| Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi's Dead Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This song has a dual meaning. It is actually a complaint about how the style had been commercialized, and how that scene was dying. The kids back then were not called "Goth", they were called "Bat Cavers". The big club in London was The Bell Tower. He says "White and white translucent black capes, back on the rack": He was saying the style had made it to the stores "on the rack". "The Bats have left the Bell Tower": The club had closed earlier that year.. Believe me, I was there. They stopped wearing Goth clothes after that record. For the most part. |
