(Billy Idol/Steve Stevens)
Full moon glow
Steals the light
When headless horsemen ride
In the distance hellhounds cry
And banshee wails arise
Turn your fear into fantasy
Concealing all the pain
You the victim of perfection
The dark side gets its way
The dark side gets its way
Ain't no use singing the blues
Ain't to one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape
[Chorus:]
Tired eyes you cannot fight
The body snatcher comes tonight
Wired mind embraced the sight
The body snatcher comes tonight
Creeping shadows cross the walls
What are they trying to say?
Lucy Love died in this place
I've come to take you away
Turn the spirit when you sleep
And leave an empty space
I'm the demon of destruction
The gods have now been swayed
The gods have now been swayed
Ain't no use singing the blues
Ain't no one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape
[Chorus]
Well you cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design
You cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design
I have reason to believe
There's power in the signs
Look she turns ghostly grey
The dark one has arrived
[Chorus]
Well you cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design
The body snatcher comes tonight
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah you cannot run you cannot hide
Cos evil has its dark design
The body snatcher comes tonight
Ain't to use singing the blues
Ain't no one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape
The lyrics BODY SNATCHER of BILLY IDOL is also present in the album Devil's playground (2005)
Billy Idol, pseudonimo di William Michael Albert Broad, è un cantante e musicista britannico naturalizzato statunitense, nato a Middlesex, Inghilterra nel 1955. Conosciuto per il suo stile rock provocatorio e la sua immagine da punk iconico, Idol ha raggiunto l'apice della popolarità negli anni '80 con successi come "Rebel Yell", "White Wedding" e "Dancing with Myself". Iniziò la sua carriera musicale nei primi anni '70 con i Generation X, un gruppo punk rock che ottenne un discreto successo nel Regno Unito. Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo, Idol intraprese una carriera da solista, collaborando con produttori come Keith Forsey e Steve Stevens, che contribuirono a definire il suo sound distintivo. Il suo album "Rebel Yell" (1983) divenne un successo internazionale, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Idol ha continuato a registrare musica e a esibirsi dal 1980 ad oggi, mantenendo una solida base di fan e influenzando generazioni di musicisti rock.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
