from Oannes *

The Residents, performing in Minneapolis – November 14, 1990.

Δυο τραγούδια από το The King And Eye, το κλασικό άλμπουμ – “μελέτη” των Residents πάνω στον Elvis. Η ζωντανή του παρουσίαση στο Ρόδον Κλαμπ ήταν μια από τις οριακές εμπειρίες, όχι μόνο δική μου, ως concert goer.

Two songs from The King And Eye, the classic Residents’ album – “study” on Elvis. Its live performance in Rodon Club, Athens, was one of the paramount experiences, not just for me, as a concert goer.

❝ Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it’s down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel
Well, I’ll be
I’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, I’m so lonely
I’ll be so lonely, I could die
Oh, although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
They’ll be so
They’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could die
Now, the bell hop’s tears keep flowin’
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black
Well, they been so long on lonely street
They’ll never ever look back
And it’s so
Well, it’s so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
Well, they’re so lonely, they could’ve died
Well, if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel
Where you will be
You’ll be so lonely, baby
Well you’ll be lonely
You’ll be so lonely you could die
Oh, although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
They’ve been so
They’re be so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
They’ll be so lonely, they could die ❞

❝ Look like an angel
You walk like an angel
And you talk like an angel
But I got wise
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
When you fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You’re not the way you seemed
Cause you look like an angel
And you walk like an angel
And you talk like an angel too
But I got wise
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Well I thought that I was in heaven
But I was so surprised
Heaven help me, I didn’t see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel
And you walk like an angel
Oh, and you talk just like an angel
But I got wise
Cause you’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Baby why, tell me why
Are you the devil in disguise
I want to know
Tell me why
But don’t you hurt me no more cause
You’re the devil…. ❞
