Abandoned Flesh

Robert Smith is secure at his Villa in France

Any child knows how to do the spiderweb dance

Siouxsie has enough hits to keep the bills paid

Every New Years in Los Angeles you can still see Richard Blade

But the world forgot about Gene Loves Jezebel

Yeah the world forgot about Gene Loves Jezebel

They charted once or twice

They were on a major label

When the singer went solo

He left money on the table

The two main guys are related

They're at war with each other

Now there's two Genes loving Jezebel

One for each brother

But the world came to agree

What you see is what you get and what you get is what you see

Whether you're The March Violets or The Bolshoi

Bands who had to leave the darkness for the sun

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were on Cherry Red I think

They've been playing clubs since 1981

To be fair to Gene Loves Jezebel

Billy Corgan brought them on stage

It was in 2011

It's on their wikipedia page

But for the most part

However big that chorused bass may throb

You and me and all of us

Are gonna have to find a job

Because the world will never know or understand

The suffocated splendor

Of the once and future goth band
