Our rendition of a song we loved back in 1980, our band name was the Pedestrians, and we were from Chicago. Brother Brill on drums and tympani.
Just finished album #1: Blues, Cats and Layabouts.
Would you like a copy? Lemme know.
Starting my next album: Difficult Women.
Man on The Road, plus more
Wo
Story behind the song
I believe Ian Curtis was writing about, Conquest, one of the temptations of Faust.
Lyrics
Ramses, Xerxes, Alexander, Cesar, Genghis Khan, Cortez, Napoleon, Hitler…
Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.
Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me...
