Το “κλασικό” single από την πρώτη, electro περίοδο των Ministry. Μαζί [06:27] ένα εναλλακτικό mix, από το αρχείο του Al J. Γι’ αυτήν εδώ τη μέρα, ή για οποιαδήποτε άλλη.
✻
The “classic” single from Ministry’s first, electro period. Plus [06:27] an alternative mix, from Al J’s archive. For this, or any other day.

❝ Well, I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
‘Cause to me every day is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight
Well anytime, any place, anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare
They say, “Why are you dressed like it’s Halloween?”
“You look so absurd, you look so obscene!”
Oh, why can’t I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that’s served?
Why can’t they see they’re just like me?
It’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world
Well, I let their teeny minds think
That they’re dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
‘Cause Halloween is every day, hey
It’s every day, hey
Oh, why can’t I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that’s served?
Why can’t they see they’re just like me?
It’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world
Oh, why can’t I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that’s served?
Why can’t they see they’re just like me?
I’m not the one that’s so absurd
(Why can’t I live a life for me? Oh) Why hide it? Why fight it?
(No! Why should I?) Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling hurt
From denials (oh), reprisals
It’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world
It’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide
It’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide
Oh, it’s the same, it’s the same in the whole wide ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
