      The isnt the cover art, this is a song from the album "nite flights" and the art work is quite fitting, sorry to burst ur bubble. This is a compilation album entailing their work from the early 60's to 77, which ended with the last aforementioned album. If u actually dig this song check out Scott Walkers solo albums. Soused and Bish Bosch to start. This song is an easy in to the genius of his true works. But absolutely not for the faint of heart. This song is easy listening compared to "Fetish" or "Farmer in the city". But if u have balls try it.

    I always think of the end of _Brazil_ when I listen to this song, with the soaring middle passage corresponding to Sam Lowry's hallucinations sandwiched between sessions in the torturer's chair.

    The film Bronson is about the human spirit that seeks to create and the human will that never gives up. All he wanted was to actually express himself but he wasn't allowed to. During the end scene when he puts a hat and an apple inside the librarian's mouth, he was recreating the painting known as _Son of Man._ The painting has strong Christ connotations, as does the film.

    [Lyrics]
    Baby, it's slow
    When lights go low
    There's no help, no
    Baby, it's slow
    When lights go low
    There's no help, no
    He's drilling through the Spiritus Sanctus tonight
    Through the dark hip falls
    Screaming, "Oh, you mambos
    Kill me and kill me and kill me"
    If I jerk the handle
    You'll die in your dreams
    If I jerk the handle, jerk the handle
    You'll thrill me and thrill me and thrill me
    Baby, it's slow
    When lights go low
    There's no help, no
