Plan 9 Channel 7

The Damned

She plays her mouth into a smile
And offers that he stay a while
Two hearts that beat as one
And eyes that hardly ever saw the sun
Hollywood babbles on

She lays a wreath of lilies on his grave
His flame gone along with the love he never gave
Not to be seduced by those red lips
Two dimensional comic clips
Hollywood babbles on,
on and on and on and on.

[Chorus]
Channel 7, eyeshades of grey
Too close but two worlds away
Plan 9, her domain
Too close but two worlds away, they say

Channel 7, eyeshades of grey
Too close but two worlds away
Plan 9, her domain
Too close but two worlds away, they say

Step into the night.

    well, this song is based on Vampira, a 50s horror actor and the supposed lover of james dean. Dave Vanian was obsessed with her, and made this song. You can find the music videEtiqutteo for it on the 25th Anniversey addition of Machine Gun Etiquette, It features the band playing on the Smash it Up video set, Vanian sitting on a chair watching vampira and walking with her, and the whole band and their equipment playing in a feild behind piles of burning leaves and sticks. very unqiue.

    to clarify, it's about the woman who played the lead role in "plan 9 from outerspace" -- widely considered to be the worst movie ever made -- and who went on to attempt a more serious career on channel 7 as some sort of television personality.

    oh, and the lyrics are "her domain" rather than "hello may."

    This song is Dave Vanian's ode to the fabled love affair between 50's horror starlet Vampira and pop-culture icon James Dean. In my opinion it's one of the best off Machine Gun Etiquette.
