Watch That Grandad Go Lyrics


Im sitting tight, Im holding still
The flowers bite, the cobwebs still
We walk in file, we stand in line
The drug is in and we did notSince youve been so lonely
Pain will cease to tease you
Scars may not be ugly
A dolls leg fits around youWhy is everybody burning sky
Misfit plug and chicken pie
Walk in file and dance in line
Straightedge tango sequins shineThe ground is steady, the stiff is stiff
The cobwebs torn, the tide is tired
Youre so alone, youre so awake
You wish, youd never been awakeThe knock goes off and the knock goes out
The city spills, theres a lover who screams
The sickness fills when the night gets tough
You wish, youd never been so so so skinnyWalk in line, dance in fileSicking all night and working all day
Spin with fright when youre finding no way
And the drums get dark in night or day

Sicking all night and working all daySee my granddad go
Walk in line, dance in fileWalk and dance in single file
Right up to the bread in here
Couldnt find the bread in thereWe couldnt find the bread
And we couldnt find the heart
And we worked so hard
We worked so heartbeatIf I look up there, if I look a fool
If I look up there, if I look a foolJack went up the, Jack came down the
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack came flying down the still
Jack, whatre you doing jack?
I dont know, Im back, oh noI told you not to put on those trousers
Dont put on the trousers
Dont put on the trousers
Your dress is too starched
Its too starchedYou got a high class face today
You ought to have used nail polishLights out fast and sleep at night
Lights out fast and sleep at night
Turn the light out, get into bed
Cover yourself upYour head, your head
Your head, your head

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There are two artists that have used this name:

1) Bauhaus were an English gothic rock band formed in Northampton, England in 1978. The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums) & David J (bass). The band was originally named Bauhaus 1919 until they dropped the numerals within a year of formation. They combined a number of influences (punk, glam rock, funk & dub) to create a very dark but very passionate sound, appealing to many looking for something new after punk. Their sound proved very influential, inspiring or bringing attention to a whole wave of post-punk groups delving in the intense, dark and creepy style that would eventually come to be known as goth rock. Bauhaus remains one of the most popular groups of its era and genre.

Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones On Tail and later as Love And Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and on a more permanent basis in 2005. The group announced plans to disband again following the release of their final album "Go Away White" in 2008.

The release of "Go Away White" signaled the end of the band and there was no supporting tour. Drummer Kevin Haskins said in an interview that they "were getting along really well, but there was an incident that occurred." As a result, "some of us just felt that we didn't want to carry on as a working unit". In an interview with SuicideGirls, bassist David J said about the breakup: "You have a test tube, and you pour in one chemical, and you pour in another chemical, and something happens. It starts to bubble. Pour in another chemical, and it starts to bubble a bit more. You pour in a fourth chemical, and it bubbles really violently, and then explodes. That's my answer". Peter Murphy claimed in another interview that "[...] he was most satisfied with the bonding on an emotional level. It was good to be working together and to put the past behind us and it was very positive. The result was coming out really fast, so it was exciting and it was very enjoyable," but in the end "[...] that rocky character worked and I think it was a bit right to finish it, really."

Murphy also stated in his MySpace blog in January that "there's a lot more to it than this 'incident' that I've heard bandied about. In any group's business there are constant incidents, so what? Committing to being in a band takes tolerance, love, and a massive commitment. I've walked on that stage at times when I could emotionally barely manage to and give it all just the same. If I'd let some disagreement or bad word distract me from that goal, then I'd need to question my integrity. Anton Corbijn once related to me how Bono of U2 talked about one of the reasons that U2 had survived was that they're unlike many English bands; there was a kinship and priority given to each other as family. I personally sympathize with that. 'There is no love where there is no Love.'"

2) Bauhaus was also the name of an Italian jazz rock band. They made recordings in 1974 but they weren't released until almost 30 years later.
