Easily one of the greatest bands on earth and easily one of their best albums and certainly with its fair share of misery. Not a single song on this matchless set is upbeat, just look at these lyrics:
“It's time the tale were told. Of how you took a child and you made him old”;
“Oh, what a mess I've made of my life”;
“Love is just a miserable lie. You have destroyed my flower-like life”;
“I lost my faith in Womanhood”;
“There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight”;
“I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear”;
“But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore”;
“Yes, I know my luck too well and I'll probably never see you again”; “Oh, I'm too tired, I'm so sick and tired and I'm feeling very sick and ill today”;
“Life is never kind”;
“Dig a shallow grave and I'll lay me down”
But what do you think?
