Black satin rules my life It's a mistress, a temptress, a demanding wife Black satin rules my life For what turns you on will eventually control you I want to see you dressed in black Look at ya, tight and black I want to film you swinging back and forth For I am the hangman And I'll swing for you I am the hangman And the noose was made for you Ten little beauty queens Ten little beauty queens Little girl, little girl Be my queen I'll do it quick, make it clean Little girl, little girl Put this on I'll raise you high then I'll adore you Nine little beauty queens Nine little beauty queens A handful of pills when it went too far Left the girl swinging on the film set star Went for a drive in the mystery car Now show no mercy I implore you Eight little beauty queens Eight little beauty queens Black satin rules my life It's a femme fatal, a cause of strife Black satin rules my life For what turns you on will eventually destroy you For I am the hanged man And I'll swing for you I am the hanged man Now my little beauty's blue Seven little beauty queens Six little beauty queens Five little beauty queens Four little beauty queens Three little beauty queens Two little beauty queens One little beauty queen

3.	Dog-End Of A Day Gone By 03:53	lyrics	buy track
There's a man on the corner coming on like Moses Flogging new religion Like a bunch of plastic roses He's found his path through the bleeding heart of Jesus You tell him- You've found yours Heir to a future, you never made There is nothing less amusing Then the amusement of Hate In a city without a soul Newspaper boys selling you the hard truth Lucifer employs idle hands by night and day Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Don't let the smoke get in your eyes Well, the drunk outside the wendy Is becoming less than friendly A dog is barking at the moon The drunk outside the wendy Is becoming less than friendly A dog is barking at the moon You want to get away From the city of lights Then when you've gone You want to get back It is some strange addiction When you need to put yourself Back on the rack Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Don't let the smoke get in your eye Stop at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy ...

about

"The Violence of Etiquette" is TAM's tribute album to David J Haskins of Love and Rockets/Bauhaus. After opening for David J in 2012 in Montreal, David J's manager Darwin asked her to record some David J covers, so this was the end result of that request, tho it has taken some time to release, all 3 songs are now fully licensed to TAM thanks to Lionfish Music.
Bonus items upon purchase of the album include back cover, song list & rare, provocative photos of TAM from those years.
Any unauthorized reproduction or distribution of TAM's recordings on this album or any of its visual content is strictly prohibited by law.
