I played this song for my dad and he actually liked it. Im changing this family for the better
Meanwhile I played Swans to my dad and he hated it
やっぱりこれがいい！最高だ！
i can't think of any band doing it better than them
Common people this is the best music ever and Gira a genius. Period.

Saw them in 92 and never after. Maybe i should go see them again..
a great song from a great album.
a great song from a great album called the great annihilator
Finest song written about Gira's ex-girlfriend (Madonna).
Wait, Michael Gira dated Madonna?
@@Doogle946 LOLOL
@@Doogle946 Duh, you can hear their similar music influences
@@Doogle946 He did in the early 80s. But only for a few weeks.
@@richardroberson2564 Really?
Description is lovely
It's just reeks this dirty New York vibe. This song is literally Abel Ferrara of songs lol.
can you suggest any of his films that have this tematic?
@@TheKoNoGuN the addiction
we are love you too, michael
Thank you, Michael, it's a great music.
why does this remind me of Sonic Youth?
Sonic youth and Swans hang together! amazing bands!
Not in all the tracks, but in this album there is a strong Sonic Youth vibe. Absolutely great
early swans are part of the no wave/noise/industrial music like sonic youth
They came out of the Lower East Side Womb together
well they both ripped off Glenn Branca.
The secret sign of a charmed existence
Is the shiny liquid on her lips
And the ecstasy that comes with her image grows
From the power that the money gives
And she's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she's just floating in space
And she's got a celebrity lifestyle
All her children want a suck and a taste of
Oh, her celebrity lifestyle
Yeah, her celebrity life
And she's just a drug addiction
And a self-reflecting image of a narcotized mind
[Refrain]
Ah, li-life
Ah, li-life
[Verse 2]
The secret wisdom of 120 days
Is hidden deep in between her legs
And sexual transcendence is reserved for the wealthy
But is only one joy that money can make, and
She's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she's got a glowing white face, and
She's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she ties her naked children up with wires and lace
Oh, her celebrity lifestyle is the
Product of a celebrity mind, yeah
Oh, her celebrity mouth is the
Perfect image of the end of time
[Refrain]
Ah, li-life
Ah, li-life
[Outro]
Oh, my celebrity lifestyle
Oh, my celebrity fear, and
Oh, my celebrity lifestyle
Oh, my celebrity fear, and
Oh, my celebrity lifestyle and
Oh, my celebrity fear
Oh, my celebrity lifestyle

Reminds me of early QOTSA/Desert Sessions
OMFG ANOTHER QOTSA FAN
MY 2 FAV BANDS IN THE WORLD ARE QOTSA AND SWANS
@@thefreaksbg1061 I mean they are definitely two of the best bands ever. Ya like Kyuss too?
@@emmarossignol4445 yeah kyuss is fucking awesome
BILL RIEFLIN - YOU FU*KING LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
* edit : Ted Parsons is the drummer here though . Just as legendary btw .
Can't help but hear Cornell's vocals of Jesus Christ Pose in my mind while listening to this.
huh, I was about to say I hear a strong Sonic Youth vibe in this track
I hear the guitar line of "Night Shift" by Siouxsie And The Banshees
@@chapter_black3234 that's right my friend
❤️

celebrity lifestyle and celebrity drugs
With the money I spent on hotels it's about right
i think of the spate of Taylor Swift/AI pictures, how things change, but remain the same.
"Best" era Swans for me.
Does Tay Tay do $ellebrity $uper Bowl and stand there thinking if she wiped her bottom as thoroughly as she could have done...
