Agreed, my fave bauhaus song. Just heard this album for the first time in about 20 years (not that anyone cares) and it floored me anew. How they set the standard for goth! I can see the image of iron environments as a post holocaust NYC, twisted metal and "fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats", and the labored breathing of trying to survive while trudging through the mire... much like life. Something absolutely alien here, with nonsense lyrics phrased just for the emotions they evoke.
