Biography

Electronic rock band from the United Kingdom - a brainchild of Richard Fearless (Richard Maguire). Over the years a lot of collaborators have come and gone, making Death In Vegas essentially Fearless' project. Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electronic, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band's sound has constantly been changing, moving between live rock sounds and electronic. The band was formed in London in 1994 by Fearless and Steve Hellier and signed to Concrete Records under the name of Dead Elvis. But objections from the [a=Elvis Presley] estate forced them to change their name, and Dead Elvis became the title of their first album instead.

LYRICS

The lynch mob (?) from
the infinite hole
as judged (?)
(?)
to crucify venus in cinemascope
the narcotic preachers are happy

high priest the mesmorous
the soul auctioneer
sells scorpion tightropes
while suffer on fear
his necropolis uses
the scourge of the queer
he is married to the truth-incinerator

there are hands in my pockets
pulling at my spine
eggs bearing insects
hatching in my mind
the stones in my shoes
get sharper all the time
in the soft sick underbelly
in the carcass of these times

i fly in my head leaving terminal narcosis
a poisoned mind will make you blind
beware of trojan horses
a dead head,
a blunt needle
you've broken your wings
you've lost your demon

drop the bomb,
spread the virus
marxist priests teach defiance
change through violence

there are hands in my pockets
pulling at my spine
eggs bearing insects
hatching in my mind
the stones in my shoes
get sharper all the time
in the soft sick underbelly
in the carcass of these times

you've broken your wings
you've lost your demon
you've broken your wings you've lost your demon
you've broken your wings you've lost your demon
demon
demon
demon
demon
