Where Good Girls Go to Die
London After Midnight Lyrics

Step into this picture
Release all your light
I think God has gone mad, here tonight
You can't believe your eyes control is so hard to keep
Obsession can be hell from which you'll never be free
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve

Forget about the future
Forget about the past
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God make this moment last

You seek to fill me
With virtues I lack
I'll turn your pure white wings to pure black
You've pushed too far and now you've lost control can't you see
You thought you were the master but you're down on your knees
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve
Forget about the future
Forget about the past
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God make this moment last

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be
Remembering our love as if it were a disease
Forget about the future
It wasn't meant to last
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God it's the end at...

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be
Remembering our love as if it were a disease
Forget about the future
It wasn't meant to last
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God it's the end at last

LAM has retained and nurtured the political and socially aware element of the later punk scene that virtually vanished from all music scenes in the early 90s, and has developed as a passionate and political dark rock-music entity. LAM has a large worldwide following, with many gothic rock fans (LAM shuns labels such as "gothic", however, saying that labels limit an artist's creative realm and also destructively divides audiences- unfortunately too many people define themselves by the style of music they listen to and refuse to expand beyond that).

LAM has gained a large and loyal following all over the world, from the USA to Europe to Latin America (where the live band has toured extensively), and beyond. LAM has headlined and co-headlined concerts and major festivals with bands like The Cure, Green Day, HIM (HIM has cited LAM a favorite artist), Rammstein, Soft Cell and many more. LAM has performed to crowds of over 30,000 people as headliner and co-headliner on major music festivals around the world. However, London After Midnight maintains a strong underground and independent "personality" despite being a top seller (charting in the top 10 and top 20 German DAC, and other European independent charts, with each of 4 CDs released) and a major draw at music festivals year after year.

Songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and founder Sean Brennan is known for his strong stances in favor of animal rights, pro-environmental and human rights issues, anti-corporate control of media, and support for progressive and liberal political and social causes. Whatever the approach or subject matter, the music of London After Midnight is deeply touching, powerful, socially aware, romantic, emotional, disturbing, haunting, moving, and often exhibits a morbid wit with its sardonic humor (listen to the tongue-in-cheek "Your Best Nightmare" and try not to think of an Edward Gorey story).

LAM is all this, while at the same time appealing to a wide variety of people. There really is no classification that fits London After Midnight (despite LAM's "dark" image) because the music is so varied and the lyrical content (and even LAM's personality and causes) are unique and uncommon in today's music scene (often breaking boundaries- much to the outrage of people who live and die by genre labels). Sean Brennan shuns all labels (as any artist worth their salt will do) and the music he creates can really only be classified as "London After Midnight".
