You Made Your Bed (lo-fi 'live-in-the-studio' acoustic version)

lyrics
Did you sleep okay?
Did you dream of me?
Did you wake up cold
with tears ready to fall?
Did you lie awake
'til the cold grey dawn?
Did you wait for me
to give in and give you a call?
Well, you made your bed...
Did the sirens wail
through the traffic noise?
Did the railway tracks
distantly rattle and spark?
Did the foxes call
For company
Crying out
Like children afraid of the dark?
Well, you made your bed...
Were there creaking sounds
On the stairs outside
As if my ghost
Was coming home late again?
Did the car alarms
And the keening cats
And the far-flung planes
and the dripping tap
And the boiling pipes
And the factories
And the loneliness
And the tragedy
And the howling wind
And the driving rain
And the constant itch
And the constant pain
Of your regret
and your mistake
Keep you tired
and keep you wired
and keep you, keep you awake?
Well, you made your bed...
...Now you can lie in it
Well, you made your bed...
...Now you can lie alone
(And you can tell yourself I’m coming home)
Well, you made your bed...
Now you can lie in it
Well, you made your bed...
Now you can lie to yourself
(And you can tell yourself I’m coming home)
Did you dream of me?
Did you wake up cold
with tears ready to fall?
Did you lie awake
'til the cold grey dawn?
Did you wait for me
to give in and give you a call?
Well, you made your bed...
Did the sirens wail
through the traffic noise?
Did the railway tracks
distantly rattle and spark?
Did the foxes call
For company
Crying out
Like children afraid of the dark?
Well, you made your bed...
Were there creaking sounds
On the stairs outside
As if my ghost
Was coming home late again?
Did the car alarms
And the keening cats
And the far-flung planes
and the dripping tap
And the boiling pipes
And the factories
And the loneliness
And the tragedy
And the howling wind
And the driving rain
And the constant itch
And the constant pain
Of your regret
and your mistake
Keep you tired
and keep you wired
and keep you, keep you awake?
Well, you made your bed...
...Now you can lie in it
Well, you made your bed...
...Now you can lie alone
(And you can tell yourself I’m coming home)
Well, you made your bed...
Now you can lie in it
Well, you made your bed...
Now you can lie to yourself
(And you can tell yourself I’m coming home)

A Dark Adapted Heart recommends:
-
Perfectly described by someone else as 'Britney Spears singing with Nine Inch Nails'. Perfect pop-synth-joy-misery-singalongs that feel like metal even though there are no guitars. Ace videos too.

The Tyranny Of Inaction
by Rosetta StoneA stone cold classic goth-industrial album chock full of brilliant songs. Can't recommend it enough.
go to album -
Lay There & Drown / The Hole (single)
by the WeepLovely, gnarly tom-driven 90s-style goth but better. Great lyrics; great vocals. Sounds a bit like The Marionettes but properly produced. Can imagine this one becoming a pre-midnight Slimes classic.

-
The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album -
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
go to album -
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur.
