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

you're given two sets of clues
with the answers all the same
and a two-speed crossword
called 'love in the suds'
your bullet holes are screaming
wearing shoes you should be seen in
with a brave knife and fork
we're all set to go flying
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
wow

your thought for the weeks
in the river, river, river
feels something like a crow
flying round with the planes
and the fish down under
coming up with rust inside
and your summer days were spent
collecting soap opera stories
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
wow

saved by the music makers
speed boat to freedom
with the beautiful people
bullet holes in your head
but you're running out of time
and you're running out of freedom
now the animal crackers
all set to go flying
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)

here comes trouble - comes trouble (6x)
here comes trouble
