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

Your eyes flash bright
but no longer have fire
everywhere you turn
this world is your shadow
with a pretty face
you burn so many eyes
this is the movement of fear
weird pop
you can't control
a smashing guy
a sack of gold
teach me to be happy
teach me control
this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear
loved the stare
that never cracked
loved the doors
they were never locked
loved the fools
at your finegertips
this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear
