Lust
The Raveonettes Lyrics
I fell out of heaven
To be with you in hell
My sin's not quite seven
Nothing much to tell
Lust I haven't craved
A sainted boy I'm not
I take it to my grave
A side cursed on rot
Beneath the sulfur sky
Everywhere I roam
Life is one big lie
When the fireball goes down
Out by LA waste
I come into town
But only for a day
If starving in bed means
I pray for you to understand
The man sure is sleek
But lost was my hand
I struggle and I cry
I pounce with no revenge
At least I never lied
Or took the truth to rail

The Raveonettes is an indie rock/shoegaze/noise pop duo formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2001. Comprising Sune Rose Wagner (guitar, instruments, vocals), formerly of Psyched Up Janis, and Sharin Foo (guitar and vocals), their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmony inspired by The Everly Brothers, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise.

The name, The Raveonettes, is a direct reference to The Ronettes, and Buddy Holly's song Rave On!.
Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. Altogether, they sound very much like a slightly more melodic version of The Jesus and Mary Chain.

On April 4th, 2011, they released "Raven in the Grave", a nine-track studio album with Vice Records. It's their 5th studio album.
From their site bio:
“I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album,” explains Sune. “This is the first Raveonettes album we've done which doesn't feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It’s all very un-Rave.”
“It has a mood of ethereal defiance” Sharin adds. “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring”.

I fell out of heaven
To be with you in hell
My sin's not quite seven
Nothing much to tell
Lust I haven't craved
A saintly boy I'm not
I'll take it to my grave
Beside it cursed I'll rot
I ride these roads alone
Beneath the sulfur sky
Everywhere I roam
Life is one big lie
When the fireball goes down
Out by L.A. ways
I come into town
But only for a day
Starving on my knees
A prayer for you to understand
A man sure is weak
But lust holds my hand
I struggled and I cried
I pounced with no avail
At least I never lied
Or did the truth derail

A friend showed this to me, like, 3 years ago, around '07. I think it was near the time that Lust Lust Lust was released, and after that, I had it bookmarked. I kept listening to it over and over and over again, and I FINALLY got a hold of all of their albums a few weeks after. I LOVE these guys SO MUCH.
