wayside...

lyrics

RESURRECTION MAN.

(V1)
The clouds are heavy around my shoulders,
A cloak of midnight rain.
Uneasy sounds in the distance,
They ain't so easy to tame.
You'd cross yourself if you cam across me,
You fuckers usually do..
But take a look at this cold, damp lump,
One day it's gonna be you.

(Bridge)
So call me! At the witching hour,
You got a devil of a plan.
Call me! I got the power,
I'm the Resurrection Man.

You dig it? (x4)
You dig it? (dbl time)

(CH)
I'm your Resurrection Man (x3)
I'm the fucken resurrection, man!

(V2)
I bring you worms, I bring you roses,
A box of earthly delights.
It's time to cross my palm with silver,
Then I'm back in the night.
Next time you want a helping hand
In your hour of need:
Know this - I ain't too far away,
I hear your whispers, I hear you plead...

(Bridge)
(CH)
(Break)
(CH)

about

Ausgang-Kabuki UK

In 1982/3, Ausgang evolved out of the ashes of various punk/post-punk bands in & around Birmingham, UK. 'Goth' was in the process of becoming a 'thing' and we got caught up in the whole exciting, sexy mess. To be honest, the early days were the best - playing songs about love, sex & the 'human' condition'.When we reformed in the 2000's, we had no idea of the legacy we'd left behind... ... more
