Body Electric - 7" single Cover (front)
Body And Soul - Cover (front)
Some Girls Wander By Mistake - Cover (front)

Body Electric, like Alice exists in two officially recorded versions:


Lyrics

Through the cables and the underground now
The faceless breathless calls
This is Babel, sensurround now
This place is death with walls (repeat x4)

Too much contact, no more feeling
The Sound around them all
Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling
And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall (repeat x2)
Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call
See the body flashing on the bathroom wall
(repeat all)


Music & Lyrics: Andrew Eldritch
