Auto da Fé Lyrics Gay Woods
Hey somebody give us something,
Hey somebody give us something,
Don’t make us cop out,
Don’t make us blot out,
Hey somebody give us some.
We’re down and out, we’re down and outs,
We have energy to sell, energy to kill,
No money, no money to buy disco
So we walk, walk, walk till we drop down dead.
We are night hawkers, street walkers-
Laugh little girl your teenage scream-
She looks so queer but she sees your leer,
But don’t forget, don’t forget,
Don’t forget your line leads to here-
Right here babies.
Hey somebody give us something,
Hey somebody give us something,
Don’t make us cop out,
Don’t make us blot out,
Hey somebody give us some.
Listen listen to the newsbroadcasts,
Get off, get off to the Radio Beat,
They are testing, testing, cheating, cheating
Day and night it’s the new witch-hunt.
Trouble and struggle, toil and strife,
I see it as part of this wonderful new life,
Dawn to dawn, I’m still going wrong,
But I’m holding on, I’m holding on,
I’m holding on, still hanging on.……..
It’s like an auto da fé,
It’s like an auto da fé,
It’s like an auto da fé,
It is an auto da fé-
This is your auto da fé-
It’s just an auto da fé-
I won’t do what they say-
I can’t do what they say………
It’s the sweet eighties way-
It’s the sweet eighties way……

I've been a fan of 5GDTTS from over the other side of the world ever since those original EPs came out, so this release really made my week. In particular, Blue Moon is just superb.
Now, another release featuring the rest of the Fanning sessions and some live tracks would really help cement their legacy. :-) Arctinurus
Incredible album. I'm so happy how "Little Green Cars" evolved into Soda Blonde, and extremely pleased that Faye O'Rourke is at the forefront of vocals with her fantastic, captivating voice. Such a moving album, and the underlying themes really presenting a sort of isolation and general feeling of being upset in a relationship, in my interpretation. Fave Tracks: In The Heat Of The Night, Swimming Through The Night, Terrible Hands, Small Talk, Choices qmodijs888888

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray
