The Cult takes me back, @[Es...]. I don't know that song - I assume this to be later and I had stopped listening to them by then. I know The Cult more from the 'She Sells Sanctuary' period, nearly 40 years ago now! 

Edit: Yeah - it was from few years later. I had largely moved on from that music scene by that stage.

It's yet another song about Edie Sedgwick, but written long after her death in 1971. The Cult recorded it in 1989. I'm forever fascinated by her and by how she had screwed up her life, which had every chance to be peaceful and reasonably good. This dark theme of self-destruction in people runs through my life, along with my own theme, probably because of C-PTSD. Before The Cult, Bob Dylan allegedly wrote about her in "Like a Rolling Stone" in 1965. His song "Just Like a Woman" (1965) is also about her. Edie Sedgwick came from a very wealthy family, but she probably had PTSD, cause of a very conflicted situation with her father. The fact that she left that family changed nothing. She was already programmed for self-destruction, which ultimately led her to booze and drugs. They killed her at 28, despite all her desperate attempts to eradicate toxicity from her life. A child raised with a toxic parent will reenact the whole situation their entire life, it's hopeless. I remember her beautiful face just before she became famous and was still treated for anorexia. All her later attempts at making herself beautiful only made her ugly and fake. She wanted to be someone else and it destroyed her...

Heaven, a gateway I hope

Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke

And though it hurts me to treat you this way

Betrayed by words I'd never heard, too hard to say

 

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

 

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

 

Each way I turn I know I'll always try

To break this circle that's been placed around me

From time to time I find I've lost some need

That was urgent to myself, I do believe

 

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

 

Oh, you've got green eyes

Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Ooh, you've got green eyes

Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes

 

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before

No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

 

Bolts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Thoughts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Thoughts from above hit the people down below

 

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time (Starbucks' Java Chip Frappuccino 🧋🤦🏼‍♀️💰🌊)

 

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
 

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time

Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, no, I've never met anyone quite like you before

"Wake up with determination, go to bed with frustration."

My daily round up song - should be "Wasted Sunsets" - from the album "Perfect Strangers" (1984) by Deep Purple. Still, Ritchie Blackmore's solo tugs at my heart each time I listen to it. The one thing you'll never get back is time...
