Biography

Originally intended as an outlet for [a=Bauhaus] guitarist Daniel Ash to record his more experimental material, Tones On Tail surfaced in 1982 with a self-titled 12" EP on 4AD Records. Fuelled on a steady diet of hash and Big Macs, this musical offshoot became the psychedelic and light-hearted antithesis of Bauhaus' gloom and doom reputation. Danny was initially joined by Glenn Campling on bass & keyboards, and, with the subsequent demise of Bauhaus in 1983, drummer Kevin Haskins, turning this 'side-project' into a 'proper' band. During their short tenure together, Tones On Tail created some of the most inventive, arresting and tongue-in-cheek "pop" music until the group disbanded after an US Tour in late 1984. Ash and Haskins went on to reunite with their Bauhaus bandmate [a=David J] in [a=Love And Rockets] in 1985.

LYRICS

Christian says, everyone's to love him
Christian says, just let go
Christian says,
You can't be happy being this way
Christian says, he'll never let you go
Christian says,
He can't let you, let you run free
Cause Christian says he needs you so

In this age of frozen freaks
The only highs we get are low
In this age of cold relief
Brings only what a way to go
With money in your pocket
You say wise and always free
With money in your pocket
You've got nowhere to go

But baby, baby, baby, wants an empire
Baby, baby, baby needs a real thief
Cause baby, baby, baby wants an empire
Baby, baby, baby wants a real piece
