Tinseltown
Nightfall on tinsel town
All the moonbeams streaming down
On the dreams of man
In a tranquil land
On the diamond sea
Glittering endlessly
All is held spellbound
Down in tinsel town
Gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna love, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
So gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
Dead boys, fantasists, creeps, cobras, communists
Freaks, queers, imbeciles, death squads, masochists
Hippies, gypsies, cannibals, headshrinkers, amazons
Rebels, pagans, cynics, martyrs, raiders, pirates, animals
Gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna love, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
So gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
Barbarians, vampires, catholics, protestants
Scum, prophets, outcasts, Satanists, warriors
Mannequins, sadists, romantics, sluts, prodigals
Pimps, psychos, angels, perverts, idiots, zombies
Gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna love, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
So gimme love, gimme, gimme, gimme
Love, Love
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Love, Love
Dream just dream away
Just dream away
Nightfall on tinsel town
All the glitter streaming down
Incandescent dreams
In ascendancy
On the astral plane
All is silent once again
As the stars look down
Over tinsel town
Song Notes
Mark said of the song during the writing of Meltdown:
A 9 minute epic which goes on a music odyssey, covers every genre from 4 to the floor handbag to sonic youth spaz outs and kraut rock.
