THROBBING GRISTLE - hamburger lady (live Turin 2005.06.29)

By far worse is the hambuger lady,
We must heal them for the qualified technicians,
Worse,
Alternating nights are automatic,
She's lying there,
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady
She's dying,
She is burned from the waist up,
On her arm,
Her ear is burned,
Her eyelashes are burned,
She can't hold things up,
And even with medical advances,
There's no end in sight,
For hamburger lady,
She wants me to tell you of her claim mind,
From which the double play laying,
The proping chair,
Leave her,
She's Burned from the waist down,
Has to eat her life through tubes,
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady
She's okay if you change the tubes,
Tubes in her legs,
the tubes in her arms,
She's okay,
Then it came out and saw the burn net,
Indeed in the account of killing,
And he flashed on the carpet,
And he flashed on the floor,
The hamburger lady,
She came to rest,
Because of the burn she needs relief,
From the medication,
The qualified Technician,
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady

I lived a life of innocence until I heard this song

[@HairyColeslaw]

This is anxiety inducing...AND irresistible..

[@Romany1111]

The sound of spacecraft, hurtling along with a cargo of raw bodies, harvested from children's hospitals, refrigeration broken. The crew , acne-scarred and obese, has gorged on Drake's Cakes and is unwell. A tape of Captain Kangaroo loops incessantly. It's so nice to see the band together, sharp, and smiling.

[@AndrewWells]

This is a burn that nothing will ever soothe...

I remember listening to this track on a tape of T.G. titled "Live At The Factory In Manchester" while driving down a long hill on route 2 (Arlington Heights), heading into Boston, MA in 1979. It was a raw day in December with melting snow sublimating into fog. The median strip of the highway was lined with these tall, metal lightposts that arched over the road and receded into the rising mist down the long hill with the skyline of the city silhouetted in the distance. With the mechanized droning of the synth in the music and that shrill, clarion horn sound repeating like a beacon over it, it was like a surreal, futuristic vision of an alien world. The music could not have been more fitting. It was an amazing and inspiring moment I'll never forget!
A friend was with me at the time, sleeping in the passenger seat. As I became aware of the intensity of the moment I tried in vain to wake him, but couldn't do it.
