## Lyrics

*\*Written lyrics may differ from song recordings. All lyrics sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira unless stated otherwise.*

Talk to me. Tell me the truth. This smells sour. This smells sour. Burn my face. Burn my face. I'm a cold fish. You live in me. This smells sour. This smells sour. Burn me now. Burn me now. Be my thing. Be my thing. Burn my face. Burn me now. Burn me now. Burn me now.

### Original Lyric

Peel off my skin. This isn't real. I'm raw, I'm staring at a flame. My nerves are raw. My job eats my time. The floor tastes good. I don't like pain. Protect me from myself. This isn't real. Control me and pay me. I smell a lie. I believe it. You're choking me. Thank you! I smell money. The floor tastes good. I'm staring at the flame. This isn't real. Protect me from myself. Thank you!.

Jane Mary, Cry One Tear

***Jane Mary, Cry One Tear*** is the eighth track on the album The Burning World by Swans.

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

I live in an empty house. There's no one there but memory and me. But I loved a woman once, one hundred years ago for a while. When she left here she was filled with hatred, and with a second child. Now I hear nothing ever changes, but nothing I touch has stayed the same. Everything just turns to poison that I have loved or made. So bury my children's children in a deep and lonely grave. Anything is a cause for sorrow that my mind or body have made... There's a fire on the water. There's a hole in the sky. There's the devil coming down for me, to this room where I'll die. There's a man with a black heart, standing up there on the hill. He's lifting up his burning hands - a cold fire does kill. He's calling down to me alone. He says, "Get down on your knees and cry alone. No one will cry for you." So Jane Mary, cry one tear for me. Cry just one tear for me.

Cop (Song)

***Cop*** is the sixth and title track on the album Cop by Swans.

## Lyrics

*\*Written lyrics may differ from song recordings. All lyrics sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira unless stated otherwise.*

The punishment fits the crime. Nothing beats mutilation. Humiliation's a disease. Nothing beats humiliation. Nothing beats them like a cop with a club. Nothing beats them like a cop in jail. Nothing beats your head in like a cop with a club. Nobody hurts you like a cop with a club. Nobody rapes them like a cop with his club. Nobody beats him like a cop in jail. Nobody burns your skin like a cop with a match. Nobody burns their body like a cop. Nobody burns your skin off like a cop in jail. The heat hurts. Humiliation's a disease. The heat hurts. Heat hurts. The heat hurts.

Love Of Life (Song)

***Love Of Life*** is the second and title track on the album *Love Of Life* by Swans.

## Lyrics

For the love of life, for the love of life, In the light of life, in the love of light... For the love of life, for the love of life, In the light of life, in the love of light... And the strong survive, for the love of life, and the strong will rise, in the endless light. For the blood of life, for the love of life, in the bloodless light, for the love of light, in the blood is light, in the light is life, for the love of life, for the love of life. In the endless light, in the blood of life, now the strong will rise, for the love of light. In the bloodless light, now the strong survive, for the love of life, for the blood of life. And the heavens come, for the strongest ones, in a universe, made of blood and love. In the blood is light, in the light is life, for the love of life, for the love of life.
Coward

***Coward*** is the seventh and final track on the album Holy Money by Swans.

## History

*Coward* has minor roots in the recording sessions for Filth. An early version of *Your Property* called *Your Game* starts with Michael Gira screaming "Put your knife in me. Walk away. I'm worthless".

## Live

During the Greed/Holy Money Tour, *Coward* would typically be drastically slowed down from the studio version, creating an even darker and more crushing atmosphere.

The song reappeared in 2012 live sets at a faster tempo more akin to the studio version. Performances of *Coward* would continue with more experimentation as time went on until being played for the last time on 8/18/2013.

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

I'm a coward. Put your knife in me. Walk away. Walk away. I don't know you: I can't use you. I don't know you: I can't use you. Put your knife in me. Put your knife in me. I love you. I'm worthless. I love you. I'm worthless. Put your knife in me. Walk away. I'm worthless. I love you. I'm worthless. I love you. I'm worthless. I'm worthless.

Laugh

## Lyrics

Choking while laughing, the dog splits open. His steel heart cracks and his blood pumps out on the sidewalk... You laugh out loud. The sound hangs in the air and discolors the walls, and poisons your mind. It sticks to your mind. Bolt the door shut. Sit down at the table. While hiding your teeth, your insides split open. You choked on a laugh. You choked on a laugh. You choked on a laugh. You choked on a laugh.

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

My man walks on hands and knees. I am his first and only child. I am his only true love. I am his only real love. He is mine. He is my saint. He brings me roses and incense, and he closes my mind. Yes he closes my mind, with real love, real love, real love, real love... I will kiss the ground, where he left a taste of his strength of mind. Take me down. Take me down now. Take me down, into the cold dead earth, take me down. Take me down, in your hands again. Take me down. Take me down, with real love, real love, real love, real love... When I dream that sweet dream, when I forget where I am, I will always remember your hand on my shoulder, pulling me down, pulling me down. Into the cold dead earth, take me down. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down there, with real love, real love. Real love, real love. Real love, real love.

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

I'll drink the moonlight from your hands. I'll swim an ocean filled with sorrow. No Lover, please don't go. We can crucify tomorrow... Let the sunlight feed the air. Let it fill our lungs with lies. We'll be memorized by shadows, but our loneliness will survive. Will we survive?... Now the sugar in your soft voice makes the sweetness in your weeping. And the black rose you swallowed feeds the solitude you're dreaming. No I'll never taste your tears again in the darkness that we're breathing in. Now the sun will kill the garden in a universe that's bleeding. Will we survive?

We'll lie down in the warm green grass, and the sun will shine on your pale shape. Our blood will flow black in the dirt, and a black rose will grow where we lay.

### Previous Song

See No More (The Burning World)Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes (Various Failures)

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

When, when we were young, we had no history, so nothing to lose, meant we could choose, choose what we wanted then, without any fear, or thought of revenge. But then you grew old, and I lost my ambition, so I gained an addiction to drink and depression. They are mine, my only true friends, and I'll keep them with me, until the very end. I'd choose not to remember, but I miss your arrogance, and I need your intelligence, and your hate for authority. But now you're gone. I read it today. They found you in Spain, face down in the street, with a bottle in your hand, and a wild smile on your face, and a knife in your back, you died in a foreign land. And they found my letter, rolled up in your pocket, where I said I'd kill myself if she left me again. So now she's gone, and you're both in my mind, I've got one thing to say, before I am drunk again: God Damn the sun. God Damn the sun. God Damn anyone that says a kind word. God Damn the sun. God Damn the sun. God Damn the light it shines, and this world it shows. God Damn the sun. God Damn the sun.

Tonight I'll spend the night in Mona Lisa's bed. She'll hide this beaten man beneath her innocence. Tonight no dream's denied in Mona Lisa's mind. We'll ride a drowning world through the cold black sky. Mona Lisa, Mother Earth... My mind's an ocean in Mona Lisa's hand. She dreams a hiding world where the water runs red. Tonight my dreams are born on Mona Lisa's breast. We'll walk a burning world where the sun shines darkness. Mona Lisa, Mother Earth.

1. "*Laugh*" (4:06)
2. "*Speak*" (4:31)
3. "*Take Advantage*" (4:29)
4. "*Sensitive Skin*" (6:16)

## Style

The EP has a very different sound to successive Swans releases. The music is more explicitly tonal and melodic than later, noisier releases. like Filth. This sound is more akin to other bands in the then-dying no-wave scene in New York.

## Rereleases

The EP was remastered by Michael Gira and S. McAllister, and appended to the 1990 reissue of the follow-up album Filth on Gira's Young God label. Although Filth was reissued again by Young God in 1999 and 2014, the EP did not appear on any subsequent Young God Records reissue until Spring 2015, as a Record Store Day Exclusive Release. The 2015 12" reissue and versions appearing on the Filth Deluxe Edition 3-CD set are the original 1982 mixes faithfully restored.

On the reissue CD the tracks are in a different order; the tracks on each side of the EP are in reverse order.

## Personnel

* Michael Gira – bass/vocals
* Jonathan Kane – drums
* Bob Pezzola – guitar
* Daniel Galli-Duani – saxophone
Right Wrong

***Right Wrong*** is the sixth track on the album Filth by Swans.

Wrong or right, it's not right. Wrong or right, it's wrong. Use your body to get satisfaction. Use your body to get satisfaction. Satisfy the dog. Satisfy the dog. Use your hands to build things. Use your hands to break things. Right or wrong, it's not right. Right or wrong, it's not right. Satisfy the dog. Satisfy the dog,

When other people say you're someone to misuse, shut in behind your young girl's face, and helpless in your bed of thorns, I'll remember who you are. Yes i'll remember who you are: A young girl, unchained... Come back here now. I know you're somewhere still alive. Strong behind your young girl's tears, I know you're somewhere, unchanged. | remember who you are. Yes I remember who you are: A young girl, unchained... There stands a young girl naked, in her innocence, unused. She holds me in her small hand, and she smiles down on me. I am innocent in her dark eyes. I'lI lose my heart in the sand. You're cruel, but you're good for me, and you hold me in your young girl's hands. I remember who you are. Yes I remember who you are, a young girl, unchained.

Young God (EP)

***Young God*** is the second EP by Swans. The EP initially featured no clear indication of its title until it was included in the *Cop/Young God* compilation.

## Young God

### Recorded

May, 1984(Platinum in Zurich, Switzerland)

## Track List

1. "*I Crawled*" (5:40)
2. "*Raping A Slave*" (6:22)
3. "*Young God*" (7:03)
4. "*This Is Mine*" (5:24)

## Overview

*Young God* is regarded as being one of the most brutal Swans releases. The EP was recorded towards the end of sessions for Cop and sounds very similar, though few instrumental choices foreshadow the band's evolution in sound. One notable element of the release is the use of a chain and metal table in the percussion section, thus causing critics to tag the album in the industrial and experimental music categories.

## Cover

The cover of *Young God* continues the red, black, and white color scheme of previous releases and becoming even more simple with only the band's name, track listing, and a note stating "Designed to be played at maximum volume".

## Legacy

* Young God is the name of Michael Gira's record label.
* Kurt Cobain included the EP, under the name of "Raping a Slave", as his fiftieth favorite album on one of his last "50 Favorite Albums" lists in his *Journals*.
* The Swiss industrial rock band The Young Gods took their name from this EP.
* Justin Broadrick of Godflesh cited *Young God* as a key inspiration for his music. About the EP, he said: "The first Swans record I owned was [the Young God] EP, and it absolutely blew me away... it was a sound that I always wanted to hear, just the bleakest and blackest. The minimalist approach of the music, that was what really influenced me. It was non-genre-specific, with a total lack of baggage... purely abstract, surreal, and violent. It communicated to me in a very special way, and taught me that heavy metal could be stripped of everything and reduced to its most primal form."

I will pray. I will pray. I will go down low, and I will pray to you. Down as low as I can go, I will go there, and I will pray to you. I will beg you. I will beg you, Lord. I will deny myself. I will deny you, Lord. Though I've done nothing wrong, never in my life, no, no, no, no, no. I will beg you, Lord, and I will pray for you to forgive me now. I will go down to the center of the earth, and I will curl up in flames, and I will beg you, Lord: Take me in your cruel arms. Take me down home. And I will say: "Come into me, Lord, come in now, come on in. Come in now. Praise the Lord! Praise God!"... Come into my heart, Sweet Lord. Come into my heart. I am open. I am torn apart. I am naked, and I am impure. I am sexless, I am foul. And I am ignorant, and I am hateful. Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me, Lord. Come in. Come on in. Praise God! Praise the Lord! Praise God! Praise the Lord!

The Golden Boy That Was Swallowed By The Sea

***The Golden Boy That Was Swallowed By The Sea*** is the third track on the album Love Of Life by Swans.

## Lyrics

And the endless crowds of people, they walk upon this stone. Where will their memory go, where did their minds come from? And I was only a child, when I first looked in your eyes, and saw your body rise over the ocean... We saw the golden boy bleed love, onto the sand like rain, while we were injecting colors, into our open veins. And deep beneath the water, the dead black silence crawled, far away across the ocean: The golden boy beneath the sea, the golden boy swallowed by the sea... And love is sometimes violent, and violence has no constraint. And I can see inside you, yes I can feel what you think. And with this knife of silver, I will release your soul, and throw it out into the ocean... Nine million miles in a straight line, in a place just like this. In a ship on the water, where no dimensions exist, my hands are holding your picture, and the image it shifts. I tear it up and scatter it over the ocean: The golden boy beneath the sea, the golden boy swallowed by the sea. I'll lose my mind beneath the sea.
Young God (Song)

***Young God*** is the third track on the Young God EP by Swans.

## Overview

In a 2014 interview with *Flavorwire*, Michael Gira explained the origins of the song's title;

**Q:** "How did you come up with the title Young God?

**A:** "Oh, it was very perverse actually, not something of which I’m proud. It is a good name, but it came after reading a lot of books in the early ’80s about various gruesome serial killers. There’s one in particular that I viewed — even though he’s a moron — I viewed him as sort of a Nietzschean God figure in that he viewed the world completely solipsistically and decided that reality was just an extension of his imagination. That person, of course, is Ed Gein, who was the charming fellow who disinterred women’s corpses and would take their body and wear parts of it, decorate his head with their flesh. And he would dress up in their skins and he’d dance around in the moonlight outside his farm. I just thought that was an amazingly poetic image. But at the end of the day, I think my fascination with that was puerile and execrable, so I had the name hung about anyway. But that was the genesis of that song, which then I decided to use the name of for the record label".

**Q:** "Right. But did he ever refer to himself as a Young God?

**A:** "That was me just imposing my childish dreams on him".

## Lyrics

I don't know where I am. I'm dancing in my corpse. I don't remember anything. I'm wearing your flesh. Your flesh is my face. I love your face. I wrap your flesh around my face. When I wear your flesh, I love myself. When I wear your flesh, I love my face. Wrap your flesh around my flesh. Then I love my flesh I love your face. All I can do is kill. All I can do is kill.

### Length

3:57 (Your Game) 4:48 (Cop) 7:47 (YRP) 2:09 (YRP 2) 8:51 (Swans Are Dead)7:14 (We Rose from Your Bead with the Sun in our Head | Yr Property)

### Previous Song

### Next Song

Seal It Over (BtB, JtJ)  Cop  (Cop) Fan's Lament (YRP) Surrogate Drone (YRP 2) Yum Yab (Swans Are Dead) Sex, God, Sex (Yr Property)

## Evolution

*Your Property* has evolved continuously over the lifespan of Swans.

### Your Game (1982)

The earliest released version of *Your Property,* released on the Body to Body, Job to Job compilation. The instrumental is mostly the same, albeit at a faster tempo. The lyrics, however are completely different. The opening line "Put your knife in me. Walk away," was later used in *Coward* from Holy Money. The spoken word section in the main section of the song kept the name "*Your Game*" and was collected in Michael Gira's book, The Consumer and later The Knot.

### Your Property (1984)

*Your Property* is the initial release of the song, featured on *Cop*. The song is based around a 6/8 riff of staccato notes followed by a rest. Over the course of the song the guitar work and drumming get more syncopated and intense, while not quite devolving into complete chaos. Gira's lyrics deal with complete submission to someone in a higher position of power. By the end of the song, the words turn into guttural groans and yells before the song fades out.

### YRP (1996)

A slower and more ambient live rendition of *Your Property* sung by Jarboe and included on Soundtracks For The Blind.

### Yr Prp (1997)

A different live recording of a similar rendition of *YRP* included on the Swans Are Dead live album.

## Lyrics

*\*Written lyrics may differ from song recordings. All lyrics sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira unless stated otherwise.*

I give you money. You're superior. I don't exist. You control me. You're corrupt. You're deformed. You're deformed. You own me. You own me. You own me. Own me. Own me. Own me. I worship your authority. I worship your authority. You're deformed. You're corrupt. I worship your authority. I worship your authority. You own me. You own me.

### Original Lyrics

When I'm with you, I feel the money in your hands. It's coming out of my skin. It's in your pockets. Our eyes meet. We count the seconds. We feel the money growing from hand to hand. We want each other but we barely exist. We make up a desire we can trade for another. You give me money and the money and the power to move. We each have a desire, one among the others. We feel the money in each other's hands.

Love Will Save You

***Love Will Save You*** is the sixth track on the album White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity by Swans.

## Love Will Save You

### Appearances

White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity, Various Failures

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

Love will save you when the ocean splits itself in two. Love will save you when the cold wind blows right through you. Love will save you when the poison eats the precious air. And love will save you from the snake that crawls around down there. But it won't save me.... Love will save you from the evil and greed of ignorant men. And love will save you from the guilt you feel when you betray your only friend. Love will save you from yourself when you lose control. And love will save you from all the lies your lover told you. But it won't save me... Love will save you from the truth when you think you're free. Love will save you from the cold light of boring reality. Love will save you from the corruption of your lazy-minded soul. And love will save you from your selfish and distorted goals. But it won't save me... Love will save you from the black night and the lightning and the ghost. Love will save you from your misery then tie you to the bloody post. Love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea. Love may save all you people, but it will never, never save me. No it won't save..

## Can't Find My Way Home

The song is originally from Blind Faith's self-titled and only album.

## Lyrics

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting so long

Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years

Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

Still I can't find my way home

And I ain't done nothing wrong

But I can't find my way home

## Lyrics

*\*Lyrics are sourced from The Knot by Michael Gira. The written lyrics of some songs may be different from what is recorded.*

These are the things I hold onto. These are the things I use to deceive myself. I line them up in front of me. I judge them carefully. Then I throw them all away. I throw them all away... I am a small man. I am not a dangerous man. I love a child. I love a beautiful child. I love a child. I love a beautiful idea. I will hold this child in my arms. I will caress his soft head. Listen to him cry. Listen to him cry. I could kill the child, the beautiful child. I will kill the child, the beautiful child. This is my life. This is my choice. This is my damnation. This is my only regret. This is my life. This is my life. This is my sacrifice. This is my sacrifice. This is my life. This is my damnation. This is my only regret: that I was ever born. This is my sacrifice. This is my life. What a beautiful idea. This is my only regret: that I ever was born. Get out of my head!
