- Lyrics:
You're number eight. Your name is Jane, with black hair, braids, and black lines around your eyes... Shades to hide your habit. I don't know your age, though you guessed mine... My sign. Your sign! The opening line is always just the same. The same intention, destination. Just you and me and rainbows.
Loaded guns attract. We know the rules, we don't react. We wait in hope, we don't expect - Just you and me and rainbows.
Down here everything is fine. We have a straw, we have a line. We have a bag, a rock, a mountain with a string of shepherds driving lions. Aiming skewers at the sheep... face down, asleep in onion fields. The frying fields. The worms... they peep through holes which once were eyes. They thrive... they bake although we painted out the sky and the sun. There's only thunder, and you and me and rainbows.
Let's hide out in the lay-by, let the time fly by. Tonight's disguise - a car crash with our wheels like shattered stars, our dashboard charred. Our windscreen... a graveyard for the flies (we're fast!) The hungry flies are circling, mourning as the watchers squat with cameras, cakes and flasks. They're spying, spitting as the blue light flashes, axes swing. We're broken wings, but still we'll fly and we'll reach our destination - you and me and rainbows.
And if we turn the lights down low and watch the sky cry through the window... Will I watch your fingers grow and stretch like butterflies? The shadows flexing, licking toes, and blinding as slowly sun sets on the same old hill. The same red glow. We're quite alone - just you and me and rainbows.
Everything I own is in the corner of your room. It's covered with a sheet just like it died - but I will take a broom. I'll sweep it new again, arrange it... Oh, I'll grow a dozen hands. No I never will neglect my world again. I'm safe beneath my blanket. Call it home... For you. For me... and rainbows
Loaded guns attract
We know the rules, we don't react
We wait in hope
We don't expect
Just you and me and rainbows
Looking down.

The Tear Garden is a psychedelic/gothic/electronic band, formed by Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy in 1985 after Key served as a sound engineer on tour in Canada for Ka-Spel. The Tear Garden was released that same year, with Dave Ogilvie producing.
The group reconvened in 1987 to release Tired Eyes Slowly Burning with contributions from the other members of Skinny Puppy to a limited degree of success. Members of the Legendary Pink Dots would henceforth contribute to Tear Garden and in 1992 they released the full-length album The Last Man to Fly. Another EP, Sheila Liked The Rodeo, much of which was live studio improvisation was accompanied by a video (directed by William Morrison) of the title track in 1993.
With the collapse of Skinny Puppy in 1995 and cEvin's primary commitment over, he and The Tear Garden released To Be an Angel Blind, The Crippled Soul Divide in 1996, followed by Crystal Mass in 2000. Crystal Mass marked a departure for the group, with more focus seemingly directed toward sound and production than the traditional staple, the lyrics. In 2002 a limited edition compilation of previously unreleased songs, Eye Spy With My Little Eye came out on Key's Subconscious Communications label. A best of, For Those Who Would Walk With The Gods is also available.
The Tear Garden have never toured, a detail that has limited their commercial potential. The only live performance of Tear Garden material by members of both Skinny Puppy and the Legendary Pink Dots was on April 14, 1988 in Leiden, Holland and May 1, 1988 at Foyer St. Arbogast in Strassbourg France, during Skinny Puppy's Head Trauma tour, for which Edward Ka-Spel was the opening solo act. At the end of Ka-Spel's set cEvin Key joined him on guitar and keyboards for a performance of the song The Centre Bullet. The Legendary Pink Dots have performed Isis Veiled as an almost necessary encore at every show during their last few tours.
After having successfully collaborated in 2007 on The Secret Experiment, Edward and cEvin wrapped up their sessions of 13 tracks, compiled into a brand new album called "Have A Nice Trip" released in 2009.

This song is one of the best songs ever written, I miss you soo much Sonia 😢
It's hard to believe this is 30 years old. I was heavy into this in high school. Pretty deep music for a 15 year old kid...I'm over 40 now and this is just as awesome as it ever was.
Bam! Im 50 now, and this track is still haunting me. Where did time went? Still running, but the ground is opening up
i agree, love songs by yukihiro takahashi, HiLt
93
First time I heard this track was fresh out of "CRAZY" Right wing fundamentalist Christianity.
(There may or not have been fungi involved.... 😊)
Same dude
This is one of my favorite songs of all time in ways I can never hope to express to anyone. If you get it, you get it.
If you don't, I can't explain it to you.
This song scared the s*** out of my young children. They would beg me to stop playing it. I just couldn't.
This came out when I was in HS and I still listen to it.
I always imagine a video for it. Two addicts who think they're in love w/each other, descending together to the darkest deepest hell their habit leads to.
I don’t know why I’ve never heard this until today. I was searching for “progressive industrial” and not only was this exactly what I was searching for, it features some of my absolute favorite musicians.
my first time ever listening to this song gave me an emotion that i could not explain, had never felt before, and probably will never feel again. An absolutely amazing experience to listen to even now, but hard to find the words to recommend it to people.
I used to be buy every record published by Skinny Puppy and Legendary Pink Dots since their beginning. I loved so much this album. Quintessential.
It took me ten years to get into this song.
In 2005, I was part of the goth music share community in livejournal, and someone shared this track, raving about how "if you have one track by the Tear Garden, it HAS to be this one..." but I simply couldn't get into it. I tried, listened over and over, but it just didn't do it for me.
Flash forward to 2014. I was commuting between Amsterdam and the Hague, a 50 minute train ride. After a while, I got sick of the music I was listening to, and one night, I was heading back to A'dam after dark. At night, they leave the lights on in the train, so you can't even look out the window (because of the glare). So I did what was, at the time, the completely unthinkable: I put my ipod on shuffle. This song came on, and I thought, what the hell, I've got 50 mins.
I immediately got chills. Although I hadn't listened to it in eight years, I remembered the drum beat, Edward's creepy, ominous voice in the opening minutes, like letting you know something insane is about to happen. I had seen the pink dots at Slim's in SF a few years back, and could really picture him in that moment.
When the guitar riff started at 11.04, it was like a punch to the gut. I actually started to cry, right there on public transit. It was one of the most beautiful riffs I'd ever heard. By 13.21, I was already emotional, and that next movement felt like I was being welcomed home after a long trip.
Six years later, I still listen to all 17 minutes of this track regularly. I am now one of those people who obnoxiously tells people they "HAVE" to have this song.
this song and ophelia are just incredible
Praise Thee for giving this Song in it's Entirety.
True goth
I used to DJ at a Goth club in Colorado, and finally the last time I DJ'd this was the last song I ever played. Since the Tear Garden have never toured (WTF?) I always wanted to hear this song very loud. Mission accomplished.
+Schuyler242 Which club?
I have probably danced to ya tunes.
The Underground in the Springs.
That would be an empty dance floor with two nerds. Most likely one of them resembling myself.
Not necessarily, I also DJ'd this at a special function- and the dance floor filled.
One of my favorite records, in my late teens (late 1980s). This song is EPIC, it still gives me goosebumps.
Late 80s was a great time for industrial teens as us.
We're broken wings, but sure we'll fly and reach our destination. You and me and rainbows.
There's something in this song that really scares the shit out of me
you can't cut this song short, mood is everything in this song
16 minutes and 46 secs of enigmatic music and beautyful lyrics.
"I'll sweep it new again, arrange it... Oh, I'll grow a dozen hands. No I never will neglect my world again"
20 yr old me came back to listen to this and it's still powerful (27 yrs and I still love em)
Brings back some great memories of tripping in the ‘90s. ❤️
This song was mandatory
Part of my being! I've listened to this many times over 20 plus years and it lives in my heart..
I think you are my type of person Christa..!
Maybe you're my type of person too Aaron!
Thank You - You must be an Indigo Person.. I salute your soul.
Omg I could not have put it any better

The Tear Garden - You And Me And Rainbows [ Full + HQ ]
their best song, one of if not the best song ever, thank you
nothing dotdlmsc
Hail Eris yes it is
Just some needle junkies doing junky shit
This is a true gem. A genial collaboration. Edward and cEVIN. What could possibly go wrong?
Star's become aligned and Cthulhu swallows the sea... That's all... Nothing too serious, right?
everything I own is in the corner of your room, covered by a sheet just like it died.
It's been a while since I've heard this. It's just.. perfect.
I love this song so hard. Thank you
I think it was Chris Connelly who sold me this CD at the Wax Trax store in Chicago back in the day. I really loved the Centre Bullet EP and had no idea there was a full album, so imagine the feels when getting my mitts on this gem.
Stjohn909 i used to come down from milwaukee to waxx in the late 80s every weekend Ive met Uncle Al and he was totally a great guy who chatted with us for 15 min. Theae days it wouldnt happen with the rockers being too big for the fans I miss waxx teaxx
I met quite a few artists at WaxTrax and they were all humble.
Chris was a cool guy.
I lost my virginity to this song back in 98' when I was 16. SO AWESOME TO HEAR THIS AGAIN!
Must've been a fuckin trip
I was introduced to this by Patty Schmidt on Brave New Waves on CBC Radio 2 in the late 90s and I've loved it ever since.
This is the sweet stuff.
A buddy introduced me to this group with this song in 94 and still my fav song
Yesterday I saw a rainbow, and then they started playing "They Can't Take That From Me" on the radio. I knew what I had to do...
Thanks for posting this marvellous track (an all this LP is).
I really like the very two *Tear Garden* debut records : the mini-LP (aka *Center Bullet*), and this LP (*Tired Eyes Slowly Burning*).
I have them both as vinyle, and I'll always keep them both, whatever anything could happen.
Oh, how I have missed this track! Near and ever so dear to my heart! Thank you for posting the lyrics. 💖💖💖
Im so happy to see this here. Meredith kohler introduced me to this in 94. I miss her alot. Thank you for sending those tapes. We should have moved in together, who knows? When I stayed in cape coral I wanted to drive to st pete daily. Years later back in nc I still think of you.
this song sums up my life back in the day
I am a happy girl with rainbows♥
This song is about me. I am number 8.
All this time later. Still magic. 🖤
This was my Staiway to Heaven
It's...beautiful!
Have always loved this track. thx...
Have this album on CD and cassette and even have that limited to 2000 russian compilation with this track
Thanks for this and the mini-bio much props
I've met cEvin key. We've talked, but he shuts down when I try to talk about this song. My sister introduced me to this band with this song and she died at 23 with these lyrics written down on paper under her bed. Edward shut me down too., when I met him and tried to talk about it. I don't get it, I just wanted to tell them what this song means to me
Guess they really didn’t care about how you felt about hearing the song 😢
ageless music, We wait in Hope, We don't expect - Has it really been 30 years.
Ahhhh, how this takes me back..... to tripping balls in a black-lit room in the 90's. Glorious. 🌈🖤
Remember, after the first few times, always starting this song at 8:01?
Ici-bas, tout est OK. Nous avons la paille, nous avons une ligne, nous avons un sac, une pierre, une montagne, avec une ceinture de bergers animant les lions... Une brochette de moutons, prête à viser, la tête baissée, endormie, en rangs d'oignons... Les terrains effervescents - les vers qui piaillent à travers les trous - qui jadis furent des yeux, ils dominent - ils fermentent, et même si nous peignons le ciel... Le Soleil... Il n'y a que le Tonnerre... Et toi, et moi, et L'Arc-en-ciel.
listen to the ending backwards. like many LPD and TG songs it's interesting.
PS : I'm sure that the part _"Let's hide out in the lay-by, ... We're broken wings..."_ is sang by *Nivek Ogre* himself, for a little appearence in this side-project. Isn't it ? ;P
Frantz Balinski that is Nivek’s voice for sure! Unmistakable and incomparable. 💕❤️
Could be no other... it’s sooo goood
coolness.
⛓⛓🖤🖤⛓⛓
wth far more peoplse should know this music let's open wide the gates of the garden
this is the way step inside
ooopppss
axes axes axes swing
Proper.
👍 fucking a ...perfect
Anyone have any links/resources on Ogre and Edward Ka-Spel interviews regarding their collaborations? Mainly interested in ones where they are interviewed together.
I remember you, Pretty.
Lions
Does anyone know what analog synthesizer is used for this massive sounding arpeggio intro?
Black Star - David Bowie.
Is what this sounds like.
David P.
How exactly though??? I am not into both their genre of music... So I honestly can't relate the two together... It starts to really get bad with the random thumps and bumps... (: -p I'm gonna reallyasusme this is what goth music is... Its very incoherent and difficult to groove into...
he sings like bowie and bowie came first
what is the weird breathing/singing sample at the end?
:)
