Calling cards of madness
Pull the brass men from their knees
To petrify more images to dangle just outside the reach
Of the stunted and the dreamless ones who have nothing left to keep
For frozen dawns or nights as cold as these have been
Don't ask for explanations
There's nothing left you'd understand
You're one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned
The wild, the beautiful and the damned
We read the latest venereal journals
Flicked through some catalogues of fear
You tore some more pages from your old lovers hearts
Then we engineered a wild reunion in a Berlin alleyway
While your New York fuehrer (?) tore our universe apart
(Chorus)
Break my legs politely
I'll spit my gold teeth out at you
Your sores are almost big enough to step right inside now
I'll send you truckloads of flowers from all the worlds that you stole from me
I'll spin a coin in the madhouse while I watch you drowning
(Chorus)
The wild, the beautiful and the damned
(Repeat and fade)
Ultravox are a British new wave band formed in London in 1973. Originally called Ultravox! (with the exclamation mark), the name was inspired by the German band Neu!. After their first two albums, they dropped the exclamation mark. Their sound evolved from early progressive rock to a more electronic and melodic synth-pop, profoundly influencing the new wave scene of the 1980s. The band achieved international success with the album *Vienna* (1980), which included the singles "Vienna", "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" and "The Voice”. Midge Ure, singer and songwriter, became the face of the group after replacing John Foxx in 1979. Other important members were Billy Currie (keyboards) and Chris Cross (bass). Ultravox released several successful albums throughout the 1980s, including *Rage in Eden* (1981), *Quartet* (1982) and *Lament*. After a break in 1984, the band reunited for some tours and sporadic projects. **Representative tracks:** Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, The Voice, Hymn, All Stood Still

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.
