Lyrics

Since my baby left me I found a new place to dwell Down at the end of Lonely Street Heartbreak Hotel Oh, feelin' so lonely, baby Feelin' so lonely, baby Feelin' so lonely, baby I could die The bellhop is crying The desk clerk's dressed in black They've been gone on Lonely Street They never will get back 'Cause they're Feelin' so lonely, baby Feelin' so lonely, baby Feelin' so lonely, baby They could die If your baby leaves you And you have a tale to tell Just take a walk down Lonely Street Straight to Heartbreak Hotel You could be so lonely And I could be so lonely We could all be so lonely We could dieAll right, we're gonna, we're gonna play an old track by Bauhaus which, uh, I hope you will enjoy. This is, uh, "The Passion Of Lovers", which I still think sounds as new as it did when it was Originally minted. Sort of "fades in quietly" as Mr. Peel would say "The Passion of Lovers" from Bauhaus. I'm quite horrified to discover That that came out in 1981, which seems like another age Really. We're talking to Daniel Ash about his new band Tones on Tail, which in case people haven't seen, um, sort Of engineer's jargon for the way they store tapes on reels That's where they put the sort of reference tones, whistles Isn't it? They say the tones are on the tail of the tape That's where we got the name of the band You were literally searching around and There it was in front of you, isn't it? Uh, yes, yeah, that was to do with, uh, Derek Tompkins Who works in Wellingborough, who we use a lot, but we've Always used him with Bauhaus. And, uh, he just put on The end of one of the reels that, uh, the tones were on The tail. So we said, "Ah, it's for a band, Tones on Tail." Right, you're working, we haven't given them all Name checks, with Kevin Haskins, a name from The past as we can say, also Glen Campling who... The famous Glen Campling The famous, the famous roadie, Glen Campling, it says Yeah, he doesn't like being called that, actually, the roadie For how long has Glen been performing Rather than humping things around? Performing, well he hasn't actually performed yet. I mean, uh... He's in the other room, I've got a feeling He has, he has, he's never done a live gig, but, um We're hoping to start in May rather than April, which is All the adverts are going out for us being on tour in April But in actual fact it's had to be postponed until May What, to get it right, basically? Uh, no, not for us, it's just, uh, a bit of a mix-up with the agency That we're going with that, uh, are doing the, they're doing the tour All right, so ignore... Glen prefers to be called, um, Glen the bass player or synth Player. And former roadie. He's got a bit of an ego, probably How come Kevin, uh, is involved, how come Kevin is involved in This project? Was that a natural move from the end of Bauhaus? Well, he's, he's just, uh, he's just got a pretty face Really, and I mean that's the main sort of asset I mean, we need to sell the band, and if anybody's Going to sell it, I think it's Kevin with his pretty face I think this is wonderful. You've obviously relaxed a little now Because, uh, we must say, during, during that record, we were Discussing the fact that now the spotlight is, um, hard and Square on your face, are you finding it, uh, a little bit odd? Oh yeah, I can't cope with it. But, uh, yeah, carry on All right, I'll ask you a question while the spotlight's On you. Is, is Tones on Tail gonna represent any Sort of drastic, uh, change in direction for you? Uh, no, I think really it's a continuation rather than a change. Uh We just, many of the things that we felt, uh, that we, our Convictions in the past with Bauhaus are continuing With Tones on Tail anyway. And, uh, the only Difference is there's a slightly different line-up So it's quite, it's quite likely that if Bauhaus had continued, it Might well have been doing some of The sort of material you're doing now Uh, who knows, who knows, he whispers. Yes, maybe. I think some of the Tracks could have been used for, for Bauhaus, uh, particularly tracks Like "War". But, uh, yeah, we're just hoping to continue the same Sort of theme as with Bauhaus to a degree. But Obviously it's going to change to a certain degree Because of different people being involved Right, as he kicks the table in the background, I wonder, you know Image and presentation were a very important part of the The whole Bauhaus package, and I assume that's going to continue Uh, do you? Has it worked out, has it been worked out You know, exactly how you will present it? Um, well basically instead of black, we're, we're just going into A negative of that and we're using white. Just, uh, not necessarily As a reaction towards that, I think Bauhaus was very relevant For the time. But now, uh, I don't know why, but, uh, white Seems to be the colour. I think it's probably because it's spring Well, a young man's fancies. Are you still the dominant person In this band? As you were at the end of Bauhaus or whatever? Oh, I don't know about that I mean, are you, are you, as they always say, calling the shots? No, no. Um, well I write the words, but, uh, I don't think that's Necessarily more important than the music itself anyway. I think I Should give, you know, as much credit to Kevin and Glen as well for Actually producing the music. I just stick some words on top of it All right, what are your immediate plans now? Uh, the immediate plans, the immediate plans are to go on tour In May, not April as advertised, because of various problems And as far as records are concerned? As far as records are concerned, big pun, uh, we've got a new single Coming out probably in about three weeks' time And, uh, we can't actually say what it is, but Kevin Haskins is just running into the room... I see Kevin Haskins! Kevin Haskins The pretty face, as he said, the beautiful face I mean, look, all he needs is a moustache That's it, you took the words out of my mouth Anyway, this is a cryptic clue to the next single A small excerpt from a cautionary tale Okay And hidden inside the title of it is a clue to... Hello spider Oh yes, I see Is a clue to, uh, the title of the next single, and it goes something Like this. There's a famous seaside town called Blackpool that's Noted for fresh air and fun, and Mr. and Mrs. Ramsbottom went there With young Albert, their son. A grand little lad were young Albert All dressed in his best, quite a swell, with a stick with an oyster's Head handle. Can I advertise? The finest that Woolworths could sell But, that's enough, I think, because I'll waffle on for ages Here is a hint It's about four minutes long, the actual poem Live performances will get the entire Version of Albert and the Lion, will they? Maybe Along that way. Gentlemen, thank you, both of you, for Coming in today. Um, we'll play a track that I believe Is not going to be the next single. This is "Real Life"
