Lyrics
Robert Smith is secure at his villa in France
Any child knows how to do the Spider Web Dance
Suzy has enough hits to keep the bills paid
Every New Year's 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 Mole Shore
Bands who had to leave the darkness for the sun
Red Lordy, Yellow Lordy
They were on Cherry Red, I think
They've been playing clubs since 1981
To be fair to Gene Loves Jezebel
Billy Corgan brought them up on stage
This was in 2011
It's on their Wikipedia page
But for the most part, however big that chorused bass did throb
You and me and all of us are gonna have to find a job
Because the world will never know nor understand
The suffocated splendor of the once and future Gothband
