Torn Curtain Lyrics

My sister bought this album yesterday and the whole family listened to it. I loved all of it, especially the guitar on Marquee Moon, but it's this song that's been baunting me. I just keep hearing it in my head, a bit like a bad dream that you're not quite ready to wake up from. I agree with RettAlexis that Television is unlike anything I have heard, but even before I read the liner notes on band influences I could hear heavy strains of the Velvet Underground. This song has the same feel to it as Venus in Furs, possibly one of the darkest songs ever written.

finding oneself looking back to a difficult episode in the past & trying to come to terms with it
