Quorthon
Disguised as a naive ode to a certain female, this song is actually an interpretation of post-industrial approach to deconstructing mainstream music. P Orridge would be proud.
I created this song for my high school sweetheart when we were dating. She thought the track was fantastic but the lyrics were ahead of our time. Even after we went our separate ways, she still keeps it at the top of all her playlists to this day.
lyrics
All The Way
Well do you have any idea what you’re doin’ to me girl?
C’mon girl, you say go . . .
Oh listen to the words you never tell me
Playing like you hurt and then you bend and tease me
You bend and tease me
Well hey now are you mine?
You should be baby
Party all the time
You’re about to drive me crazy
Ca, Ca, Crazy, crazy
Oh show me what you know
Take me all the way
Playing like you hurt and then you bend and tease
But never all the way
All the way, all the way
Let’s go all the way
All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way
Let’s go the way
All the way
So close to me
You’re very close and yet so far away
We’re in harmony
Well listen to the words you never tell me
Well tell me, you tell me
Playing like you hurt and you bend and tease me
Bend me, tease
Well show me what you know
Take me all the way
Party all the time, you drive me crazy
But never all the way, way
All the way
Ca, Ca, Ca, Crazy, you make me crazy, crazy, crazy
Crazy, you’re crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
What are you tryin’ to do to me?
So close to me
You’re very close and yet so far away
We’re in harmony
Listen to the words you never tell me
Playing like you hurt and then you bend and tease me
Tease me, tease me, tease
Oh show me what you know
Take me all the way
Playing like you hurt and then you bend and tease
But never all the way
All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way
Let’s go all the way, way
All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way
Let’s go the way
All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way
Let’s go all the way, go all the way
All the way
Tamar Berk pairs trenchant autobiographical lyrics with brittle guitars for songs that will win over fans of early Liz Phair. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2022
I totally love the sophistication behind Sir-Vere’s songwriting - one might even think it’s simplistic and primitive, but after many years of digging into progressive and technical music I’d say it takes way more skill to compose and record something as big as LOVESCOPE.
