Crowds Lyrics

Cover art for Crowds lyrics by Bauhaus

hmm i'd always assumed it was about a person he was speaking about, but now that i really LOOK at it... i think it is indeed about his fans. in the first stanza he's asking his audience what they want from him, to look a certain way, to act a certain part. in the second stanza he states what he despises of this "adoration" and that he sings for them and their stimulations. the best part (in my opinion) has him literally cursing the crowd and what they dare do, spit on him. he spits back and states that when the times comes, "the judas howl", he will be like the strong "jesus jew" and still be there inspite of them and he can still walk away from the crowd.
