tongue of silence, lick my lips,
steal my thoughts, steal my pride.
my soul lies offered as i’m waiting,
intoxicate me when you step inside…
hold my hands, my hands are trembling,
your charming beauty takes my breath,
fragrant perfumes veil my senses,
hold my hands sweet tormentress.
out of darkness we call came from,
flight from darkness is in vain,
i am the banquet, i am delicious.
into darkness we’ll fall back again.
meister des mordes, nimm meine augen,
an diesem ort kann ich nicht sein.
strecke mich nieder, zerschlage mein haupt,
meister des mordes, schenke mir den tod…
meister des mordes, erhare mein flehen,
beende die leiden, nimm den schmerz von mir.
ffne die tore, es ist fir mich zeit.
meister des mordes, dieser tanz ist grausamkeit…
meister des mordes, nimm meine augen,
gefangen im fleische, erb rmlich und alt.
fihre mich fort in die dunkelheit,
vater meiner seele, dieser tanz iest grausamkeit.
vater meiner seele, rei mich in den tod…
…es tut mir leid.

Sopor Aeternus “tanz der grausamkeit”

. this is a fine country to be in …
. this is a fine country to be in …
Under the white sky the black limbs of trees,
The cold and the crackle and nothing felt right
Oh this quiet like stillness the mission begun,
They were waiting around for the wasting.

And in the warm nights he would fly from the skies,
By day he just stared at the closing in,
And she just lives there like a fallen down tree,
She says there are places she’d much rather be.

He said, ‘you know sometimes there seems to be
More of the sky and not so much of me…
more of the sky, much less of me…’

Биография The Tiger Lilies: The criminal castrati and his accordion driven anarchic Brechtian street opera trio performing their unique mix of falsetto crooning, strange gypsy music..

The Criminal Castrati’s Anarchic Brechtian Blues Trio

The Tiger Lillies are an extraordinary three piece band with a large cult following in London. They are fronted by singer Martyn Jacques who trained himself as an opera singer with a castrati style voice of heartbreaking beauty, whilst living alone above a strip joint in Soho for seven years.  Accompanied by drummer Adrian Huge, whose appearance was described by David Byrne as James Joyce on drums, and double bass player Adrian Stout, Jacques plays accordion and sings savage and passionate songs about prostitutes, drug addicts and losers, his voice soaring and growling like a man possessed. Ken Campbell has described him as “the criminal castrati”, and with his dickensian style of dress, long  pigtail and bowler hat, his corrosive lyrics and his astonishing voice, all the while singing with his eyes closed, he makes an indelible impression. Jacques sings about life at the bottom of contemporary Britain with the voice of an angel.

The music is a startling mixture of opera, gypsy song and  left bank Paris, but what really marks out this band from any other is the emotional charge and raw passion of the delivery. Because they are impossible to pigeonhole, the band has not yet had a wide commercial success, despite being picked up by David Byrne, with performances at the South  Bank, as well as festivals and foreign tours, but this cannot last for much longer as their reputation is spreading very fast in the art culture underworld.

Recently they returned from a tour of the Czech Republic, with wild stories about driving around in their moss covered old car to venues that ranged from roofless shacks in caravan parks to baroque theatres. At one place Jacques was accosted by a gypsy woman who accused him of seducing her daughter, only to discover it was just a ruse to steal his wallet.

Like many of Britain’s artists and musicians, The Tiger Lillies live in poverty and obscurity whilst achieving international cult status. The nineties may prove to be a time of great flowering of culture, as human voices break out of the straightjacket of style, fashion and commercial thinking that characterised years of conservative government. The emergence of this band is clear evidence that the times are changing.
